Don at War
When A Don at War was published in 1966 it was hailed as the first book to be written from the point of view of the Intelligence staff officer in the field with critics remarking on Sir David Hunt's authoritative exposition of British as well as German strategies. Eight years later it was revealed that the British, through the Ultra' system, were able to decode even the most important German radio messages despite the fact they were sent in the supposedly unbreakable Enigma cipher'. Since 1974 the great secret has become common knowledge. As a result Sir David has specially written for this second edition a new foreword whose main purpose is to explain the use made of Ultra during four years campaigning in the Mediterranean.

Don Dada
In May 2010, the Jamaican government used its military and police arms of the state to capture, arrest and extradite Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke to the United States on drug trafficking charges. Coke was Jamaica’s last mega don. He derived this status from his considerable political influence, financial wealth and the para-military prowess accorded to him from leading the infamous ‘Showa Posse’ gang.The Jamaican don is a violent non-state actor who wields considerable power and control inside the nation’s garrison communities. A don is a male figure, usually from the community in which he plays a leadership role. Garrisons in Jamaica have often emerged as neighbourhoods that are don-ruled shadow versions of the official state. These are poor inner-city communities characterised by homogeneous, and in some cases, over-voting patterns for one of Jamaica’s two major political parties: The People’s National Party (PNP) or the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP). This book explores the major roles dons play in Jamaican garrisons. It focuses on a cluster of communities in the downtown metro area of Kingston, Jamaica. Additionally, it investigates the factors that account for the evolution of such roles performed by dons from the 1960s to the present. The author used governance theories and the concept of embeddedness as an analytic framework to interpret the power and authority dons have in garrisons. It ends with suggestions on how to dissolve the power of dons and their gangs in Jamaica’s inner-city communities.

Twilight of the Dons
The rise to power and eventual fall from grace of the Oxbridge intellectualAfter World War II, the academics of Oxford and Cambridge—the dons—formed an unusual kind of university-based, establishment-connected intelligentsia. Unlike intellectuals in other countries, often anti-establishment outsiders, the dons of Oxbridge enjoyed secure and even cosy connections with those in power. In Twilight of the Dons, Colin Kidd examines the golden age of Britain’s Oxford- and Cambridge-based intellectual elites—and how their influence waned when Oxbridge’s links to the establishment began to fray. Kidd explores a series of episodes and themes that range from the dons’ confrontations with student protesters in the 1960s to their reaction to the rise of Thatcherism in the 1980s. The cast of characters includes many of twentieth-century Britain’s most famous intellectuals—Elizabeth Anscombe, Isaiah Berlin, Edmund Leach, J. H. Plumb and Hugh Trevor-Roper, to name just a few.Kidd describes the multiple important roles played by dons in World War II, the countercultural force of convert Catholicism and the strange phenomenon of Tory Marxism. He examines the dons’ attitudes towards America and France—as seen in their engagement in the debates over the Kennedy assassination and the awkward reception of Lévi-Strauss’s anthropology. When Oxbridge came under assault, it was first by a modernising, technocratic Left in the early 1960s, then by student radicals in the late 1960s and finally by the Thatcherite Right—in whose rise, Kidd shows, some dons were complicit. As deference to Oxbridge intelligentsia declined, a reassessment of the place of dons in British public life began.

Don Juan
Byron's exuberant masterpiece tells of the adventures of Don Juan, beginning with his illicit love affair at the age of sixteen in his native Spain and his subsequent exile to Italy. Following a dramatic shipwreck, his exploits take him to Greece, where he is sold as a slave, and to Russia, where he becomes a favourite of the Empress Catherine who sends him on to England. Written entirely in ottava rima stanza form, Byron's Don Juan blends high drama with earthy humour, outrageous satire of his contemporaries (in particular Wordsworth and Southey) and sharp mockery of Western societies, with England coming under particular attack.
