Empire Without End
A powerful and important reckoning with Britain's imperial legacy and contemporary systemic racism'A richly told history of Empire from which we cannot turn away' AFUA HIRSCH'I’d have loved to have read such a book when I was a schoolboy' COLIN GRANTFrom the 1500s to the mid-twentieth century, the events that took place in the Caribbean – from conquest, colonisation and capitalism to racial slavery, revolution and migration – and the people who forged them played a seminal role in creating modern Britain and the Anglophone Caribbean. By the 1960s, Western global empires had begun to crumble. Yet the British Empire in the Caribbean did not end. Instead, colonialism was replaced with a new type of power whose impact can still be felt: neo-colonialism. Empire Without End offers a new interpretation of the British Empire, its enduring entanglement with the Anglophone Caribbean and the longevity of systemic racism. Taking a longer historical perspective starting in the period of European contact with the Caribbean and ending today, Imaobong Umoren looks at the impact and legacies of racial slavery to explore how later linked histories relating to capitalism, class, labour, war, political economy, poverty, gender and culture are crucial to telling the full story. In doing so, she sets out a compelling strategy to define our roles and responsibilities in challenging the legacy of colonialism and hierarchy – a legacy that continues to blight our society and our politics.
Three Revolutions
The gripping, untold story of how six epic journeys launched the three communist revolutions that changed world history forever.
From the streets of Petrograd during the heady autumn of 1917, to Mao's stunning victory in October 1949, and Fidel's triumphant arrival in Havana, in January 1959, the history of the twentieth century was transformed in dramatic and profound ways by the Russian, Chinese, and Cuban revolutions.
In Three Revolutions, the stories of these epoch-defining events are told together for the first time. At the heart of each revolution was an epic journey: Lenin's 1917 return to Russia from exile in Switzerland; Mao's 'Long March' of 1934-35, covering some 6,000 miles across China; and Fidel Castro's return to Cuba in 1956 following his exile in Mexico. Told in tandem with these are the corresponding journeys of three extraordinary journalists - John Reed, Edgar Snow and Herbert L. Matthews - whose electric testimony from the frontlines of each revolution would make a decisive contribution to how these revolutions were understood in the wider world.
Here, in Simon Hall's masterful retelling, these six remarkable journeys are brought vividly to life. Featuring a stellar cast, extraordinary drama and an epic sweep, Three Revolutions raises fundamental questions about the nature of political power, the limits of idealism and the role of the journalist - questions that remain of utmost urgency today.
The Trouble With Europe
'I recommend our diplomats and ministers read this book: it will provide them with an intellectual backbone. On the big calls [Bootle] has a spectacularly good record.' - The Sunday Times'Bootle is right on every count.' - The GuardianThe Extensively Revised 5th Edition of this Highly Acclaimed Book for the 10th Anniversary of the Brexit VoteEurope is facing an existential challenge - with a spiralling political, economic and security crisis, amidst geopolitical fracturing on a global scale. The threats facing Europe could hardly be more serious as we live through the most dangerous time in decades. Political turmoil in France and Germany - two of Europe's largest economies - have only heightened Europe's economic problems in the face of intensifying competition with the US, and the volatility of the Russia-Ukraine war. Against this backdrop, The Trouble with Europe delivers a timely, extensive assessment of where Europe stands - and where it may be heading next. In this newly updated edition, leading economist and Telegraph columnist Roger Bootle, who has long maintained that the EU isn't working, argues that it must reform if it is to thrive. Published to mark ten years since the UK's Brexit referendum, the book provides a clear-eyed evaluation of Brexit's gains and losses, asking why the benefits have fallen short of expectations and where real opportunities still lie. Bootle combines sharp economic analysis with political insight, examining the EU's history, purpose and structural flaws. He explores the future of the Euro, the economic pressures facing member states, and the growing tensions between national sovereignty and deeper integration as many European leaders are being forced to choose between climate, economic and foreign policy goals. With coverage of the Russia-Ukraine war and its implications for the EU, and the tensions in Poland and Hungary, this edition brings the debate fully up to date. Crucially, the book looks forward. Can the EU reform itself? Is 'more Europe' the answer? What are the consequences of an EU break up? And could a looser, concentric-circle model offer a new path, including a role for the U? rovocative, authoritative and essential reading, The Trouble with Europe is indispensable for anyone who wants to understand Europe's future - and Britain's place within it.
