Summer Holidays

The Summer Holidays are almost upon us, and we would like to wish everyone a happy and safe break. Posts will be a bit sporadic over the next few weeks but hopefully we will be able to send a few reports from the China Trip. If there is anything else that you think deserves coverage, please let us know.

See you in September!

Welcome back!

A great deal of news and comment over the summer holidays to catch up on. From Obama's trials with Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin to the Labour party leadership battle in Politics to celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and Tony Blair's new autobiography in History - there is never a dull moment!
In the coming weeks look out for trouble at the party conferences in the UK and/or the papal visit and the build-up to the mid-term elections in the USA.

Summer reading

On the subject of summer reading... here is an interview with Peter Hennessy about the recent release of his updated version of 'The Secret State: Preparing for the Worst 1945-2010'. It is a great interview with Hennessy who gives a glimpse of his thorough research and analysis together with some great anecdotes. The book is well worth considering for a summer read particularly if you are looking for an issue to mention in your personal statement and you are interested in the Cold War.
Add any books you have found that might be worth a read...

Happy Holidays

The term is nearly at a close and Nonsuch HP wishes all of you a very happy summer holiday. There will be occasional blog entries so keep an eye out for those, and if you see, do or read anything interesting please let us know by leaving a comment under this article. See you in September!
