It is 1260 BC: after ten long years, the Trojan War is coming to an end. This gripping historical novel tells the story of the final months of the Trojan War from the perspectives of Achilles, Hector and Agamemnon. During the turmoil of war a Trojan soldier, Halius, rises through the ranks of the Trojan army.Ostensibly, the war is between the Greeks and the Trojans, but the participants are aware that they are being manipulated by Pharaoh Ramses II (Zeus) of Egypt. Despite knowing this, Agamemnon wants Troy for himself, Hector wants Troy for his family and for honour, whilst Achilles wants Troy for power. Whilst this two-part novel stands alone, it is also part of a two-novel series titled 'The Trojan Chronicles' which closely follows the plot of Homer's 'Iliad', taking the reader on a journey back in time over three thousand years.

The Trojan War: a war that tore apart the Ancient World, a war that lasted ten years, a war that we still remember over three thousand years later. This fascinating historical novel tells the story of the final months of the Trojan War from the perspective of the Ancient Egyptian Royal Family. Helen struggles to play her role as a figurehead of Troy whilst her father, Pharaoh Ramses II of Egypt (Zeus), manipulates his court, his conniving family, the Greeks and the Trojans to bring the war to a successful conclusion - one that is in Egypt's interests. The finale provides a startling interpretation of how the famous Trojan Horse could have been used to take Troy.

The trial and imprisonment of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti and the resulting press coverage catapulted the two immigrant anarchists from the margins of obscurity to international celebrity in 1926 and 1927. This study examines this press coverage and the political movement that set the tone for one of the 20th century's most debated and least understood political causes. Neville argues that, while casting about for a case to champion in 1926, the Comintern of the USSR discovered in Sacco-Vanzetti the perfect vehicle to discredit and shame the United States. As an international cause celebre, this event did not occur spontaneously but, rather, was managed behind the scenes in Europe to discredit the reputation of the United States through a carefully orchestrated propaganda campaign.Perhaps the most formidable enemies of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the U.S. government were ultimately their own political leaders, who seemed powerless to rebut an all-or-nothing international propaganda campaign designed to succeed with Sacco and Vanzetti playing the role of willing martyrs. That few supporters of the Sacco-Vanzetti movement realized this effort distorted the historical accuracy of the case for decades after the men were executed. More than 70 years later, historians and scholars must separate the myth from the reality, an extremely difficult task given the passage of time and the still largely accepted view that Sacco and Vanzetti were victims of political persecution.

This book is a study of cold war agenda setting in relation to the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg spy case. Its primary interest is with press coverage of the case from 1950 to 1953, although the historical focus of the case extends before and beyond those years. The purpose of the book is not to debate the Rosenbergs' guilt or innocence, but rather to provide a fresh view of the case in its most political terms: news coverage filtered through the dynamics of cold war patriotism. A large sample of U.S. and foreign newspapers and magazines was monitored to determine if the Rosenbergs were victims of sensational pretrial and during-trial newspaper publicity. Neville also determines if the press reported on the claims of a U.S. left-wing newspaper, the National Guardian, that the Rosenbergs were framed by the U.S. government with the complicity of the news media. His conclusions question whether the mainstream press and news media ignore issues of justice for radicals in time of war and political crisis.
