Fortress Colony: The Final Act Vol. II 1945-1964

Hardback | English

By (author): Jospeh M.Pirotta

Professor Joseph M. Pirotta who holds a Ph.D. in politics from the University of Reading, is a former head of the Department of International Relations in the Faculty of Education of the University of Malta, and former Chairman of the Broadcasting Authority.
In his four-volume study, Pirotta meticulously examines Malta’s twenty-year transformation from Britain’s foremost Mediterranean fortress colony to sovereign State. Acclaimed for its heroic resistance to fascism during the Second World War that ostensibly bound it closer to its imperial masters, the over-populated, physically wrecked Island bereft of resources, joined the ranks of indpendent states in 1964. To examine the why and the how of this transformation Pirotta delved through voluminous Maltese and British documents, local and foreign archives and interviewed numerous key personalities. Analysing the complicated power game played by party, Church and trade union leaders, Pirotta reveals much that went on behind the scenes.
Joseph M. Pirotta has a well-established reputation for scholarship, objectivity and an easy flowing style that appeals equally to the academic, to the student of Maltese political history, and to the general reader who would like to be properly informed about Malta’s struggle to achieve independence.
