According to Saunders Lewis the Investiture of 1969 was a turning point in Welsh history. This book tells the story through the voices of the most prominent characters: protesters, journalists and politicians. It tells of the bickering within some of Wales' most prominent institutions, such as the Urdd and Gorsedd, as well as the absurd and intense events leading up to the ceremony in Caernarfon. We read about Cymdeithas yr Iaith rallies, demonstrations by Aberystwyth and Bangor students, dramatic appearances by the FWA, the bombing campaign by Mudiad Amddiffyn Cymru and the suspicious activities of the secret police. This book creates a picture of the turbulent years of the sixties and gives an idea of what it was like to be a part of the battle between Welsh nationalists and the British institution of the time.
Reviews of the original Welsh-language version of this book: "Here we have everything: the lies and the shame, the betrayal and the wounds, the servility and the courage, the pageantry and the presumptuousness" - Lyn Ebenezer; "The glory of this volume us the way it shows the completely seismic effect of the Investiture on Wales. . . All I need to say is, buy it. " - Vaughan Hughes, Barn magazine; "This is an essential volume which looks back and reveals the whole thing in an immediate, gripping style, but which is also a clear handbook on how to deal with similar situations in the future, if we ever see this kind of nonsense again. - Myrddin ap Dafydd, Llafar Gwlad; ". . . A volume which reads like a thriller, and thanks to the author for such an entertaining and comprehensive contribution to our understanding of 1969. " - Tweli Griffiths, Western Mail Weekend
