At the age of 13, Sandy Kennet meets Clair on the set of a film, where they are paired to work together. During a lunch break, Sandy surprises her with a trifle, a thoughtful gesture her boyfriend neglected to make. This small act of kindness leads to Clair propositioning him to lose their virginity together. Though the unlikely encounter occurs later that evening, circumstances prevent her from returning to London, leaving Sandy with no option but to offer her a place to stay for the night. However, Sandy’s life takes a drastic turn when he discovers by chance that he has been falsely accused of destroying London. As the years go by, various authorities attempt to coerce him into admitting his guilt, even using people close to him to pressure him into confessing. Despite their efforts, Sandy skillfully evades their grasp. In the end, Sandy is faced with his last two enemies in a bizarre confrontation. It becomes clear that his adversaries are not who they appear to be, and the situation is more complex than he could have imagined. How he navigates this final challenge will determine the outcome of his long-standing battle against the forces that have sought to destroy him.

The Royal Navy in the Falklands Conflict and the Gulf War

Culture and Strategy

By: Alastair Finlan

This book suggests that institutional culture can account for a great deal of the activities and rationale of the Royal Navy. War highlights the role of culture in military organizations and as such acts as a spotlight by which this phenomenon can be assessed seperately and then in comparison in order to demonstrate the influence of institutional culture on strategy.

No Place for Chivalry

RAF Night Fighters Defend the East of England Against the German Air Force in Two World Wars

By: Alastair Goodrum

Fly shotgun with the pilots and crews of both sides who fought in the air at night over England during World War I and World War II. In two world wars, a corridor from The Wash to Birmingham was turned into a fierce battleground. The air route from Germany and the occupied countries through this corridor, to targets right across the industrial heartland of England, became a three-dimensional combat zone that proved to be as grim a killing ground by night as anywhere else in the land. No Place for Chivalry encapsulates the story of the air defense of England against attack by night. By taking the area covered by RAF Wittering and Digby sectors, looking at the action of night fighter squadrons operating from those stations and their satellite airfields, the way the battle developed, its timeline of events, the events themselves and the organization of those involved, a coherent picture of how the night air defense of Britain evolved is formed. The narrative is pitched at a level of detail and with such human-interest content that it enables readers not only to grasp what is happening and why but also to feel the tensions, frustrations and euphoria of success that the aircrews felt at the time. The reader gets a view from the cockpit or gun turret, to “meet” and “fly” with the men of both sides who fought in the air at night—men whose moral standards on the ground were above reproach but, when fighting in the night sky, gave no quarter.

Sailors and Traders

A Maritime History of the Pacific Peoples

By: Alastair Couper

Written by a senior scholar and master mariner, Sailors and Traders is the first comprehensive account of the maritime peoples of the Pacific. It focuses on the sailors who led the exploration and settlement of the islands and New Zealand and their seagoing descendants, providing along the way new material and unique observations on traditional and commercial seagoing against the background of major periods in Pacific history. The book begins by detailing the traditions of sailors, a group whose way of life sets them apart. Like all others who live and work at sea, Pacific mariners face the challenges of an often harsh environment, endure separation from their families for months at a time, revere their vessels, and share a singular attitude to risk and death. The period of prehistoric seafaring is discussed using archaeological data, interpretations from interisland exchanges, experimental voyaging, and recent DNA analysis. Sections on the arrival of foreign exploring ships centuries later concentrate on relations between visiting sailors and maritime communities. The more intrusive influx of commercial trading and whaling ships brought new technology, weapons, and differences in the ethics of trade. The successes and failures of Polynesian chiefs who entered trading with European-type ships are recounted as neglected aspects of Pacific history. As foreign-owned commercial ships expanded in the region so did colonialism, which was accompanied by an increase in the number of sailors from metropolitan countries and a decrease in the employment of Pacific islanders on foreign ships. Eventually small-scale island entrepreneurs expanded interisland shipping, and in 1978 the regional Pacific Forum Line was created by newly independent states. This was welcomed as a symbolic return to indigenous Pacific ocean linkages. The book’s final sections detail the life of the modern Pacific seafarer. Most Pacific sailors in the global maritime labor market return home after many months at sea, bringing money, goods, a wider perspective of the world, and sometimes new diseases. Each of these impacts is analyzed, particularly in the case of Kiribati, a major supplier of labor to foreign ships.

Alastair Campbell Diaries: Volume 8

Rise and Fall of the Olympic Spirit, 2010–2015

By: Alastair Campbell

This latest volume of Campbell's acclaimed diaries sees the author, and the country, at a profound crossroads. Brown is finally gone, and Cameron is in the ascendancy – with a little help from the Liberal Democrats. Somehow Campbell must emerge from the ruins and grapple with his own future; just as Britain begins its own journey into austerity and, eventually, to Brexit. Volume 8 contains some of Campbell's most poignant and thought-provoking writing so far and is a must-read for fans of this most accomplished of political diarists.

The Hebridean

By: alastair macleod

The wind was from the sea and the smoke drifted over the links to the land beyond. He had noted the wind. The air never seemed still here. He had learned his bride’s name from Morfor. She was called Mairwen, the fair one. He would soon see. He hoped for some signs of the fairness, for so far she had been so cloaked and covered in feathers that he could not say, except that her eyes were of amber and the lips nicely shaped. Thick dark hair had strewn out below the feathers indicating vigour
