Books
Like many academics and old soldiers, I have several books in development.... but I have only published one, a novel set against the difficult backdrop of war in the Balkans. I have, however, helped edit a number of publications, one of which is promoted here.


Blood on the
Iron Hard Ground
When the fearless Isabella Harris arrives in Bosnia during the Siege of Sarajevo, Chris Roberts knows he has discovered the love of his life. Drawn into the mysterious world of the Observers, a shadowy United Nations organisation running rescue missions across the lines of confrontation, their love battles to find its place in a city shattered by the consequences of bitter conflict.
