Memories 1941-1973 - Book One

Martin Scicluna comments:

This book, setting out Peter Apap Bologna’s Memories of the thirty-two years from 1941 to 1973, could establish him as the Chips Channon of Malta – a social and political diarist of an era of Maltese history long gone, but whose nostalgic memories linger on.

It is the first of three volumes written in a series of short essays on a range of topics, supported by extracts from his own letters and diaries. The book contains some wonderful black and white photographs which perhaps more than anything serve to capture the nostalgia of a Malta during war-time and after independence.
