Description
The Story of Malta is a historical account of the Mediterranean island of Malta, written by Maturin M. Ballou. The book covers the island's history from its earliest known settlements to the present day (circa 1900), delving into the various cultures and civilizations that have left their mark on Malta over the centuries.The book begins with an overview of Malta's geography and natural resources, including its strategic location as a crossroads between Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. From there, Ballou explores the island's prehistoric period, including the mysterious megalithic temples that still stand today.The bulk of the book focuses on Malta's role in the Mediterranean world, from its time as a Phoenician trading post to its status as a Roman colony and a key stronghold during the Crusades. Ballou examines the island's complex relationship with the Knights of St. John, who ruled Malta for over two centuries and left an indelible mark on its culture and architecture.The final chapters of the book cover Malta's more recent history, including its role in World War II as a key Allied base and its eventual independence from British rule in 1964. Throughout the book, Ballou weaves together historical facts, anecdotes, and personal observations to create a vivid and engaging portrait of this fascinating island nation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
