<p>An Anglican monk and a charismatic leader of the anti-Apartheid movement, Trevor Huddleston was a friend and hero to many, including Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo, Walter Sisulu, and Desmond Tutu. His victory over the racist politics of the nationalist government in South Africa transformed the history and politics of an entire continent. Drawing on the extensive private archive of Huddleston's correspondence, speeches and sermons, Robin Denniston examines the political and spiritual life of one of Britain's most controversial heroes. From his life-changing twelve years in the diocese of Johannesburg, his years as bishop of Masasi in the newly independent Tanzania, and his decade as Bishop of Stepney, Huddleston redefined what the Church of England was capable of being.<br></p>

Trevor Huddleston was perhaps the last great missionary to Africa, whose self-discovery in Sophiatown, the largest of Johannesburg's black suburbs, saw him emerge as one of the post-colonial heroes inthe evolution of Arican nationalism When he died in 1998, he was lauded by Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu as South Africa's greatest friend in the darkest days of apartheid. This is not just an account of his great achievements but also a portrait of a deeply religious man whose temperament was often at odds with his vocation.

Churchill's Secret War (Military)

Sutton Publishing+ltd

Robin Denniston has uncovered files of diplomatic intercepts which show that Churchill's role in British foreign policy and war planning was far more significant than had been supposed. Although neither a commander-in-chief nor a head of state, he personally exerted considerable influence on British foreign policy to force Turkey into World War II on the side of the Allies. This study also sheds light on Britain's relations with Turkey. The author discloses a plan to open a second front in the Balkans, from Turkey across the eastern Mediterranean, to hasten D-Day in the west. He also reveals new information on the Cicero spy scandal in 1943 when top secret Foreign Office documents were stolen in Ankara by the British Ambassador's valet, who pased then to the Germans.
