All-India and Down Under is the story of two dramatic cricket tours. All-India's to England was its last before partition, while the MCC's trip to regain the Ashes saw the war-weary Englishmen struggle. In those early years of peace, the return of cricket was welcome, but the sombre backdrop was the end of Britain's Empire.

The involvement of writers and artists in the Spanish Civil War. What happened to those returning from Spain in the ensuing Second World War. The methods adopted by MI5 in monitoring the lives of British artists and writers.

The Trio tells the story of three war correspondents, two Englishmen and an Australian, all in their 30s, whose friendship was forged during the Second World War.

During the Second World War, British artists produced over 6,000 works of war art, but this is not a book about art, rather the stories of nine courageous war artists who ventured closer to the front line than any others in their profession.
