Professor Joseph M. Pirotta, who holds a Ph.D. in politics, headed the Department of International Relations in the Faculty of Arts of the University of Malta up to his retirement. Joseph M. Pirotta has a well-established reputation for scholarship, objectivity and an easy flowing style that appeals equally to the academic, to the student of Maltese political history and to those who would like to be properly informed of the events that form part of the Maltese experience under British rule. Joseph M. Pirotta’s major works, the series Fortress Colony: The Final Act 1945-1964, and L-Istorja Kostituzzjonali u l-Isfond Storiku 1800-2004 in two volumes, were published to general acclaim.
