The Dead will Arise
The Dead Will Arise tells the story of Nongqawuse, the young Xhosa girl whose prophecy of the resurrection of the dead lured an entire people to death by starvation. The Great Cattle-Killing of 1856-57, which she initiated, is one of the most extraordinary and misunderstood events in South Africa's history. Jeff Peires was the first historian to draw on all available sources, from oral tradition and obscure Xhosa texts to the private letters and secret reports of police informers and colonial officials, and the original edition of The Dead Will Arise won the 1989 Alan Paton Sunday Times award for non-fiction.

Murder Under Trust
"Murder Under Trust is the first biography of Sir Lachlan Mor Maclean of Duart, the 'Great Maclean', a larger-than-life figure who dominated the western seaboard of Highland Scotland from 1578 until his death in 1598." "Lachlan Mor's story is based mainly on the reports of spies working for Queen Elizabeth I of England and Philip II of Spain. The author also draws on Sir Lachlan's original letters in both Scots and Gaelic to make him a complex three-dimensional figure and not the cardboard cut-out so many of his contemporaries appear to be through lack of evidence." "Murder Under Trust is essential reading for all those interested in the history of the Highlands and Islands and Ulster." --Book Jacket.
