Disappointed with the purely secular tone of the earlier West Indian histories, Thomas Coke concentrated on the history of the missions in the Caribbean. Written immediately after the abolition of slavery, but 25 years before emancipation, and based on a wealth of documentation - including much from records that no longer exist - this work has become a classic account of the early Protestant missions.Coke, Thomas is the author of 'History of the West Indies', published 1971 under ISBN 9780714619330 and ISBN 0714619337.
