Caribbean Security Threats: A threat assessment for islands of the Caribbean
This book was written in 2018 and talks about the multitude of security issues affecting the Caribbean and the problems stemming from the criminal state of Venezuela.

Most people’s view of the Caribbean and its more than 7,000 individual islands is that of a tropical paradise: blue seas, white sand beaches, and palm trees. To some extent this is accurate, but what most tourists and visitors either don’t see or are prevented from seeing is the real situation.

The Caribbean has always been and continues to be a haven for smugglers and pirates. Historically the islands have traded amongst themselves and what is classed as drug trafficking routes today are nothing more than the old trade routes. The contraband used to be rum and tobacco; nowadays it has been replaced by drugs, firearms and dirty money.

In this short book, I aim to educate readers by highlighting some of the issues within the Caribbean, as well as offer suggestions on how to ensure stability in a potentially unstable region.
