Within three decades of the end of the
Second World War, the once mighty British
Empire had been dismantled leaving only a
few residual spots of red on the world map.
This was the age of de-colonisation and
Independence. Trespassers Forgiven offers
a personal glimpse into the history of
British Honduras (Belize) at this crucial
period in British history.
C.H.Godden examines the long road Belize
travelled to eventual independence in
1981
after more than a century as a British
colony. He demonstrates the very real
difficulties the new government faced
and how the country s progression to
independence was considerably delayed
by Guatemala s territorial claim and the
many international complications and
obstacles that followed in its wake.
Charles H. Godden led a long and
interesting career in the Colonial Office
and HM Diplomatic Service, beginning in
1950,
following his military service in the
Second World War. During that time he
served abroad in Belize (formerly British
Honduras) twice. He was also Secretary
to a United Nations Mission to the High
Commission Territories of Southern
Africa, Private Secretary to
FCO
Ministers of State and held positions
in Finland, Jamaica, Haiti and
Anguilla,
from which territory he retired as
Governor in
1984.
He was made CBE
in
1981.
Drawing on the author s personal
experiences at the Colonial Office in the
region at this decisive time, Trespassers
Forgiven illuminates the colony s unique
history and draws attention to the
neglected and almost forgotten story of
Britain s involvement in Central America.
It includes penetrating personal reflections
and recollections which serve as both an
important resource for historians of the
British Empire and of the Caribbean as
well as an enthralling memoir for the
general reader.
