In 1914 Britain was home to at least 10, 000 black Britons, many of African & West Indian heritage. Most of them were loyal to the `mother country` when the First World War broke out. Despite being discouraged from serving in the British Army, men managed to join all branches of the forces, while black communities contributed to the war effort on the home front. By 1918 it is estimated that Britain`s black population had trebled to 30, 000, as many black servicemen who had fought for Britain decided to make it their home. It was far from a happy ending, however, as they & their families often came under attack from white ex-servicemen & civilians increasingly resentful of their presence. With first-hand accounts & original photographs, Black Poppies is the essential guide to the military & civilian wartime experiences of black men & women, from the trenches to the music halls. It is intended as a companion to Stephen Bourne`s previous books published by The History Press: Mother Country: Britain`s Black Community on the Home Front 1939-45 & The Motherland Calls: Britain`s Black Servicemen & Women 1939-45. ...

Already an international hit, a sly, sizzling mystery set in the Italian Alps, the first in a sensational crime series. The dark flanks of the Alps tower over everything. Wind whistles through the fir trees. An expanse of ice & snow with no end in sight. A growing stain. A mess of flesh & blood. A corpse buried six inches under the snow. Enter Rocco Schiavone, Deputy Police Chief & a man who has more beautiful women in his bed than sensible shoes under it. He`s stuck in this backwards Alpine town after getting on the wrong side of the wrong people & longs for the fritto misto, cobbled streets & lucky breaks of his beloved Rome. He hates this place & the provincial locals almost as much as his superiors for their petty rules & for exiling him here. On top of that, he`s got a body to deal with & this mangled corpse is ”a pain in the ass, number 10 on the scale, summa cum laude”... There is blood on the black run & nothing to identify the victim but a tattoo of Luisa Pec, owner of a bar popular with the locals & a pair of blue eyes popular with Rocco. Was it a crime of passion? Or of jealousy? & how are the mafia involved? Rocco Schivone is on the case, the first in a sensational new crime series. ...

Black Sea is at once a homage to an ocean & its shores & an amazingly readable meditation on Eurasian history from the earliest times to the present. It evokes the culture, history & politics of the volatile region which surrounds the Black Sea. Ascherson recalls the world of Herodotus & Aeschylus; Ovid's place of exile on what is now the coast of Romania; the decline & fall of Byzantium; the mysterious fastness of the Chrisian Goths; the Tatar Khanates; the growth of Russian power across the grasslands, & the centuries of war between Ottoman & Russian Empires around the Black Sea; & in our own century the terrors of Stalinism & its fascist enemy, striving for mastery of these endlessly colourful & complex shores. This is a story of Greeks, Scythians, Samatians, Huns, Goths, Turks, Russian & Poles. This is the sea where Europe ended. It is the place where 'barbarism' was born. ...
