"The Fighting Maroons of Jamaica" is a historical account written by Carey Robinson and published by William Collins and Sangster in 1969 (First Edition). The book provides a detailed exploration of the Maroon people of Jamaica, who were renegade slaves that emancipated themselves and began to harass the English settlers and farmers after the English invasion of Jamaica in 1655. These bands of Maroons grew in number and strength in the Blue Mountains and the Clarendon Hills, eventually forming a significant threat to the stability of the colony. Robinson's work is a testament to the resilience and heroism of the Maroons, offering readers a deep dive into their lifestyles, fighting tactics, and their mastery of guerrilla warfare. The book is a significant contribution to the understanding of Jamaican history and the Maroon people's resistance against slavery. It's a hardback edition and a valuable addition to any historical literature collection.The book has publisher's errors on pages 67-68, where the pages are folded over with a small piece missing on the bottom edge.
