In the 18th Century five men created the biggest industrial city, civilisation had ever seen. They were the Iron Masters, masters of metal and men. Their cannons saved a kingdom, forged the greatest empire in the world and changed the history of the human race. Intrigue, bribery, adultery and murder were common in Merthyr Tydfil, a town where the furnaces burned day and night, the sun seldom pierced the soot filled sky and the Iron Masters ruled without pity. Nye Vaughn, a humble farm boy, walked to Merthyr to find his destiny, unaware that a war was coming which would engulf the known world and make bold men rich. To fight Bonaparte, Britain needed cannons, thousands of them. Vaughn built the largest foundry of them all and made his fortune but, when the world changed, the iron behemoth he constructed turned on him.

This Will Never Happen...

What might life be like in twenty-five to thirty years? If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve seen signs that Christian persecution may be coming. This is the story of Rhys, a young Christian man living twenty-five years from now under totalitarian rule. He was raised in a small town, in a happy Christian household. Rhys’s parents were true believers and true followers of God. They worked diligently to instill that same faith in Rhys from a young age. When Rhys was ten, his parents were taken away to a re-education camp where their “harmful and dangerous” Christian beliefs could be examined. Rhys never saw them again. But he never forgot them. Rhys remembered their lessons and th...

Veteran MPs and Conservative Politics in the Aftermath of the Great War

Between 1918 and 1939, 448 men who performed uniformed service in the First World War became Conservative MPs. This relatively high-profile cohort have been under-explored as a distinct body, yet a study of their experiences of the war and the ways in which they - and the Conservative Party - represented those experiences to the voting public reveals much about the political culture of Interwar Britain and the use of the Great War as political capital. Radicalised ex-servicemen have, thus far, been considered a rather continental phenomenon historiographically. And whilst attitudes to Hitler and Mussolini form part of this analysis, the study also explores why there were fewer such types in Britain. The Conservative Party, it will be shown, played a crucial part in such a process - with British politics serving as a contested space for survivors' interpretations of what the war should mean.
