My history of Turkey’s intervention in Cyprus over the summer of 1974, (‘Cyprus 1974, No Control, No Conspiracy’) is out now with Pen and Sword https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Andrew-Southam/a/6145.

I have started a history of Britain through the prism of extradition, which is a story of medieval battles, pirates, revolutionary Europe, Civil War refugees, Napoleonic spies, escaped enslaved people from the United States and nineteenth century dynamite experts in a gallery of colourful figures and events affecting international affairs across the last millennium.

Alongside this is my early work on Britain’s withdrawal from Malta in the 1970s and its dealings with the remarkable Maltese prime minister Dom Mintoff. If you know anyone – perhaps from the British forces or their families quartered on the island who lived through the experience, please do get in touch. I’d be delighted to include their story.

Other early stage projects include Historical Mysteries, Bronze Age Britain and a history of the cadet forces.
