(First published in 1954, Jagan's 'Story of British Guiana...)
First published in 1954, Jagan's 'Story of British Guiana' appeared in the aftermath of the military intervention that removed from office the democratically elected government of which he was Premier. Jagan showed how this fitted into both the colonial policy of Britain and the Cold War spearheaded by the US. The book includes an analysis of labour and the colonies as well as a new preface by the author calling for a break in policies which are leading both the developed and developing worlds faster to disaster.
