Produced at the end of a two-year heritage project on the West Indian contribution to the First World War, The Caribbean's Great War is the first dedicated work to the efforts of the British Caribbean during the conflict.

In full colour (save original black and white photographs), It includes over 150 pages of information about the West Indian Home Front, the efforts of West Indians to participate in the war and covering exploits in the Middle East, the Western Front, in the skies and at sea, told using the unique records and photographs of the West India Committee's Library and Archive, inscribed by UNESCO as a Memory of the World.

Although aimed at a general audience, the book offers an in-depth resource for students and researchers, and contains a list of the deceased from the West India Regiment and the British West India Regiment.

Written by a range of West India Committee contributors, it features a foreword by Britain's leading First World War historian, Sir Hew Strachan.
