Keeping Mum
Mum and Dad – Squibs and Bert – were a complete mystery to Brian Thompson as he grew up in Cambridge and London during the 1940s. His mother danced with the Yanks all night and slept under a fake fur coat all day, and when his father bothered to come home he resolutely discouraged Brain in everything. Whilst other children were evacuated out of the big cities, Brian found himself travelling into London, and spent much of the Blitz with an eccentric swarm of indolent, ribald relations. In Keeping Mum Brian Thompson describes a boyhood as rich and mysterious as anything fiction can provide.

Such skills include nurturing curiosity, cultivating sources, speaking in various accents, and contorting your body to fit into any size safe.After reading "How to Be an Investigative Journalist", there is no guarantee you will become one. Scholars debate the matter, but a widely held view is that investigative journalism skill is granted solely by the god God who lives in the city called Heaven. But whether or not this is true, there is no harm in reading this book.
Imperial Vanities
"Imperial Vanities is an adventure story in the high tradition, ranging from the upper Nile to Ceylon, Egypt and the slave markets of the Balkans. Wilful, profoundly eccentric and driven by the sort of idealism we no longer consider an heroic virtue, the lives of these men combine to make a tragi-comic commentary on the most widely-held conviction of their times: that God himself was an Englishman. 'Better a ball in the brain than to flicker out unheeded', Gordon wrote in his journal. Written with Thompson's masterly touch, this is history at its best."--BOOK JACKET.
Loose Canon

The Ombudsman Enterprise and Administrative Justice
The statutory duty of public service ombudsmen (PSO) is to investigate claims of injustice caused by maladministration in the provision of public services. This book examines the modern role of the ombudsman within the overall emerging system of administrative justice and makes recommendations as to how PSO should optimize their potential within the wider administrative justice context. Recent developments are discussed and long standing questions that have yet to be adequately resolved in the ombudsman community are re-evaluated given broader changes in the administrative justice sector. The work balances theory and empirical research conducted in a number of common law countries. Although there has been much debate within the ombudsman community in recent years aimed at developing and improving the practice of ombudsmanry, this work represents a significant advance on current academic understanding of the discipline.

A Corner of Paradise
In 1973, Brian Thompson kissed the impossibly glamorous Elizabeth North for the first time, in a busy supermarket car park along the Leeds ring road. This is the story of the unexpectedly joyous consequences âe" ones to baffle many, not least themselves âe" until her death, aged 78. Both were writers, though they came from opposite ends of the social register âe" she an Admiralâe(tm)s daughter, he the descendant of unruly Cockney eccentrics. She was by nature a solitary, while he was loud, incurably facetious âe" and needy. From a tiny Harrogate terrace, to the deeply un-picturesque French farmhouse where they spent their summers, Brian and Liz battled their way to a heart-rending goodbye in an Oxford hospital ward. In many ways, their partnership was âe~an exercise in asymmetryâe(tm) âe" yet, despite the conflicts, they emerge in this deeply-felt memoir as a couple who were lucky enough to find their corner of paradise in one another.
