Non-Fiction Biography
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 overcome prejudice in their
fight for justice.
