This book makes for light reading as it written in an easy going style and yet it covers the principal historical events of the islands. I do get the sneaking suspicion though, that since the author is British, events under the British rule tend to get a rosier depiction.

The British arrogancy and ignorance disgusted me to the point that it deleted the file after reading 30 or so pages.

A very easy-reading style covering a complex history of such a small island nation. It's a good read and covers most aspects for those ignorant of the story. The Order obviously gets the most coverage having occupied Malta for the longest. I'd say the 20th Century is light on detail and feels a little rushed. Other than that a solid introduction to a wonderful island.

It was a nice light read... until I got to the British chapters. The amount of bias that the author wrote these chapters with is truly astonishing.

Although interesting, it should have been named 'An Inventory of Malta!'