V-Force
'Impressive... Glancey has written an engaging and affectionate account of the V-bombers, not least the figures who made it all possible.' TelegraphTHE THREE VERY DIFFERENT models of V class bomber comprising Britain's strategic nuclear strike force - Vickers Valiant, Avro Vulcan and Handley Page Victor - marked a radical change in post-war bomber design. From the time they first entered service between 1955 and 1957, these charismatic, high-flying jets stole the public imagination. Theirs, though, was a terrible beauty. In 1956, over the South Australian desert, Valiant WZ366 was the first British aircraft to drop an operational atomic bomb. The V-bombers were Britain's premier Cold War aircraft. But frictions in Anglo-American relations alongsidedevelopments in radar and surface-to-air missiles led to the Royal Navy taking over Britain's nuclear deterrent role in 1968. Despite this, the V-bombers enjoyed a second life in conventional roles, most notably when Vulcans undertook the longest bombing raids in history in the 1982 Falklands War. V-Force sets these formidable, haunting aircraft in the story of the development of twentieth-century weapons of mass destruction, military rivalries and international politics. It is both an extraordinary ode to the V-bombers and a unique lens through which to view Britain's Cold War experience.
The Most Interesting Book in the World
'Charming, hilarious, and guaranteed to make you the most interesting person at any party. Or the most annoying' - Adam Rutherford‘Weird and wonderful facts you didn’t know you needed. Full of quirky nuggets of information and trivia’ - Sun‘Joyously bizarre facts in a new book from a QI brainbox’ - Daily MailDrawn from a former BBC QI Elf's lifetime’s search for the weird and the wonderful, The Most Interesting Book in The World is a miscellany of things too strange to be true, yet somehow are. This remarkable treasury of tales and trivia will whisk you on a jaw-dropping journey through time and space, stopping off to marvel at only the obscure, the startling and the straight-up weird. In it, Edward Brooke-Hitching considers questions such as: Why is a cat technically a liquid and a solid? How did nineteenth-century scientists attempt to signal aliens? Why did the Dutch once eat their prime minister? Nowhere else will you find woven together the stories of the religious leader who attempted to build a robot messiah from a dining table, the anti-gravity ‘air-walkers’ of Victorian London, and the pirates who rode sheep; or practical advice for correctly exorcising a house and casting ancient love spells, along with recent scientific discoveries like the mould that can navigate a maze and that humans can glow in the dark. A unique hybrid of encyclopaedia, trivia and drunken-bar raconteur, all stitched together in one colossal Frankenstein volume packed full of images and photographs - this is the ultimate must-read for anyone looking to tickle the cortex of their curiosity.
All Roads Lead to Rome
'Brilliant. A fresh and highly engaging look at how Rome still shapes the world today.' Jonn Elledge'This book will change the way you think about world history.' Raphael Cormack'Authoritative and engaging.' Subhadra Das'A fascinating and entertaining analysis of how Rome’s propaganda has colonized our collective imaginations.'Eleanor Janega'Eloquent, well-researched and witty.' David M. PerryHow many times a day do you think about the Roman Empire? The general consensus seems to be an awful lot. All Roads Lead to Rome explains why.

Whether you’re interested in history, contemporary global issues or simply curious about why Rome remains relevant, this book offers a fresh perspective on the lasting significance of one of history’s most famous civilisations. Dive into the history of Rome and its pervasive influence and gain a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the global landscape today.
The Twitnam Summer
'A rollicking, brilliant book' GARETH RUSSELL 'Hugely enjoyable' SUNDAY TIMES A rollicking narrative history set during the extraordinary summer of 1726 when Jonathan Swift arrived in London from Dublin, with a draft of Gulliver’s Travels in his bag. Jonathan Swift settled into his great friend Alexander Pope’s new house on the river at Twickenham (or Twitnam as they liked to call it), and joined by John Gay, the trio of Scriblerus Club writers spent a delightful and creative summer, pushing each other to new satirical heights (The Dunciad and The Beggar’s Opera also ensued), exploring the gardens and houses of their aristocratic friends and thinking up ways to torment Robert Walpole’s corrupt Whig administration without going to jail. An unlikely threesome in many ways – Swift was 20 years older, and Gay was as large and indolent as Pope was tiny and restless – “the three Yahoos of Twittenham” were unmarried and took great emotional and intellectual succour from their friendship. The three of them added up to more than the sum of their considerable parts and, as well as being a brilliant evocation of the radical rage, the joy and stench of early eighteenth century life, The Twitnam Summer is also a very moving portrait of male friendship.
London's Record Shops
A Notting Hill Carnival city. A rock city. A rave city. A reggae city. A city of deep soul and funky jazz.

From Brixton dub shacks and Hackney vinyl boutiques to Camden’s rockabilly ravers and Soho's feted jazz and dance shops, through Rough Trade and Honest Jon's to Sound of the Universe – these brilliant (sometimes eccentric, always engaging) emporiums are documented with striking photographs and incisive interviews. Anyone who loves music and/or London will find this book engaging and informative.
