DID YOU REALLY SHOOT THE TELEVISION?

This book portrays the childhood of journalist Max Hastings, fraught with rows and explosions, in which the sudden death of a television set was only one highlight. His story will make a lot of people laugh and perhaps a few cry.

GOING TO THE WARS

The author, failed soldier turned journalist, reported on most major conflicts from Northern Ireland in 1969, through Biafra, Vietnam, Cambodia and the Middle East to the Falkland's War of 1982. Here the self-confessed coward describes his experiences.

THE SECRET WAR

Max Hastings examines the espionage and intelligence machines of all sides in World War II and the impact of spies, code breakers and partisan operations on events. With accounts from British, American, German, Russian and Japanese sources he tells the story of a secret war waged unceasingly by men and women whose actions profoundly influenced the outcome.

VIETNAM: AN EPIC HISTORY OF A DIVISIVE WAR 1945-1975

Vietnam became the Western world's most divisive modern conflict, precipitating a battlefield humiliation for France in 1954, then a vastly greater one for the United States in 1975. Max Hastings has spent years interviewing scores of participants on both sides, as well as researching a multitude of American and Vietnamese documents and memoirs, to create this epic narrative of a huge struggle.
