Philip Jones Griffiths Invaded sports field. Grenada. 1983.
"Grenadians for generations had welcomed the only foreigners they encountered-tourists. So U.S. forces had the rare experience of being surrounded by polite
(...) and friendly locals. For many Americans, the Grenada invasion was seen as a morale booster after their defeat in Vietnam.
Griffiths' Welsh roots gave him a natural sympathy for the Davids over the Goliaths of this world, and in the course of his travels to over 120 countries during his career, he was often focused on documenting the struggle for freedom: from Algeria to Vietnam to Grenada in 1983."
