‘With his characteristic elegant style imbued with deep historical insight, Tucker-Jones’ Winston Churchill - The Making of a Warlord plunges the reader directly into Churchill’s world, the way he ought to have experienced it.
‘Very few books, other than Churchill’s own masterpieces, have the ability to illustrate so vividly the personal, professional and political vicissitudes of the man that would go on to save Europe.
‘Younger generations won’t fail to be inspired nor their imagination captured; seasoned Churchillians will be spurred on to revisit chapters of Sir Winston’s extraordinary life with renewed curiosity.'

The Scottish Rebellion against Robert the Bruce is a thoughtful, well-argued and engaging study of a neglected conflict. Its value lies not simply in adding another campaign to the story of medieval Scotland, but in asking readers to reconsider the shape of the story itself. Turner shows that the Bruce triumph was not the inevitable victory of a united national cause over foreign aggression. It was also the victory of one Scottish aristocratic faction over another.
For readers interested in medieval Scotland, the Wars of Independence, aristocratic power, exile, dynastic rivalry or the making of national memory, Turner’s book is highly recommended. It brings the Disinherited out of the shadows and restores to them what history too often denied them: not victory, but significance.
