Product Description
Synopsis
Sir Seretse Khama, the first President of Botswana and heir apparent to the kingship of the Bangwato people, brought independence and great prosperity to his nation after colonial rule. But for six long years from 1950, Seretse had been forced into exile in England, banned from his own country. His crime? To fall in love and marry a young, white English girl, Ruth Williams. Delving into newly released records, Susan Williams tells Seretse and Ruth's story - a shocking account of how the British Government conspired with apartheid South Africa to prevent the mixed-race royal couple returning home. But it is also an inspiring, triumphant tale of hope, courage and true love as with tenacity and great dignity Seretse and Ruth and the Bangwato people ovecome prejudice in their fight for justice.

4.0 out of 5 stars A joy to read, 2 Jan 2008
I found this a very enjoyable read. Having visited Botswana in the summer, I actually read this when I returned - I wish I has read it before I left.

The underlying love story is well told, and the politics come across as abhorent as they were thought of at the time.

I would recommend this to anyone interested in post-colonial Africa, race issues, British politics, or anyone thinking of travelling to Southern Africa.
