This book documents in text and photographs the extraordinary life of a man who was both a Black German and a British Empire national.

Ronald Roberts was born in Germany in 1921. As the son of a Barbadian father and a white mother, Roberts suffered racial persecution in Nazi Germany and spent the Second World War interned in a civilian camp as a British national. After the war, he made a new life for himself working with the British military in occupied Austria and finally settled in a postwar Britain that was barely coming to terms with its own colonial legacy. His experiences along the way are a record of endurance, inventiveness and the stubborn refusal to 'go under' in the face of persistent racism.
