Description: An excerpt from a book about the 1967 rebellion in favor of colonial status, and the subsequent invasion two years later by the misunderstanding British to quell the disorder.
When in the spring of 1967 the tiny Caribbean island of Anguilla rebelled against independence and in favor of colonialism, the action was so misunderstood by the islander's ex-mother country, Great Britain, that two years later the English invaded the peace with 315 paratroopers in a witless attempt to put the rebellion down. Since British rule was exactly what the Anguillans had been asking for, this was a military expedition doomed by its presumptions to plunge into defeat, humiliated rather than slaughtered, but resoundly trounced for all that.
