This is a non-fiction of Westlake, an author I really enjoy reading.This is a departure by going non-fiction.Quite the off the wall story of mismanagement, mishandling, and mishagahss of the British empire in decline and with imperialistic incompetency.Westlake describes the British invasion of the Caribbean island of Anguilla on March 19, 1969 -- an engagement dubbed by Time as "Britain's Bay of Piglets." What was this tiny querulous democracy -- black and white petit bourgeois all -- after? This was a puzzlement to almost everyoneIt was written in 1972 and seems dated in 2011.But I am smitten with Dortmunder.
