Beyond the Islands: James Mitchell: An Autobiography

Sir James Mitchell's autobiography provides an intriguing insight into his long and eventful career at the forefront of Caribbean politics. During the thirty-five years that he was a Member of Parliament of the Grenadines, at the time of retirement, Sir James had been the longest serving Prime Minister in the Caribbean, having spent eighteen years as the head of government, and the only one to have served from Colonialism through Statehood and Independence. In addition to this, he was the only leader who founded a political party, and retired from office after winning four consecutive general elections.
