Product Description
Review
"The Best Travel Book 1998" and "The Best Book Cover--1998" -- Sacramento Publisher's Association
Book Description
This book is written in two parts. Part 1 covers the history of the region in general. You can get an overview of Caribbean history in just 68 pages. Part 2 covers the history of 19 of the islands that were major players during the region's historical development.
We wrote this book with the traveler in mind--not for the world of academia. It is tightly written at a reasonable reading level in an easy-to-read format and type size--and it's light-weight.

A Valuable Tool For Travelers,
By John H. Andrew (Gold River, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Traveler's Guide to Caribbean History (Paperback)
"A Traveler's Guide To Caribbean History" should accompany every visitor to the islands and waters of the West Indies. Don and Dene Dachner have produced an essential guide for all who are interested in understanding the history of their Caribbean destinations. Following an overview of the history of the entire region, the Dachners provide informative capsule reviews of the history of each Caribbean destination from Amerindian times through the colonial period - be it Spanish, British, French, Dutch or American - to the present day. The book includes maps, photographs and such useful information as local tourist contacts. The Dachners' "A Traveler's Guide To Caribbean History" should be in every Caribbean traveler's bag and every Caribbean cruise ship's library and gift shop.
