Alan Clark was passionate about cars from an early age. He bought his first car – a secondhand 6.5 litre Bentley – while still a schoolboy at Eton and without a driving licence. By the time he was 24 he had been banned from driving three times, not only for speeding but in one instance for driving an open Buick Roadster with a girl on his lap. He dealt in ‘classic’ and vintage cars and soon built up an impressive stable of his own. One of his first published pieces of journalism appeared in the US magazine, Road and Track, for which he was briefly UK correspondent. ‘Back Fire’, the title of a column he wrote in Thoroughbred and Classic Cars magazine, ran for three years until his death in September 1999. Here Robert Coucher, former editor of the magazine, has collected Clark’s motoring writings – among them previously untranscribed diary entries and some early memoirs, including driving his own R-R Silver Ghost in two Alpine rallies. He also contributes a revealing introduction. Alan Clark’s elder son, James Clark – who has inherited his father’s motoring enthusiasms – provides a Prologue; Alan Clark’s widow, Jane writes a moving Afterword.

Alan Clark’s Diaries are the best account of the last quarter of a century of British politics. 
The first volume was published to enormous acclaim and bestselling success in hardback and paperback (30 weeks overall on the Sunday Times bestseller list). As The Times wrote in a leading article: ‘The best diarists, from Pepys and Boswell, to "Chips" Channon and Harold Nicolson, have been the souls of indiscretion. But none so indiscreet as Mr Clark. … For its Pooterish self-assessment, for Mr Toad’s enthusiasm for new things, for Byron’s caddishness, for its deadly candour, it is one of the great works in the genre.’
‘Into Politics’ begins in 1973 with Clark’s selection as Tory candidate for Nancy Astor’s old seat in Plymouth (rival candidates included future Conservative luminaries, Michael Howard and Norman Fowler) his election to the Commons in the 1974 general election. His years as a backbencher coincide with Edward Heath as PM, his downfall and the arrival of Margaret Thatcher. This volume ends with the inside story of the Falklands War. In his private life Alan and his wife Jane and their two young sons take over Saltwood Castle (previously the home of his father Kenneth (Civilisation) Clark). His enthusiasms for the estate, skiing, fast cars and girls are never far away.
For the hundreds of thousands of readers who were enthralled by the first volume, ‘Into Politics’ will be an event.

Weidenfeld & Nicholson military

For both Allies and Axis powers, Crete offered immense strategic importance for controlling the Mediterranean, with great naval harbors, level areas for airfields, and mountain anti-aircraft positions. How did it happen, then, that in 1941, German paratroopers spectacularly overcame thousands of British troops and an even larger contingent from Greece to hold Crete until the war ended? A world-class historian vividly explains the events that led up to first major airborne assault in history.

Carefully researched and beautifully written, this book is a classic of military history. Alan Clark vividly narrates the course of the dramatic and brutal war between the German and Russians on the Eastern Front during the Second World War. From the invasion of Russia mounted on Midsummer's Day 1941 and the German Army's advance to the outskirts of Moscow, to the terrible turning point of Stalingrad and the eventual defeat of the Nazis at the Fall of Berlin after the hard years of fighting and advance by the Red Army, this is epic history narrated by a master.
