From the Inside Flap
This is a true story about an idyllic tropical island and the mercenaries who set out to steal if for profit and adventure.

In 1981, a small but heavily armed force of misfits from the United States and Canada set off on a preposterous mission: invade an impoverished Caribbean country, overthrow its government in a coup d' tat, install a puppet prime minister, and transform it into a crooks' paradise.

Their leader was a Texas soldier-of-fortune type named Mike Perdue. His lieutenant was a Canadian Nazi named Wolfgang Droege. Their destination: Dominica.

For two years they recruited fighting men, wooed investors, stockpiled weapons and forged links with the mob, leftist revolutionaries and militant Rastafarians. They called their invasion Operation Red Dog. They were going to make millions. People were going to die. An entire nation was going to suffer. All that stood in their way were two federal agents from New Orleans on the biggest cast of their lives.

Set in the Caribbean, Canada and the American South at the beginning of the end of the Cold War, and based on hundreds of pages of declassified US government documents, as well as exclusive interviews with those involved, "Bayou of Pigs" tells a remarkable tale of foreign military intervention, revolutionary politics, greed, treachery, stupidity, deceit and one of the most outlandish criminal stunts ever conceived: the theft of a nation.

Stewart Bell is an award-winning journalist and the author of two critically acclaimed books, the national bestseller "Cold Terror" and "The Martyr's Oath." He was awarded the Amnesty International prize for "Guerilla Girls," his magazine article about child soldiers in West Africa. His magazine article about an Algerian terrorist, "The Terrorist Next Door," was made into a television movie.
