Written in response to a report by the former governor of Gibraltar, this book argues that the British territory should remain under civilian control rather than being administered by a military governor. The author, Robert Gardiner, provides a detailed look at the history of the territory and the arguments for and against military rule. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of Gibraltar and its place in the British Empire.
