Like most boys, Jason Blake wants to please his father and older brother. But this erratic father and hyper-competitive brother challenge beyond the norm. To find his way, Jason tries on different roles: schoolyard bully, football player, actor, student. At 20, Jason escapes his Midwest home and seeks independence and adventure: first to Cape Cod, later in Europe. Each adventure takes Jason farther from his father and brother. Each brings him closer to finding himself. When he returns home, the world as he knew it explodes and Jason risks all to protect his mother from his violent father. The dramatic and unforgettable course of events changes this family forever. And they promise to change the reader too.

This book records the actions of those Irish soldiers (and others) who were awarded the Victoria Cross in the event known to the British public in 1857 as 'The Indian Mutiny'. Since then, revisionist historians have applied other names to what occurred: a 'war of independence', 'a revolt', or 'a great rebellion'... none of these are accurate for the events that began in Meerut on Sunday, 10 May 1857: it was a mutiny; when soldiers refused a lawful command, it was a mutiny. Those former members of the Indian regiments were mutineers and those civilians who joined or supported them were rebels... these were the words of the time and, in recounting the activities of the time, these are the words that should be used. It took two and a half years to quell the Mutiny, and more than half the regiments of the British Army would, at some stage, see action - and this involved only the Indian troops in one of three Presidencies. While many regimental records show the names of those men who were wounded, or who died of disease or were killed in action - allowing a total number to be calculated - the overall cost to the native populations of Indian towns and villages can only be guessed at.

A mere two years after achieving independence, South Sudan in 2013 descended into violent civil war, refuting US government claims that the country’s succession was a major foreign policy success and would end endemic conflict. Worse was to follow when the international community declared famine in 2017. In the first book-length study of the South Sudan civil war, John Young draws on his close but critical relationship with the rebel SPLM-IO leadership to reveal the true dynamics of the conflict, and exposes how the South Sudanese state was in crisis long before the outbreak of war. With insider knowledge of the histories and motivations of the rebellion’s chief protagonists, Young argues considerable responsibility for the present state of South Sudan must be laid at the door of the US-led peace process. Linking the role of the international community with the country’s opposition politics, South Sudan’s Civil War is an essential guide to the causes and consequences of the violence that has engulfed one of Africa’s most troubled nations.

'An exciting, engaging and intellectually serious book' Dr Rowan Williams, 104th Archbishop of Canterbury 'I think it's brilliant!'

England in 1817 was a place where many suffered great hardships under a notoriously oppressive government. Life was often brief and brutal. The economy was depressed, unemployment high and the harvest the poorest in living memory. Unscrupulous manufacturers and merchants were destroying a heritage of craftsmanship and replacing it with factories and mills that mass-produced poor quality goods. Women and children worked endless hours for starvation wages while skilled men were unemployed. Petitions from all over the country begged the government to provide relief for the thousands who were unable to earn enough to feed themselves, but these were rejected out of hand. In contrast, the decadence and excess of the court of The Prince Regent provoked widespread disgust. Everywhere there was talk of reform and a mood of rebellion swept across Britain. In the midst of this turmoil, a small dark-haired man was brought to a Derbyshire Inn and introduced to the villagers assembled there as "The Nottingham Captain". He had come to lead them as part of a national rising against the British government. His name was Jeremiah Brandreth and he spoke with charismatic passion and a deep sincerity that awed his listeners, convincing them to embark on a great and dangerous adventure that would change the destiny of all of them forever. His gospel was drawn from the works of Tom Paine and he promised a revolution like that which had founded the United States and overthrown the French monarchy. A few days later several hundred poorly-armed men followed him in attempt to capture Nottingham Castle, an event known today as 'The Pentrich Revolution'. Opposing the rebels was the government of Lord Liverpool, determined to fight to retain the supremacy of the aristocracy. The devious and ruthless Home Secretary, Lord Sidmouth ran a network of secret agents and paid informers and was prepared to use all necessary force to deal with disaffection. Based closely upon the actual events this non-fiction novel tells the almost unknown story of the 1817 Derbyshire Rising from the point of view of the people involved. It is a tale of comradeship and betrayal, principles and politics, demagogues and spies, heroes and villains. In the middle of it all is a man of mystery who refused to talk about his origins or why he embarked upon his wild adventure. Only recently has the identity of "The Nottingham Captain" been established and there is much about his story that remains a matter for speculation. From the cover of the book, sketched by a contemporary journalist, 'The Nottingham Captain' gazes serenely through the fading pages of history. He is the epitome of the enigmatic revolutionary whose courage and fortitude won admiration and respect, even from many of those who opposed him. In 2017 we celebrate the 200th anniversary of The Pentrich revolution, when Derbyshire villagers rose up under the leadership of Jeremiah Brandreth, "The Nottingham Captain". It is time to tell their story.
