Hunangofiant arwr Llanelli, Cymru a'r Llewod, Delme Thomas. Cyrhaeddodd y brig gyda'i glwb, ei wlad a'r Llewod dros gyfnod o 15 mlynedd o chwarae. Daeth ei enw'n adnabyddus ymhob cornel o'r byd rygbi, enw sy'n ennyn parch gan y rhai y bu'n chwarae gyda nhw ac yn eu herbyn. Mae'r parch hwnnw yn cael ei ddangos iddo hyd heddiw.

By the author of the acclaimed In Search of Welshness, this book takes an in-depth look at the state of our nation, at Welsh national identity and at what exactly it is that leads to so many Welsh exiles feeling they need to rediscover their roots and eventually return home. It poses questions that Wales's politicians and leaders need to grapple with.
This book commemorates one of the top ten greatest rugby moments ever, a match on 31 October 1972. The teams and score: Llanelli 9 New Zealand 3. The day's events are recalled by those who were there.
So whose Wales is it? There is a degree of ambiguity that runs through Welsh politics that in turn has hindered discussions of a clear Welsh political identity. Can any one party claim to have done more than any other in the fight for securing and then developing Welsh devolution? The track record of all four main players, Liberal, Labour, Conservative and Plaid Cymru, is looked at, from the time of Queen Victoria to these days of devolution and Yes Cymru.
