I thought the pickings were going to be very slim indeed from my recent London trip, until I found an Oxfam bookshop and a treasure trove at the Waterstones opposite my Gower Street hotel - I certainly recommend the latter, where most of these came from.

I'm joining Dr Brooke Newman at Waterstones Gower Street on Friday evening for the UK launch of her new book, 'The Crown’s Silence'.

The Monarchy’s leading role in the enslavement and colonisation of African people is really important history that needs to be much more widely understood.
