Dubbed the "Lion of the Caribbean" because of his imposing frame and charismatic appeal, he led the country's movement to secede from the West Indies Federation in 1961. At times quixotic but always determined, Bustamante proved to be one of democracy's staunchest defenders at a time when other Caribbean leaders cowered in fear of Cuba's Castro.
