"Churchill's Gambit" is a fascinating account of the unexplained World War II flight of Rudolf Hess to Great Britain in an attempted peace overture between Germany and England. But, was it actually a bold move of deception by Winston Churchill to actually split the German/Russian alliance and gain for England a powerful ally against Adolf Hitler? This thrilling novel explores an explanation, while set upon a backdrop of American and British leaders. A story of WWII drama, intrigue, and romance.

A new centenary history of the infamous Western Front campaign for the Belgian village of Passchendaele fought from 31 July - 10 November 1917.

There is a distinct lack of readily available information about the British prime ministers, especially as a group. There are thick biographies of the big names - Pitt, Gladstone, Churchill - but who were the others? there are plenty of short booklets and pamphlets for all the monarchs but little or nothing on most of the fifty-three PMs. What better way to introduce these individuals than through a short, accurate review of each Prime Minister, briefly describing their background and influence, their role in British history and in major world events. On closer inspection, the PMs are revealed to be more colourful figures than might be imagined, whose unique personalities and individual deeds shaped important historical events. British Prime Ministers offers a handy and accessible guide to all of Britain's heads of government, from Sir Robert Walpole right through to David Cameron, thereby lifting the veil of obscurity from an all-too-neglected cast of characters.

A concise full-colour history of the kings and queens of England.
