The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
In October 1811, a young Sydney lad by the name of William Chamberlain was abducted aboard the Frederick, a whaling ship captained by a madman. For the next four years the boy survived many adventures. He was returned to his family in 1816, but was soon drawn back to a life on the ocean.
The King's Chamberlain
The first full biography of a trusted friend of Henry VIII. William Sandys was an important figure in the Tudor court, and this book is an important contribution to the history of the time. It looks at his contributions to county and court life, as well as military affairs.
Britain and Joseph Chamberlain
First Published in 1985 Britain and Joseph Chamberlain is not simply the first biography of Joseph Chamberlain to be written from a radical standpoint but also an exercise in ‘counter -history’. What difference might it have made if Ireland had been set on the road to self-government in 1886, if the reforms of the 1906 Liberal Government had been enacted before 1890 and if it had fallen to a government of the left to handle the Boers? All these possibilities were ruled out when Chamberlain, in a fit of personal animosity, broke with Gladstone over Home Rule. He probably also thereby removed the last chance of the Labour Party growing out of the Liberal Party instead of competing with it for progressive votes, and so facilitating the Conservative domination of politics between 1922-1940. Professor Balfour on the other hand does not believe that, even if Chamberlain had remained a radical and become Prime Minister, he would have been able to arrest Britain’s slackening growth. This book is an important historical document for scholars of British history.
