Download A Marriage of Inconvenience: The Persecution of Ruth and Seretse Khama AudioBook Free
In 1948, a young white English female, Ruth Williams, made headline news all over the world. For she had met, fallen deeply in love with, and wedded Seretse Khama, an African prince and heir to the chieftainship of an tribe greater than 100,000 people - the Bamangwato. Initially, the marriage was forget about pleasant in Africa than in federal government circles in London. Within a year of the wedding, the young few had provoked an amazing series of situations that had never been discussed. The British federal government was determined to avoid Seretse taking his rightful place at the top of his tribe. The Bamangwato, to their credit, accepted the marriage and welcomed Ruth as their queen. Attlee's Labour federal government embarked on what appeared to be a vendetta against them, robbing Seretse of his birthright and his people of their chief. Along the way, Seretse and Ruth were forcibly separated while she awaited the beginning of their first child. Now having access to Ministerial telegrams and Cupboard documents, the author can tell the entire story.
