The Fateful Battle Line, The Great War Journals & Sketches of Captain Henry Ogle MC
During the next four years or so, there will be a flood of books covering aspects of the Great War in its Centenary years. Even the most dedicated enthusiast will be unable to buy every book that is published, not least because of the shelf space involved in building a truly comprehensive library. This book deserves to be in the handful of priority acquisitions. For those who wish to buy one book to provide an insight into the trench warfare of the Western Front, this has to be the book.

Sharing The Secret, a History of the Intelligence Corps 1940-2010
This book is to be commended in producing a down to earth review of one part of the British intelligence apparatus and providing accurate information on a very important area of intelligence. Ending in 2010, and covering the subject from 1940 inevitably means that it is historic but it retains a level of currency.