Észrevétlen függőségeink
Az Észrevétlen függőségeink húsba vágó történetek gyűjteménye. Embereké, akik eljutottak oda, ahol már nincs tovább: ahol a test felmondja a szolgálatot, és a halál nem elvont fogalom, hanem reális lehetőség. A kötet azonban nem ragad le a szélsőséges élethelyzetek bemutatásánál. Nem minden függőség látványos, és nem mind rombol hangosan: van, amelyik csendben épül be a mindennapokba. Sokan évek óta,,jól funkcionáló" függőként élnek: dolgoznak, gyereket nevelnek, látszólag rendezett az életük. Rácz Laura Rebecca több tucat mélyinterjún és szakértői beszélgetésen keresztül rajzolja fel a függőség ezernyi arcát: a szégyent, a tagadást, a mélypontokat. A megszólalók között aktív és felépülő függők, valamint hozzátartozók mesélnek veszteségről, visszaesésről és felismerésekről. A könyvben olyan emberek történetei olvashatók, akik életük egy pontján munka-, szex-, szerelem-, pornó-, testedzés-, versenyzés-, szerencsejáték-, alkohol-, kábítószer- vagy gyógyszerfüggőséggel, valamint étkezési zavarokkal vagy kodependenciával küzdöttek. A kötet nem áll meg a mélypontnál, hanem megmutatja a felépülés törékeny, mégis reményteli útját is. Az interjúalanyok őszintén beszélnek arról, mit jelent együtt élni a sóvárgással, hogyan válik a józanság napi munkává, és miként lehet a pusztító függőséget kapcsolódássá, alkotóerővé vagy akár szolgálattá alakítani. A személyes történeteket szakértői megszólalások egészítik ki, amelyek segítenek tágabb összefüggésbe helyezni a hallottakat. A könyv az érintettek és hozzátartozóik mellett szól azoknak is, akik szeretnének árnyaltabban, empatikusabban gondolkodni a függőség és a szerhasználat témájáról, ami napjainkban komoly társadalmi problémává nőtte ki magát, és amivel kapcsolatban mindannyiunknak van valamilyen tapasztalata.

A Bright Cold Day
A pioneering biography of George Orwell told through moments of everyday life
When we think about Orwell, we imagine an angular, moustachioed sceptic crouched over a typewriter, who - between puffs on his cigarette - composes effortless streams of prose, unadorned but explosive. We see a man with 'Important Things to Say' about: the slow creep of authoritarianism; the consequences of all-seeing tech; the fragility of truth.
Much less often do we see him as a person caught up in the business of everyday life. And yet Orwell's work thrums with the quotidian: the smell of boiled cabbage, the chill of an unheated flat in early spring, the rumbling of old pipes.
A Bright Cold Day reveals how the principles that govern us begin in the mundane. From waking and showering to breakfast, work, lunch, the pub, sleep and dreaming, Orwell was never dulled to the routines of living. And in the details of the day, we can understand how power, money, freedom and choice play out, not just for Orwell's literary characters, but for us all.

Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Else?
*USA TODAY BESTSELLER* From the bestselling author of Brown Is the New White, an explosive new argument for draining the swamp of white male privilege“Steve Phillips situates our present crisis exactly where it belongs—within the long, unfinished struggle to make real the promise that all are created equal. . . . He reminds us that backlash is not new, but neither is resistance.” —Anna Malaika Tubbs, New York Times bestselling author of Erased and The Three MothersIn a time when equal rights are facing an unparalleled assault, what if we’ve been framing the conversation about racial justice all wrong? Instead of focusing on the underrepresentation of people of color, what if we examined the overrepresentation of white me? uilding on the urgency and clarity of his New York Times and Washington Post bestseller Brown Is the New White and his “spirited and persuasive” (Publishers Weekly) How We Win the Civil War, these questions drive the explosive premise of author Steve Phillips’s latest book, Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Els? ust six years after the racial reckoning that followed the murder of George Floyd, we are witnessing a full-scale assault on equality in America unparalleled since the overthrow of Reconstruction. With the critical 2026 midterms approaching and DEI initiatives under attack nationwide, Phillips’s work is more relevant than ever. He moves beyond defensive measures to offer a powerful offensive strategy. The book introduces the concept of “Straight White American Male Preference” (S.W.A.M.P.) and systematically dismantles the myth of reverse racism. Through twelve sharp, deeply researched chapters, Phillips reveals how this preference has shaped everything from corporate America and philanthropy to arts and government, creating systemic advantages for white men, who make up a minority (29 percent) of the U.S. population. This isn’t just another book about inequality; it’s a playbook for a counterattack. Fearless and timely, this much-needed corrective offers equality-loving readers the arguments, data, and inspiration they need to challenge the status quo effectively.
