Spice: A satire on the US invasion of Grenada in 1983

By Richard Page

Could an uptight, freaky Englishman crazy for a sassy, sexy girl have triggered the disastrous US invasion of the Caribbean spice island of Grenada in 1983? Spice provides a scenario just as plausible as the official rationale advanced at the time. On the evening of the invasion the author spoke with Margaret Thatcher: she was spitting feathers. A simple phone call to her from President Reagan would have changed history. This sardonic spoof on the real events shows what can happen when a middle-aged failure fuelled by lust, revenge and obsession pits his wits against the mightiest intelligence and military machine of the 20th century. It is a tale of madness: firstly, that of demented, fictional individuals. Far more frighteningly, it is about a paranoid, powerful regime. The characters in Spice are of course imaginary. The historical and military events they highlight are, amazingly, true.
