| "Owain Glyn Dwr is one of the great figures of Welsh and military history Initially a loyal subject of the king of England he reluctantly took up arms against the Crown he had served Once committed to rebellion he proved surprisingly talented at leading rebel troops against a theoretically vastly superior enemy Not solely a warrior he conceived and implemented a strategy which saw his small poorly-equipped forces repeatedly defeat Crown troops and bring down the apparatus of governance in Wales Following these achievements he held native parliaments and established diplomatic contact with surrounding powers This led to a treaty with France after the conclusion of which he welcomed French forces to Welsh soil to campaign with the rebels In brief Owain erected a rebel state and won international recognition Owain's foreign support was fractured by the intrigues of exceptionally talented English diplomats at work in the French court This created an environment which allowed Crown forces to concentrate on defeating the rebellion in WalesAlthough ultimately unsuccessful Owain emerges from the era as a gifted and honourable leader giving the Welsh a figure commonly recalled as a hero"

| "Gaza Under Hamas : From Islamic Democracy to Islamist Governance" |
| "Hamas is designated a terrorist organization by Israel the EU the USA and the UN It has made itself notorious for its violent radicalism and uncompromising rejection of the Jewish state So after its victory in the 2006 elections the world was watching How would Hamas govern? Could an Islamist group without any experience of power - and with an unwavering ideology - manage to deal with day-to-day realities on the ground? Bjorn Brenner investigates what happened after the elections and puts the spotlight on the people over whom Hamas rules rather than on its ideas Lodging with Palestinian families and experiencing their daily encounters with Hamas he offers an intimate perspective of the group as seen through local eyes The book is based on hard-to-secure interviews with a wide range of key political and security figures in the Hamas administration as well as with military commanders and members of the feared Qassam Brigades Brenner has also sought out those that Hamas identifies as local trouble makers the extreme Salafi-Jihadis and members of the now more quiescent mainstream Fatah party led by Mahmoud Abbas The book provides a new interpretation of one of the most powerful forces in the Israel-Palestine arena arguing that the Gazan Islamists carry a potential to be much more flexible and pragmatic than anticipated - if they would think they stand to gain from it Gaza under Hamas investigates the key challenges to Hamas's authority and reveals why and in what ways ideology comes second to power consolidation"

| "The arrival of Charles-Maurice Prince de Talleyrand-Perigord as French ambassador in London in September 1830 was regarded as a great event by the British government Two months earlier the July Revolution in Paris overthrowing the reactionary rule of Charles X had brought the liberal Louis-Philippe to the throne Talleyrand the best-known diplomat in Europe had emerged from retirement at the age of 76 to lend his support to the new monarchy and to confirm its acceptance by the other European powersFew people had aroused more controversy than Talleyrand A former bishop whose love affairs were notorious and a turncoat who had abandoned every master he had served he was widely detested by the French public But he was greeted as a celebrity in London where the July Revolution - foreshadowing Britain's own Reform Bill - had been hugely popular London society had not yet acquired the virtuous tone of the Victorian era The easy-going morals of the Regency had carried on into the reign of William IV and the fact that Talleyrand's niece by marriage the Duchess of Dino 37 years his junior was not only his hostess but reputedly his mistress merely added to theinterest he inducedTalleyrand had arrived in London at a perilous moment Revolution had broken out in Belgium where the Belgians demanded independence from Holland to which they had been forcibly joined in 1815 The autocratic powers of Russia Austria and Prussia threatened war to restore the status quo It was largely thanks to Talleyrand's diplomatic skills and his close collaboration with the British that the creation of Belgium as a constitutional monarchy was peacefully achievedTalleyrand's four years in London were the last and in his own opinion the most important of his diplomatic career Linda Kelly's sparkling narrative brings the period to life providing a fascinating picture of one of Europe's greateststatesmen as he appeared to English eyes"
