The Skeptic Isle

Based on a massive array of overlooked primary sources, The Skeptic Isle presents a fast-paced narrative of the British attempt to sell World War II to its citizens. It weaves together government public relations, media reporting, political maneuvering, and the public's response to reinterpret some of the most famous moments of British history, from Chamberlain and appeasement to Churchill's great speeches, from the Battle of Britain to the military campaigns in the Mediterranean and Western Europe, from food rationing to the Beveridge Report.

The Fires of Moloch

A study of the clergymen contributors to the 1917 book, The Church in the Furnace, exploring their approach to ministry before the war; how the war did or did not change them; what they said during the war about how the Church and society needed to change; and how they lived out their lives and ministries after the war.

Driven by the Monsoons

Barry Cunliffe tells the story of trade across the Indian Ocean using the evidence of archaeology and the tales of great travellers, showing how, across thousands of years, humans have been driven by need and the sheer desire to own exotic goods to create and maintain trade routes whatever the difficulties.
