Dancer
‘Spins with virtuosic, charismatic brilliance around a core of wilful mystery’ Guardian________________________Russia in the 1940s. A small boy practises spinning on his mother’s wooden floors, entranced by what he can make his body do. His momentum will propel him far from home; we watch him turn, through the lives of his teachers, his partners on and off stage, through the eyes of doormen and shoemakers, hustlers and nurses, through the rehearsal rooms of Moscow to Parisian opera houses to the streets of New York – ablaze as a comet, his light hot enough to catch and burn. Masterfully blending fact and fiction to give an alternative biography of Rudolph Nureyev’s life, Dancer is not only the story of one of the most important artists in history – but a biography of the twentieth century itself. ‘McCann’s agile, muscular prose creates its own energy and rhythm … He has taken one of the most charismatic characters of the twentieth century and created a bold contemporary novel’ Daily Telegraph‘Remarkable … Does full justice to the tragic story of a dancer who was the glory of his generation’ Sunday Times‘Here is an astonishing book. Colum McCann writes with a ferocious eloquence and a masterly sense of narrative’ Spectator

The Death of Trotsky
THE PULSE-POUNDING TRUE STORY BEHIND THE ASSASSINATION THAT CHANGED THE COURSE OF HISTORY'Elegant, unshowy and gripping in the manner of a dependable le Carré' THE TIMES'The page-turning pace of a thriller . . . A first-class historian' ANDREW ROBERTS'Breathtaking . . . This is lucid, kaleidoscopic history' RORY CARROLL'Gripping . . . Full of treachery, intrigue and betrayal' DAMIEN LEWIS In August 1940, a man walked into Leon Trotsky's study in Mexico City and drove an ice pick into his skull. The killer? Ramón Mercader - an aristocratic Spaniard turned Soviet assassin. The mastermind? Joseph Stalin. But this was no simple hit. It was the climax of a decade-long global hunt: a story of seduction and betrayal, of fake identities and secret loyalties, of idealists and fanatics, lovers and spies. While Trotsky raged in exile - still clinging to his revolutionary dream - Stalin's agents closed in. At the heart of it all was Mercader: a man trained to lie, charm and ultimately to kill. Tracing a path from the cafés of Paris to the battlefields of Spain, from Stalin's Kremlin to a bloodied study in Mexico, The Death of Trotsky unfolds like a spy thriller - a story of obsession and betrayal, of dreams destroyed and loyalties twisted, culminating in one of the most shocking murders of the modern age. 'Hugely compelling' ROGER MOORHOUSE'As good as any thriller' HELEN RAPPAPORT

The Cancelled Prime Minister
A long overdue re-evaluation of the first Labour Prime Minister, Ramsay MacDonald?Ramsay MacDonald was born and brought up in the county of Moray in north-east Scotland, the illegitimate son of a ploughman. When he left school at the age of fourteen he seemed bound to follow in his father’s footsteps. Instead he would be Prime Minister of Great Britain, the first Labour Prime Minister, a friend of his sovereign, George V, a world star on the stage of international diplomacy.How did he get there from his Highland bothy and why is he now forgotten, blanked out of political memory? The Cancelled Prime Minister answers that question. It also exonerates this man of the left from the charge that he went on to lead the Conservative-dominated National Government for reasons of treacherous ambition.While MacDonald’s was a political life, it was also a personal and poignant odyssey, undertaken for half its span beneath the weight of undying grief over the loss of a wife who died young. Similarly, this biography is more than a political one. MacDonald’s was an elusive, Celtic personality and it has been easier to criticise him than to understand him. Making extensive use of MacDonald’s private diaries, Walter Reid reveals for the first time the full essence of a complex individual, a man not without faults, but able and honourable and with deep and widespread interests.History has been unkind to MacDonald. It has been written in general from political standpoints hostile to him. Reid’s book is not uncritical but it reveals the true importance of this hugely significant figure, whose detractors have sought to eliminate him from the record of his century.
