Settling the Score
Look behind the scenes of a County Championship match played in the late 1960s, during which the apparently mundane mid-table fixture turns into a story of bitter rivalry and betrayal both on and off the field. Two brothers playing on opposite sides go head to head as rivals for a place on England's winter tour. A night club incident spirals out of control and leads to the discovery of an affair which threatens to destroy team unity and end the career of a formidable but aging bowler. Meanwhile, his young would-be replacement finds himself the center of controversy over his suspect action. The narrative shifts from field to changing room, from night-time escapades to domestic angst in this story of a team with more than the game to lose.

Own Goals
Terrorism, military response and the lessons from history that governments still fail to grasp. This book argues that whilst the overriding purpose of counter-insurgency is political the actual campaign is invariably seen as military. The expense, death and trauma of the military action usually mean that political purposes come a poor second in terms of popular and governmental aims. Rhodesia provided an example of the disastrous consequences of such an approach. Political judgments were invariably based upon popular assessments of the Africans stemming from the beliefs of the Pioneers; in other words they were founded on ignorance. Likewise military strategies and tactics owed much to those established in the 1890s. These are largely seen through the career of Captain Charles Lendy RA, a fan of the machine gun and "shock and awe." His experiences were reflected by the Rhodesian Army in the 1970s and so units who consistently branded themselves as the best anti-terrorist forces in the world lost.
