Book excerpt: For six days in 1990, Trinidad and Tobago, a former British colony that had achieved its independence in 1962, was virtually held for ransom by a fundamentalist Muslim group known as the Jamaat al Muslimeen. The terroorists launched an armed invasion of the sitting Parliament and the country's lone television station. Days of Wrath recounts the days of terror wrought by a handful of Muslim terrorists. Told by seasoned journalist Raoul Pantin who was one of the hostages in the Trinidad and Tobago Television station building, this sensational account describes in vivid detail the scene that had the citizens of the nation wondering if they would now have to submit to another form of colonization.
