The aim of my website is to encourage you to buy, even commission, my books and to show you from my articles the variety of my historical interests. I am delighted to report that in 2013/14 I wrote five lengthy articles for the New Statesman so that’s now my usual outlet. The first was on the enigmatic John Freeman, another on Britain’s one time Fascist leader, whom I knew, Oswald Mosley, and the last on CND and the Cuba crisis of the 1960s.
