Description: "This History of the sovereignty of Belize is just the tip of the iceberg. It only deals with one facet of the complete history of Belize.  . . . Completely surrounded by the largest empire of its time, and continuously attacked; sometimes overcome, but never defeated. After each set-back, the Baymen who included all who lived in the settlement rose again to continue pushing its borders to where they are today. . . ."--Preface.
