This is a non-fiction history but it is not a dry account and the author knows his subject and brings it to life. Readers will come to this from a variety of perspectives. For some, the appeal will be simple interest in the subject. For others like myself, it will be more reference. As a journalist and a writer of crime fiction, I have an interest in armed police operations. Whatever the readers' motivation, this is a readable and well laid out account of the Met police firearms unit and one that is sure to not disappoint.

Adventures in Crime Fiction Land

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars Unsolved murders are nothing new in the world. There are some that boggle the imagination, and one wonders how some managed to remain unsolved. In the Unsolved London Murders by Dr. Jonathan Oates, there are twenty cases that have remained unsolved. Although these have happened over 100 years ago, there are some that could be solvable today, if Scotland Yard would reopen the cases. I was intrigued with this book, as unsolved crimes always peak my interest. I was not disappointed! It was amazing and once I started, I could not put the book down! I read it in one sitting! Put this book on your watch list, and get ready for a journey through some of the most puzzling and horrific unsolved murders in London!

Genocide is not something that started and ended with the German Nazis and this book is specially welcome because it looks at more recent genocide through the eyes of a British detective who spent time investigating Bosnian war crimes. The break up of Yugoslavia after the death of Josip Bron Tito was inevitable because the centuries of religious and ethnic division. Once the strong man was gone there was no one to hold the fragile union together. – Very Highly Recommended.

This book is about the tram "Feltham" which is one of the most important trams in Britain. It was designed and built in the early 1930s by Metropolitan Electric Tramways and London United Tramways to replace its old trams. In London they were replaced by trolleybus lines but continued to serve in Leeds and Sunderland. Another great book by tram expert Peter Waller. It has a lot of information and good photographs to get to know this old tram model, which has become an icon. To complete this book, the book "London Transport" by the same author should also be read.
