In between winding up Simon Cowell as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent and swimming the channel for Sport Relief, he has also carved out a reputation as one of the most successful children’s authors writing today. His eccentric take on the world is reminiscent of Roald Dahl, that other giant of children’s fiction. It all started back in 2008, when the groundbreaking The Boy in the Dress was published, with illustrations by Quentin Blake. Since then Walliams has sold more than 12 million copies of his books in 46 languages, including Gangsta Granny and Mr Stink. A long way from Ray McCooney, his Mad Scot character in Little Britain (“Yeeees”), or maybe not. Whatever he turns his hand to, Walliams manages to convey a madcap, touching humour that strikes a chord with a wide audience.

But it’s as a military historian that he is probably best known – for 50 years he has been writing fascinating, authoritative works on the major events of the last century, from America, 1968: The Fire This Time (1969) to Bomber Command (1979) to All Hell Let Loose: The World at War, 1939-1945 (2011). His latest book is Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy: 1945- 1975, a searing account of the build-up to and horror of the war that divided America and the world. Hastings spent three years interviewing participants from all sides. For him, the hidden tragedy is that of the Vietnamese, 40 of whom died for every American. TICKETS £10 Meanwhile, back in southern England, Hastings lives just down the road in Hungerford.

  • THE DEATH of BAHA MOUSA the Death of Baha Mousa GERRY SIMPSON*
    THE DEATH OF BAHA MOUSA The Death of Baha Mousa GERRY SIMPSON* [Between March 2003 and September 2004, 100 000 Iraqis are believed to have died as a consequence of the invasion of Iraq on 20 March 2003. Baha Mousa, an Iraqi hotel clerk was one of them. Mr Mousa died in Basra on or around 15 September 2003, after sustaining 93 separate injuries while in the custody of British soldiers belonging to the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment. This think piece is about the law produced and invoked by his death.] CONTENTS I Introduction II Unlawful Conditioning III Common Law Crime IV War Crime V Human Rights Violation VI Baha Mousa How violent Schultz had sounded over the telephone. ‘I want justice,’ he had said. I wonder how many murders have been committed, and how many wars have been fought with that as a slogan … Justice is a thing that is better to give than to receive, but I am sick of giving it … I think it should be a prerogative of the gods.1 I INTRODUCTION On 14 September 2003, in Basra, southern Iraq, a hotel receptionist named Baha Mousa2 was detained by soldiers of the British Army’s Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment. Mousa and several other Iraqis were brought to a detention facility operated by the United Kingdom Armed Forces, and formerly run by Saddam Hussein’s cousin, Ali Hassann al-Majid, better known as ‘Chemical Ali’. Thirty-six hours later, Mr Mousa’s family were informed that Mr Mousa had died during detention. A subsequent post-mortem revealed that he had received 93 separate injuries, including a broken nose and fractured ribs — other prisoners suffered serious kidney damage.3 The reaction (on the part of the military, the legal profession, the media and the British establishment) to this incident tells us a little about the way * Gerry Simpson is a Professor of International Law at the London School of Economics.

I love a good motorcycle trip adventure book and this is ...By James IngramI love a good motorcycle trip adventure book and this is a good one. Lois expresses herself in a way that puts an emphasis on the humor and on the people she meets along the way. The observations of her companions and the locals made the story as rich as the ride itself. My own experience with motorcycle travel has lead me to the belief that itrsquo;s all about the people and Lois rides with an open mind and an open heart expecting the best from people and receiving it, more often that not.
