From the bestselling author of 'Operation Mincemeat' and 'Colditz' comes 'The Siege: The Remarkable Story of the Greatest SAS Hostage Drama', a compellingly told story of the storming of the Iranian Embassy in 1980, recounting in incredibly suspenseful prose the week-long siege and rescue operation.
Praise for 'The Siege':
Macintyre writes with the diligence and insight of a journalist, and the panache of a born storyteller. - John Banville, The Guardian
The definitive account of what happened . . . so gripping that I literally could not put the book down. - Jack Straw, Independent
Unforgettable - Robert McCrum, Independent
A fresh and gripping read . . . A masterful big-picture narrative, drawing on interviews, news archives and unpublished personal memoirs by those who survived. Macintyre preserves the hostages’ story in magnificent, humane style – and offers another swashbuckling tribute to their rescuers - Colin Freeman, Telegraph
There have been plenty of books written in the aftermath and intervening years, most claiming to be the "true story", but none as exhaustive or gripping as Ben Macintyre's The Siege - Observer

Two deaths thousands of miles apart spell the start of a rollercoaster investigation for Chief Superintendent William Warwick in this propulsive thriller from the master storyteller.
In one of the most luxurious cities on earth, a billion-dollar deal is about to go badly wrong. A lavish night out is about to end in murder. And the British government is about to be plunged into crisis.
Thousands of miles away, in the leafy Berkshire countryside, Lord Hartley, the latest in a line of peers going back over two hundred years, lies dying. But his will triggers an inheritance with explosive consequences. Two deaths. Continents apart. Completely unrelated.
So why are they at the centre of a master criminal's plot for revenge?
And can Scotland Yard’s Chief Superintendent William Warwick uncover the truth before an innocent man's life and legacy are destroyed?

From award-winning food writer Nigel Slater, a lyrical and meditative volume of treasured memories and observations.

A view of snowdrops under the gnarled branches of an oak tree; the first letters on the crisp pages of a new diary; a battered wicker basket of dumplings fresh from the steamer.

Hardback copy of this highly praised novel by Elisabeth Gifford, including a personal dedication to the winning bidder.

Praise for The Mischief Makers:

What a brilliant idea to explore the dramas of Daphne du Maurier's interior life and her struggle to understand her own psyche. Her connection to J.M Barrie creator of Peter Pan and the "lost boys" was crucial while her marriage to Boy Browning triggered emotional dissonance and complications which were mirrored in her books. A fascinating read. - Elizabeth Buchan, author of TWO WOMEN IN ROME
As compelling as any of du Maurier's own works - Sunday Times

Signed copy with personal dedication to the winning bidder (Hardback).

Were the signs that Putin is a ruthless dictator there all along? How should we deal with President Xi of China? Given the world seems to be moving more and more towards authoritarian rule, this is the right moment to seek warnings, and lessons, from history.
In The Dictators, Iain Dale brings together 64 essays by historians, academics, journalists and politicians about elected and unelected dictators, wartime and peacetime dictators, those driven by ideology and those with a reputation for sheer brutality. How did these tyrants, autocrats and despots seize power – and how did they exercise it? And how did they lose it? Very few dictators die peacefully in their own beds, after all.
Only by examining these figures from the 6th century BC to the present, from ancient Greece to present day Saudi Arabia, do patterns start to emerge. We can see the shared character traits, the common conditions, the patterns of behaviour that have enabled dictators to seize power – time and time again.
The Dictators is acutely relevant to world politics today: it is indeed a warning from history. Will we take heed? Or will history, in fact, teach us that history teaches us nothing?

Mary, Queen of Scots & Elizabeth I of England. Two powerful monarchs on a single island. Threatened by voices who believed no woman could govern. Surrounded by sycophants, spies and detractors. Accosted for their dominion, their favour and their bodies. Besieged by secret plots, devastating betrayals and a terrible final act.
Only one queen could survive to rule all.

Praise for The Rival Queens:

It takes a special kind of historian to turn an old story on its head. Eye-opening, provocative, this is the great rivalry re-imagined for the #MeToo generation. - Lucy Worsley

The perfect combination of scholarship and storytelling, meticulous research and emotional insight, Kate Williams brings Mary vividly to life in all her complexities and contradictions. - Kate Mosse, author of The Burning Chambers

Brings us a fresh Mary, set in a gloriously rich context, a tragic heroine - irresistibly real and relevant... There isn’t a line wasted in this taut, dramatic and utterly beguiling biography. - Charles Spencer, author of Killers of the King: The Men Who Dared to Execute Charles I

Scintillating, provocative... An elegant synthesis of royal biography and political thriller. - Daily Telegraph

What makes The Rival Queens special is William’s understanding of how gender shaped Mary’s life. This is a feminist history. - The Times
