					<description><![CDATA[In this extraordinary book, historian Tony Insall reveals how some of the most striking achievements of the Norwegian resistance were the detailed reports produced by intelligence agents living in the dangerous conditions of the country's desolate wilderness. A definitive appraisal of Anglo-Norwegian WWII cooperation, 'Secret Alliances' provides remarkable insights into the uniquely close political relationship that afforded powerful assistance for a successful resistance movement. Using previously unpublished archival material from London, Oslo and Moscow, Insall explores how SIS and SOE developed productive links with their Norwegian counterparts - and examines the crucial intelligence from the Security Service and Bletchley Park codebreakers who supported their sabotage operations.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Queen Elizabeth I is dying, James I waiting to accede. But who will thrive, and who will fail, under the new king? Will it be the scholar Francis Bacon, whose brilliant mind is the envy of the court? Or his hated rival Edward Coke, already acclaimed as the greatest lawyer of his generation?

					<description><![CDATA[The United Kingdom, famously, does not have a written constitution. Rather, our political system has been shaped not by revolution, foreign invasion or dictatorship but by a series of principles and conventions that have emerged and been tested, then accepted. But one part of that system has never received any detailed scrutiny: the private office - the small group made up mainly of civil servants who support and advise every minister of the Crown, from the Prime Minister down to the most junior of ministers. Private secretaries inevitably have, by dint of their access to ministers and the Prime Minister, massive influence. However, in recent years, ministerial pressures for a politicised private office have inevitably brought the civil service into conflict with the government. In this book, Alun Evans describes what the private office is and why it matters.]]></description>
