- This 160,000-word, single-authored, book represents an extensive research project. It covers 60 years of international political history, ranging from communist subversion in Eastern Europe to kidnappings in Latin America, from the Northern Ireland “Troubles” to special forces activity in Iraq. The subject covered, although highly significant, remains almost entirely classified. This made research incredibly difficult and time-consuming. The research and analysis is detailed, nuanced and original; it involved stitching together snippets scattered across thousands of records in multiple archives. This also required contextualisation in a vast historiography covering many subjects from Omani dynastic politics to Polish trade unions.
