Roger Crowley's Conquerors has glowing review in Sunday Times
13 Sep 2015
The Sunday Times calls Conquerors: How Portugal Seized the Indian Ocean and Forged the First Global Empire ‘ …magnificently rip-roaring history of Portugal’s rise to world empire…Conquerors is a gloriously entertaining read…it reads like an epic, bursting with colour and excitement. Unlike many academics who have written about the age of European expansion, Crowley never wastes a syllable on post-colonial gobbledegook, but just cracks on with the action…Crowley makes a powerful case that it was the Portuguese, not the Spanish (and still less the British), who built the world’s first truly global empire…this prodigiously entertaining book.. http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/culture/books/non_fiction/article1604491.ece

First Amazon review for Stalin's Englishman is 5*
12 Sep 2015
A lovely first Amazon review ‘The book arrived today and I haven’t been able to put it down. Brilliantly crafted with lots of suspense, the many unknowns and unanswered questions about Guy Burgess have finally been revealed in Andrew Lownie’s ground-breaking biography. A must read for everyone who loves a damn good biography but also for readers following general twentieth century history. This colourful and honest portrayal of Burgess makes an important contribution to the public’s enduring fascination with the Cambridge spies and traitors.’
