First published in 1938 this is still the standard history of St. Helena and a most sought after book. Once the hub of the South Atlantic trade routes, and the vital ocean oasis for homeward-bound East Indiaman, its history, punctuated by Napoleon's brief exile, is a fascinating saga of fortitudes, follies, and frustrations. Philip Gosse's carefully researched and sympathetic history, usefully updated by Trevor Hearl's introduction, is a highly readable portrait of this fascinating island and is important in ensuring our understanding of St. Helena as a British community today."
