There were few more controversial British politicians of the twentieth-century than Enoch Powell. There were few more brilliant & yet whilst being an MP for thirty-seven years his ministerial career lasted a mere fifteen months. His influence however was enormous not least as a harbinger of Thatcherism. There was much more to him though: he was a Professor of Greek at the age of twenty-five: a brigadier at the age of thirty-two: he was also a poet biblical scholar & devoted family man. The word definitive is hackneyed but in describing this biography it can be used legitimately. Not only was Simon Heffer able to interview Enoch Powell he was also given access to Powells massive private archive. In future anyone who want to study Enoch Powell will start here
- Bruce Anderson Spectator". First published in 1998 this biography has been out of print for a number of years. Demand for it however remains constant & Faber Finds is happy to meet that dem&."

Wednesday 22 January 1879 was one of the most dramatic days in the annals of military history. In the morning a modern British army was swept aside by the onset of a seemingly unstoppable host at Isandlwana. Nearby at a remote border outpost on the Buffalo River a single company of the 24th Regiment & a few dozen recuperating hospital patients were passing another hot monotonous day. News of the disaster across the river came like a bolt from the blue. Retreat was not an option. It seemed certain that the Rorkes Drift detachment would share the terrible fate of their comrades. Colonel Snook brings the insights of a military professional to bear in this strikingly original account. It is an extraordinary tale
- a victory largely achieved by the sheer bloody-mindedness in adversity of the British infantryman fighting at the remarkable odds of over thirty to one. The heroics of all eleven VC winners are recounted in detail & we are offered new insights into how the Zulu attack unfolded & how 150 men achieved their improbable victory. The author describes the remainder of the war from the recovery of the lost Queens Colour of the 24th to the climactic charge of the 17th Lancers at Ulundi. We return to Isandlwana to consider culpability & learn of the often tragic fates of many of the wars participants.
