Ich habe bereits den Film gesehen und war begeistert. Das Buch ist sehr interessant und nicht nur eine schwarz-weiße Liebesgeschichte sondern schildert auch die politischen Probleme. Sehr zu empfehlen.

This is a clear, readable and indepth study into the deplorable way Seretse Khama and his wife and family were treated by racist, incompetent and unprofessional UK government employees. My reading suggests that if Seretse Khama had not married a white woman he would have more easily and quickly come into his role as the legitimate leader of his country. His crime was to marry for love.I would recommend this book to people who have an interest in the history of Botswana, people who have seen the recent film, those intrigued about why Mme Ramotse constantly speaks highly of Seretse Khama in Alexander McCall Smith's novels about the No 1 Women's Detective Agency and those who want to find out why government employees think it's OK to let their own prejudices and career concerns ruin peoples lives. And of course why the UK government wanted to avoid upsetting racist governments such as South Africa and Rhodesia during the 1950s and 1960s.My major concern is why we had to wait so long for this book! Who had to die first?

I saw the movie, "United Kingdom", and was fascinated by the Khama story. Through archival excerpts from people involved in this saga, Ms. Williams makes this troubling period come alive. She makes plain the motivations of all of the players and humanizes these people. It's an engrossing and troubling tour of history.

Fascinating and carefully researched history of an incredible story. Note that this book is written by a true historian, so it is exhaustively documented. Some readers may find this tedious, but those who like good historical work will appreciate the care and the archival research that went into constructing the definitive treatment of the Seretse Khama story.

The book is better than the movie. However, in both instances the story could have been told better. I enjoyed the read, and learning about a part of history that isn't talked about here in The States.

This is one of the most inspiring and uplifting book that I've read. The story of Seretse and Ruth Khama deserves to be better known. Such dignity in the face of the abject machinations of the British Empire at its most powerful. All the cover-up by Britain, never acknowledging that there was but one issue : pressures exerted by South Africa and Rhodesia because there was a black leader married to a white woman. Besides the racial politics, Seretse Khama has lessons to teach us all in democracy and leadership. Pula, Pula Pula to Botswana for supporting their Khosi and First President. Susan Williams does a great job in bringing this important piece of modern history to us in such a riveting and informative way.Colour Bar: The triumph of Seretse Khama and His Nation
