My aim is to enthuse you about my books and to show you from my articles the variety of my historical interests. I am thrilled to have become a contributor to the New Statesman from 2013 writing a number of lengthy articles . The first was on the enigmatic John Freeman, another on Britain’s one time Fascist leader, whom I knew, Oswald Mosley, and others on CND and the Cuba crisis of the 1960s.
