The Honourable Company
A History of the English East India Company
John Keay
'The first accessible narrative history of the English East India Company which has appeared for some time . . . Keay recounts his story with the sweep of a James Michener, but one anchored in the meticulous scholarship of historians . . . Commercial successes and failures, battles and politics from Table Bay to Tokyo Bay are treated with verve and clarity.'
Christopher Bayly, The Observer
Over two centuries, the East India Company grew from a loose association of Eliz.abethan tradesmen into 'the Grandest Society of Merchants in the Universe' -a huge commercial enterprise which controlled half the world's trade and also administered an embryonic empire. A tenth of the British exchequer's total revenue derived from customs receipts on the Company's UK imports; its armed forces exceeded those of most sovereign states. Without it there would have been no British India and no British Empire.

Secret Channels
The Inside Story of Arab-Israeli Peace Negotiations
Mohamed Heikal
'One of the most devastatingly brilliant historical analyses of the Arab-Israeli struggle that now exists. Unforgettable ... astonish-ingly candid in telling us the real story of what happened. Better one Heikal book than hundreds of"expert" treatises on the Middle East' EDWARD SAID, Observer
The 'Oslo agreement' of September 1993 focused the world's attention on clandestine talks between Israeli and Arab representa-tives. Yet, as Secret Channels makes clear, such contacts are not a recent development. The Arab masses' implacable opposition to any dealings with Israel has always made secrecy imperative, and Arab leaders have met violent deaths because talking to Israel was regarded as treachery, a breach of a cause made sacred by the suffering of the Palestinians in 1948.
Mohamed Heikal examines for the first time the history of covert Middle Eastern negotiations, and illuminates Arab attitudes which have often seemed baffling to the outside world. Why did,President Nasser, the greatest of Arab nationalist leaders, secretly encourage King Hussein of Jordan to reach an agreement with Israel? What lay behind Vasser Arafat's decision to back Saddam Hussein after his invasion of Kuwait? Why did Arafat settle for terms with Israel in 1993 that were no better than those on offer many years earlier, and why were Islamic,.militants determined to wreck that agree-ment?
Heikal's perspective is that of a true insider, personally acquainted with most Arab leaders, and at times directly involved in their deci-sion-making processes. In Secret Channels he poses disturbing ques-tions about recent accords, and demonstrates that, far from moving towards understanding, Israel and the Palestinians may be on course for further collisions .
