| Abstract: | Only a few months ago Max Farrugia published a thick book of almost 750 pages of text on the internment and exile which martyred a group of Maltese during World War II. Of these internees, locked up for security reasons without charge or trial, 42 were exiled from their homeland on 13 February 1942, in virtue of a law voted in the Council of Government with gleeful satisfaction of their imperialist political opponents. The worst heart of Africa was their destination. The law was pronounced illegal by Malta's highest Court, but the internees were swiftly taken out of Malta before judgement could be delivered.
