In the wake of Brexit, the Commonwealth has been identified as an
important body for future British trade and diplomacy, but few know
what it actually does. How is it organised and what has held it
together for so long? How important is the Queen's role as Head of
the Commonwealth? Most importantly, why has it had such a troubled
recent past, and is it realistic to imagine that its fortunes might
be reversed? In The Empire's New Clothes, Murphy strips away the
gilded self-image of the Commonwealth to reveal an irrelevant
institution afflicted by imperial amnesia. He offers a personal
perspective on this complex and poorly understood institution, and
asks if it can ever escape from the shadow of the British Empire to
become an organisation based on shared values, rather than a shared
history.

Dark networks are the illegal and covert networks (e.g, insurgents,
jihadi groups, or drug cartels) that security and intelligence
analysts must track and identify to be able to disrupt and
dismantle them. This text explains how this can be done by using
the Social Network Analysis (SNA) method. Written in an accessible
manner, it provides an introduction to SNA, presenting tools and
concepts, and showing how SNA can inform the crafting of a wide
array of strategies for the tracking and disrupting of dark
networks.

This book explores the relationship between Conservative party
politics and British colonial policy in tropical Africa during the
unbroken period of Conservative government from 1951 to 1964. Based
particularly on recently released documentary evidence, much of it
never before published, Philip Murphy's study traces the
development of Conservative attitudes towards Britain's role as a
colonial power and describes reactions within the party to the
rapid British withdrawal from Africa following the 1959 General
Election. Making a clear distinction between the Conservative party
and the machinery of government over which Conservative ministers
presided, Dr Murphy examines how the party itself exercised a
direct influence over the struggle for power between competing
interest groups within the African colonies. He assesses the links
between the Conservatives and the so-called 'multi-racial' parties,
intended by Britain to play an important part in political
development in Africa, and the ties between Conservative
politicians and British businessmen active in the continent. Dr
Murphy's analysis makes an important contribution to the debate on
the process of decolonization, highlighting the variety of ways in
which metropolitan party politics could influence the transfer of
power.
In this second evocative anthology Brian Martin tracks down a
colourful group of countryfolk who, in their own words, tell of
their triumphs and trials. From fighting in the trenches to
receiving the long service medal from HM The Queen, these
entertaining characters have met the rich and famous and been party
to great sporting occasions. Above all they have been fired by a
love of the outdoor life. Their observations of nature are second
to none and they share here their remarkable encounters with
wildlife. The collection is illustrated with the keepers'
photographs and letters, as well as specially commissioned colour
paintings and drawings by Philip Murphy.
