In 1945 Britain emerged from war triumphant. On July 26, after Labour won a landslide election victory, Churchill resigned, Attlee became Prime Minister and the nation awaited Labour's 'New Jerusalem' in which poverty, unemployment, ill health and poor housing would be abolished. However Correlli Barnett - drawing on material from Cabinet and other Whitehall records - argues that what followed was an era of mistaken strategies and costly consequences. 'An almost irresistible indictment of post-war thinking delivered with Barnett's customary panache and argumentative power.' Martin Kettle, Guardian 'Wonderfully readable... Barnett excels at the exploding of myths.' Toby Buchan, Literary Review

The Lost Victory perfectly captures the cultural essence of 1942 and the urgency of this colourful and moving pageant of a nation about to throw off the yoke of foreign rule. Essentially, it is the story of Buta Singh, a shrewd and wily official working with the British, and of Sher Singh, his vain and ambitious son driven to rebellion against the foreign master. It is also the story of the women of the family-Champak, Sher's beautiful wife, her wild passions bursting the bonds of century-old prohibitions, and Sabhrai, Sher's mother, whose matriarchal strength sustains the family in its time of crisis. What happens to this family when a brutal and senseless murder sets father against son, wife against husband, is told against the background of an India torn by religious tension and fraternal strife.

Anyone who has studied the over 30-year-old Sri Lankan conflict with detachment will perhaps agree that not other phrase can define the Prabhakaran conundrum better than "Lost Victory". He had almost succeeded in his goal of getting a Tamil Eelam with most of his conditions agreed to by the Sri Lankan Government.

All previous published accounts of Operation Market Garden end the main story with the evacuation of the British airborne troops from Oosterbeek which obscures the fact that Operation Market Garden at that time was still to be regarded as essentially a great success. It was only due to the following development of events (including the battle at Overloon in October 1944) that meant that the strategic success of Operation Market Garden could not be utilized to end the war before the turn of the year 1944. This is a story that has never been told before, and which is described and analysed in detail in the concluding Volume 2 of Christer Bergströms Arnhem 1944.

Who is to control South Africa; the British imperialists or the Boer farmers? Neither will compromise. The farmers determine upon a pre-emptive strike to seize the British colonies of Natal and the Cape before their enemy can reinforce and bring to bear his overwhelming military might. Their initial successes stun the world and embarrass and shame Britain. The relief of a besieged Army in Ladysmith becomes an imperial imperative. British honour and military credibility are at stake. Jan, a young farmer from the Transvaal, and Jack, a cotton worker from Lancashire, strike out on paths which bring them together on the top of a blood-stained hill. The battle for Spion Kop proves to be the most desperate and costly of the whole war, and one which both sides believe they have lost. The fight sucks in thousands of participants including Lieutenant Winston Churchill and Sergeant-Major Mohandas Gandhi. At home in Rochdale Mary, Jack's childhood friend and recent lover, anxiously waits for news of his fate. Whilst in Natal Ruth, Jan's fiery and passionate sister, follows the men onto the battlefield inspired by her patriotism and attracted by a handsome American volunteer. British Generals struggle to understand the changing requirements of war, and for some this battle will prove to be their professional nadir with life-changing consequences.
