    Winston Churchill: Painting on the French Riviera
    • When Sir Winston Churchill discovered painting at the age of forty, he reveled in his newfound pastime. He went on to produce more than 550 paintings, over 130 of them of the French Riviera. His fellow artist and Riviera resident Paul Rafferty has tracked down many of the locations Churchill used in Provence, an area the great man so aptly called “paintatious.” Many of these locations are newly discovered, and Churchill’s “fearless impressions” stand alongside them to illustrate how he captured them on canvas.Rafferty became familiar with Churchill’s paintings in 2008 in Provence and was soon fascinated by them. Winston Churchill: Painting on the French Riviera is Rafferty’s record and exploration of the people and places Churchill captured in his art.

      Command and Control: The Sociotechnical Perspective
    • For years London gangster Guy Stanton operated at the top of the drugs trade, moving huge shipments around the world. Yet all along he was living a perilous double life - 'Stanton' was the fake identity of a covert investigator in deep infiltration as part of Britain's most secret undercover unit. Their clandestine exploits have never been revealed - until now. The Betrayer is the authentic account of a ground-breaking assault on the world's most brutal narcos and of the courage, camaraderie (and humour) of the men and women who took the War on Drugs deep into the heart of the enemy.
