On 22 September 1914 between 6.20am & 7.55am three British cruisers went down off the Dutch coast HMS Aboukir Hogue & Cressy. Of the combined crew of 2296 no less than 1459 men perished on their ships or in the sea. There were 837 survivors. The perpetrator was a simple German submarine U-9. This event in the early days of the First World War came as a big boost to the Germans. But for the British it was a dire blow the biggest loss ever inflicted on the Royal Navy hitherto deemed invincible. The suffering was the more grievous now that among the fatalities were thirteen young boys aged 15 & 16 while most of the other victims were reservists mainly young family fathers from a few villages in the Chatham area. After some years of research the author has written a uniquely accessible reconstruction of this tragedy. Successively he pictures the build-up to this calamity the crew's trials & tribulations as well as the consequences of the incident from both a British & a German point of view. The hard times of the crewmembers had to go through are reflected in the personal accounts of some of the survivors of the catastrophe.

That too is part of this pitiful tragedy which though almost forgotten was one of the largest calamities ever in the history of naval warfare. ...

The relationship between those who wield power & those whose job it is to tell us what they are doing has always been fraught with tension. Politicians now expect to be on camera & facing aggressive questions from the moment they open their front door to the moment they return home at night. Everything they say & do is instantly broadcast & dissected on 24-hour news channels blogs & Twitter. It was not always this way. Live from Downing Street" takes us on an absorbing journey through the hard-fought battles for the right to tell the public about the decisions taken on their behalf.

We follow the fluctuations of the power struggle from Walpole to modern times dwelling in fascinating detail on those who fought back
- Churchill Wilson Thatcher & Blair. At the same time we learn of the emergence of the equally charismatic key players from radio & television: the Dimblebys Day Frost Walden Paxman & Humphrys.
