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."
