Unpublished documents on events leading to Freedom Day in 1979 will feature in a book due out next week.

The book – Jum il-Ħelsien: Il-mixja lejn il-31 ta’ Marzu tal-1979 (Freedom Day: the road leading to March 31, 1979) – will be launched by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat on Monday to mark the 35th anniversary since the British Forces left Malta.

A spokesman for publishers SKS (Sensiela Kotba Soċjalisti), said the book, researched by historian Mark Camilleri, contained unpublished photos and information from documents at the British national archives and Labour’s internal archives. It will be sold at all major bookstores.
