Colonial Immigrants in a British City (1979) analyses the
relationship between West Indian and Asian immigrants and the class
structure of a British city. Based on a four-year research project
in the Handsworth area of Birmingham, the book is a study of race
and community relations - political, social, economic and personal
- in a major centre of immigrant settlement. It considers the
relationship between housing class and class formations and
consciousness in other sectors of allocation, such as employment
and education. It includes a consideration of the changing
political climate on race relations between 1950 and 1976.

This book makes a forthright case for a shift in policy focus from
'community cohesion' to the broader notion of social cohesion, and
is distinctive and innovative in its focus on evaluation. It
constitutes an extremely valuable source both for practitioners
involved in social cohesion interventions and for researchers and
students studying theory-based evaluation and the policy areas
highlighted (housing, intergenerational issues, the recession,
education, communications, community development).
Peter Ratcliffe served in the SAS for twenty-five years. Blooded in
Oman in the 1970s, he also saw action in Northern Ireland, in the
Falklands War, and in the Gulf campaign. From his early days in the
Paras to his time as Regimental Sergeant-Major in the Gulf, he has
lived and fought by the motto 'Who Dares Wins'. Eye of the Storm is
his insider's account of that exceptional career. Fastpaced,
earthy, dramatic, funny, occasionally disturbing, it is laced with
firsthand descriptions of ferocious and bloody fighting, sudden
death and incredible heroism, and peopled with a cast of
extraordinary individuals. Beyond that, however, it corrects many
of the distortions and exaggerations of other books, and explodes
several long-standing myths about the Regiment. Here - at last - is
the authentic voice of the SAS.
