More When I Know You Better: The Life of Albert Sanguinetti, 1923–2009

By Stuart Wolfendale

It is written from an objective, external viewpoint and paints a colourful and lively picture of Sanguinetti in a voice that could almost be his own. Using Sanguinetti's life experiences, the biographer touches on various historical events, including the Mau Mau revolution in Kenya and the 1957 riots in Hong Kong, and details the social and political problems of the times, such as lingering colonialism, class structure issues, and human rights violations, among others. These glimpses of history through Sanguinetti's eyes are accessible, thought-provoking, and truly representative of the man himself. Offering a well-rounded image of the eccentric subject, this book fulfils Sanguinetti's common response to questions about both his personal and professional life -- " more when I know you better" . It will undoubtedly be of interest to those who knew Sanguinetti as well as legal professionals, young barristers, and readers with an interest in post-war history in Gibraltar, Kenya, and especially Hong Kong.
