Fortress Colony: The Final Act 1964-1968 - Vol 4: 1962-1968

The book describes and analyzes the complicated power game played by party, church and trade union leaders under the watchful eye of the imperial power. A highly documented account of Malta's final colonial years.

In studiul sau in patru volume, Pirotta examineaza meticulos transformarea de douazeci de ani a Maltei de la cea mai importanta colonie de cetati mediteraneene din Marea Britanie la stat suveran. Aclamat pentru rezistenta sa eroica fata de fascism in timpul celui de-al doilea razboi mondial, care l-a legat in mod aparent mai aproape de stapanii sai imperiali, insula supra-populata, distrusa fizic, lipsita de resurse, a intrat in randurile statelor independente in 1964.
