|a "Patrick Roberts' 'Iron Love: A Book of The Desperadoe Steel Orchestra' is a personal insight into the great Trinidad and Tobago Steel Orchestra Desperadoes from one whose family has Lived close to Desperadoes the best Steel orchestra in the world, for his entire life Roberts' account is a passionate symphony of Love anger, frustration, hilarity and history, associated with LaventiLLe and Desperadoes. It is not the book of Desperadoes, for no one book can fully document the living organism that is the steel band or orchestra, especially one of Desperadoes' caliber and magnitude It is his story of the enigmatic Desperadoes and its move from iron band to bamboo band-to steel band and then to steel orchestra, which in a sense is a parallel to Roberts' growth from boyhood to manhood, with all the inherent challenges oüeishådowed by strong family ties and the desire to succeed in spite of any and all obstacles. It is his story of Laventille, which as he says 'looks down on Trinidad and Tobago's capital city, Port of Spain, with as much disdain as Port of Spain looks up on LaventilLe,' the birthplace of the Steelband and Desperadoes. It is his story ofthe challenges of managing in the cultural sphere where there is no road map and one has to innovate almost on the fly. It is also his story of celebration, especially through the longest partnership between industry and culture in the world, the fifty-five year old partnership between West Indian Tobacco Company Limited (WITCO) and Desperadoes. It is a book of an unflinching and unapologetic love, it is a book of 'Iron Love: A Book of The Desperadoes Steel Orchestra'."--Page 4 of cover.
