The first full-length study of one of the most controversial figures of later fourteenth century England. Robert de Vere was a close friend of the young King Richard II. He was accused of a wide range of political crimes and private vices by his opponents, the Lords Appellant. Defeated by them at the battle of Radcot Bridge in 1387, he died abroad in exile aged only 30. He was, in the eyes of many contemporaries - most notably the hostile chroniclers Walsingham and Froissart - and modern historians, a typical royal favourite: unmartial, immoral, self-seeking, and promoted and enriched far beyond his just desserts. What was a royal favourite, and what were the accusations made against them? This book investigates this question across late medieval England, and assesses de Vere against contemporary criteria. Based on extensive archival research, this book shows there was more to de Vere than a grasping courtier. He had been Earl of Oxford since the age of nine, heir to a large landed estate, and had twice served in foreign wars. He also made a serious attempt to govern the English lordship in Ireland given to him by Richard. The findings here show him to be a far more rounded and complex figure than previously assumed.

It was fear that got him where he was in the world. Lawrence, escaping the frightening routine of the comfortable life in Manhattan, joins the United Nations peacekeeping mission to Cambodia. In remote Samrong he discovers that the Cambodians, including an opera-singing interpreter with a tragic past, a panhandler-turned-politician with a death wish, and a rebellious band of refugees are only partly responsible for the prevailing turmoil. The real problems are caused by the do-gooding foreigners: a Northern Orthodox priest searching for converts through casinos, a Nigerian general with an eye for illicit business, and Michele Pronk, a knife-wielding Flemish aid worker in constant need of aid. When Michele is abducted, Lawrence and company journey into dangerous Khmer Rouge territory to find her. The harrowing, horrifying and humorous search puts Lawrence's principles to the test and forces him to find his own way through an irrationally dangerous world.

Scattered with moments of tender reflection and episodes of shocking ultra-violence, London RAIN is a story of intrigue, crime and, crucially, trust.

Some said he was a Georgian, others that he was Jewish, or Arab. They said he'd served in Seal Team Six, he was Spetsnaz, he was former IDF, ex SBS, that he was a radical green activist, a former Jihadi gone global, a lone wolf, ex CIA.No one knew for sure.Whatever he was, they said, it was all bad, and everyone wanted him dead.But Mark Barrett knew who he was and what he really looked like, and he wasn't telling.
