One of the masterpieces of classical literature the Histories" describes how a small & quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work Herodotus natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions
- a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; & far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men & gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact & legend the " Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC."

National history is a vital part of national self-definition. Most books on the history of the world try to impose a uniform narrative written usually from a single writers point of view. Histories of Nations" is different: it presents 28 essays written by a leading historian as a self-portrait of his or her native country defining the characteristics that embody its sense of nationhood. The countries have been selected to represent every continent & every type of state large & small & together they make up two-thirds of the worlds population. They range from mature democracies to religious autocracies & one-party states from countries with a venerable history to those who only came into being in the 20th century. In order to get to grips with the national & cultural differences that both enliven & endanger our world we need above all to understand different national viewpoints to read the always engaging & often passionate accounts given in this remarkable & unusual book." ...

This book tells for the first time the story of the dirty war the British fought in Kenya in the run-up to the country's independence in 1964. In 1952 after years of tension & bitterness the grievances of the Gikuyu people of central Kenya exploded into open rebellion. Only 32 European settlers died in the subsequent fighting but more than 1 800 African civilians over 3 000 African police & soldiers & 12 000 Mau Mau rebels were killed. Between 1953 & 1956 Britain sent over a thousand Kenyans to the gallows often on trumped up or non-existent charges. Meanwhile 70 000 people were imprisoned in camps without trial for between two & six years. David Anderson provides a full & convincing account of a war in which all sides behaved badly & therefore few of the combatants can be either fully excused or blamed. These events are still within living memory & eye-witness testimonies provide the backbone of this controversial story. ...
