160pp, HB 150 images 30,000 words £20.00

SEPTEMBER 2019 MARKS 80 YEARS SINCE THE OUTBREAK OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR. Codebreakers and Spies tells the astonishing story of how Britain’s intelligence operatives, experts and special operations teams contributed to the Allies’ victory in the Second World War. The work of the Bletchley Park codebreakers in breaking the German Enigma cipher is estimated to have cut the length of the war by around two years, saving countless lives, while the Double Cross system, in which German secret agents were “turned” by the British to feed their Nazi agent-runners with false information, ensured the success of the D-Day landings.

Michael Smith is an award-winning journalist, former intelligence officer, and an expert on Britain’s secret war.

Marking the 250th anniversary of Napoleon’s birth, and over 200 years since the Hundred Days campaign. Napoleon was a charismatic and astute military leader who built an empire in a series of astounding campaigns from 1796 to 1812, in which he won many of the most famous battles of all time - the Pyramids, Marengo, Austerlitz, Jena, Wagram and Borodino. At the height of his powers he had transformed France’s administrative, educational and legal systems, and most of the continent of Europe was under his control, from Portugal to Moscow. He was eventually brought down by the combined forces of many nations, but his influence on the times was so great that he has come to define a period in history.

Professor Richard Holmes was one of Britain’s most celebrated military historians and the author of numerous bestsellers.

160pp, HB 150 images 40,000 words £25.00

A time of treason, rebellion, exile and intrigue, three generations of Tudors ruled England from 1485 to 1603. These years were some of the most prosperous England had ever seen, and dramatically altered the course of world history. The Tudors delves into the archives of British history to reveal why this period has caught people’s imaginations like no other. Starting with the Tudor dynasty’s inauspicious roots when a courtier named Owen Tudor fell into the lap of Queen Catherine of Valois, this book includes the stories of the much married Henry VIII; the boy king, Edward VI, who attempted to disinherit his two half-sisters in favour of Lady Jane Grey; Mary I, the first female English monarch; and Elizabeth I, the “Virgin Queen”, who launched England into a new age of discovery and innovation. The age also witnessed much progress, with the son of a glove-maker named William Shakespeare becoming the most popular dramatist of his day. At the same time, the flushing toilet was invented and given the seal of approval by Elizabeth I and the first colony in North America was established in 1585. Illustrated with contemporary artworks, photographs and documents The Tudors tells the public and private story of England’s most famous royal family and the people they ruled.

THE BEST OF SHOOT! A CELEBRATION OF 50 YEARS OF BRITAIN’S BEST-LOVED FOOTBALL Carlton Books 978-178739-241-0 August 2019 280 x 216 mm

176pp, HB 150 images 75,000 words as screengrabs £20.00

Shoot! broke new ground as a football magazine when it first hit the shelves in August 1969. It was written for the younger fan, but mixed serious issues with lighter items. Liberally sprinkled with action photographs, some in full colour, it brought football to life and was bought every week by tens of thousands of fans eager to see their heroes in action. For the older reader, The Best of Shoot! brings back fond memories of a time when sideburns and haircuts were long, shorts were short and England’s World Cup victory was a recent event. They’ll recall when a footballer’s favourite meal was steak and chips, he drove a Ford Capri and his biggest dislike was ignorant people. Ah, it was a different world back then! For younger readers, this will be a history lesson, proof positive that their father’s heroes really did exist - and they were quite good too.

Adrian Besley is the author of humorous books and football books including the best-selling Superstars of the World Cup 2006 and Mohamed Salah: The Ultimate Fan Guide.
