Crécy: Men-At-Arms, by Richard Foreman
A cracking good read, without compromising on historical fact.
Most historians, including this reviewer, are wary of reading historical fiction. The danger is in overlap. Did one get one’s view of life in the Georgian navy from Admiralty records, or from the pages of Patrick O’Brien? Similarly has one’s opinion of Marshal Marmont...

Walk Right Back: The Everly Brothers’ Story
"We owe the Everly Brothers everything. They started it all." Bob Dylan.
If only Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner could sing from the same song sheet with such harmony. Long before the Gallaghers, the Everly Brothers knew how to do number one records, drugs, tantrums and comebacks. Phil and Don Everly were one of the first and most...