Rule of Lies
An American lawyer's brilliant, propulsive story of witnessing and playing a part in the transformation of Russia under Yeltsin and Putin. A true tale of fascinating personalities, criminal intrigue, harrowing situations, audacious actions and international politics that combines Bill Browder's Red Notice with Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker.
Raised by his father, a multimillionaire conman and crack addict who owned Manhattan's most expensive brothel, twenty-four-year-old Jamison R. Firestone decided to change the channel. He graduated from law school in 1991 and sought his fortune in Gorbachev's USSR, establishing Russia's first independent foreign law firm.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, Jamison lived in the maelstrom that was Russia, defending himself and his clients from mafia attacks, dealing with corrupt police officers, having his law office raided by armed commandos, and once having to bug the offices of the Russian police.
Jamison was at the centre of some of Russia's most important events. He employed Sergei Magnitsky who was murdered for uncovering the largest tax theft in Russian history and teamed up with Bill Browder and Alexei Navalny to expose his killers. Along the way he inadvertently taught Navalny to make videos exposing corruption and started a war with the Russian government over passage of the Magnitsky Acts which threatened to sanction Russia's most powerful people.
A real-life story that reads like a spy novel, Rule of Lies goes deep inside contemporary Russia and events that have reshaped the globe. Darkly comic, sometimes horrifying and deeply moving, it is a chilling warning of what can happen when a nascent democracy succumbs to one man's corrupt iron rule, becoming not only an authoritarian nation but a profoundly criminal one-a true mafia state.
This Way Up
The debut book from the YouTube sensation and all-round cartographical nerds, The Map Men!
Hello, we're the Map Men, and in the following pages we've selected what we believe to be some of the very best wrong maps. Some of them are decades old, some are centuries old and some are so recent they're being published today (or yesterday, if you're reading this tomorrow).
They include world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. Whether you're an avid map junkie or simply 'map-curious', you will uncover a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour in each chapter, as we attempt to answer the question: 'What on earth happened here?'
So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out on a journey with us, the Map Men, into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps.
Because the worst maps are the best maps.

Woke Is Dead
Piers Morgan welcomes the return of a common-sense world They claimed it was a movement that would change society forever. Instead, it's been buried six feet under by common sense. For a decade, “woke” infected every corner of our lives. Cancel culture ran riot. Men became toxic. Virtue signalling was everywhere. And if you dared disagree? You'd be terminated on the spot. But then something extraordinary happened. All over the world, people woke up. In this explosive and uproarious takedown, Piers Morgan charts the spectacular collapse of the most ridiculous ideology in human history. With his trademark wit and fearless honesty, he exposes the hypocrites, destroys the myths, and celebrates the heroes who refused to surrender to the woke brigade. Inside, Morgan takes aim at the madness wherever it's hiding and calls out the absurdity with humour, logic, and outrage. He pulls no punches as he tackles: Hollywood hypocrisy – when celebrity virtue-signaling became it's own performance Environ-mentalists – how saving the planet turned into shouting about plastic straws Go Woke, Go Broke – from brand deals to the price of moral posturing Word Police – the battle over language and what you can and can't say And much more But this isn't just about pointing and laughing at the wreckage. With his unique blend of savage humour and surprising wisdom, Morgan offers a roadmap for navigating our post-woke world and a less divided, more sensible society. Woke is Dead is the provocative, hilarious and essential read for anyone who wants to understand how an entire civilisation briefly lost its mind.
An Accidental History of Tudor England
'Brilliant, unpredictable and endlessly fascinating' IAN MORTIMER'I love this book' TRACY BORMAN'Gunn and Gromelski cast a brilliant light into a lost world' SUSAN BRIGDENA unique new window onto Tudor life, told through ordinary people's untimely deaths. How did ordinary people live in Tudor England? This unique history unearths the ways they died to find out. Uncovering thousands of coroners' reports, An Accidental History of Tudor England explores the history of everyday life, and everyday death, in a world far from the intrigues of Hampton Court Palace, Shakespeare's plots and the Spanish Armada. Here, farming, building and travel were dangerous. Fruit trees killed more people than guns, and sheep killed about the same number as coalmines. Men stabbed themselves playing football and women drowned in hundreds fetching water. Going to church had its dangers, especially when it came to bell-ringing, archery practice was perilous and haystacks claimed numerous victims. Restless animals roamed the roads which contained some potholes so deep men could drown, and drown they did. From bear attacks in north Oxford to a bowls-on-ice-incident on the Thames, this book uses a remarkable trove of sources and stories to put common folk back into the big picture of Tudor England, bringing the reality of their world to life as never before.
