Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Malta is a country with a vast history. Its location in the Mediterranean Sea has positioned it to benefit powers such as Phoenicia, Rome, France, and Britain over the centuries. It was a vital player in World War II and experienced a period of reconstruction following that war. Today, it is a country with its own personality and picturesque views. This book explores the nation of Malta, touching on its past as well as its place in contemporary world politics, while providing readers the opportunity to understand the country's celebrations, beliefs, lifestyle, government, and more.
