In 1967 Major Paddy Bates proclaimed himself ruler of an abandoned Second World War fort in the North Sea. Incorporating many rare photographs and interviews with surviving members of Sealand’s royal family, this book explains how the island nation has fought off the British government and armed mercenaries for half a century, preserving its independence to this day.
