- THINGS ARE NOT THE SAME
- The reader finds himself waiting for it as this electrifying entertaining book goes forward: Independence. Now they've got it. In a moving ceremony at the Mahali, HRH Princess Margaret swears in the Governor General Sir Bertram Tibbets, who then swears in his Ministers. the Union Jack has come down and the green-black-green flag of the new nation now flies proudly.
The pagentry continues during the State Opening of the new nation's Parliament as Princess Margaret reads an eye-opening Queen's Address from the Throne. Cassell outdoes himself on this one, using the spirit and tension of his own ten years deeply involved in Nation-Building.
This story is a must-read for lovers of politico-military drama. - 2007-12-13, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
