Gwent/Monmouthshire, call it what you will, is both an integral part of Wales and greatly influenced by its nearness to England. Though small in scale, it is also a country of great natural beauty, where many fine and fascinating buildings can be found. Roman occupation has left remarkable evidence in two outstandingly well-preserved sits, the legionary fortress at Caerleon and the town of Venta Silurum (Caerwent), The splendid series of medieval castles includes Chepstow and Raglan, two of the most magnificent in the whole of Britain, and also such evocative but little known examples as Caldicot and Usk. Among monasteries Tintern Abbey is celebrated for its evocative ruins, while Llanthony Priory is unforgettable in its lonely valley. All these, and many other medieval buildings, including numerous fine parish churches, are fully described and analysed in this book. The farmhouses on the country have been made famous by the three volumes which Sir Cyril Fox and Lord Raglan devoted to them half a century ago. Here will be found up-to-date discussions of many of these houses as they survive today. among larger houses the late Stuart Tredegar House and the extraordinary Victorian mansion, The Hendre, take pride of place. Victorian industrial development, in ironworking and coalmining, has left a rich legacy vividly recalling the vitality as well as the harshness of this now vanished era. They include major industrial sites such as Balenavon and Ebbw Vale, and Newport retains much of its character as one of the principal ports of South Wales. The heritage of chapels, churches, workmen's institutes and housing development is explored n this book, much of it for the first time. During the20th century the country has seen some of the most exciting architecture anywhere in Wales. The Arts and Crafts movement made an important and varied contribution. Since 1945 schools, housing, and above all factories, have reflected avant-garde thinking, making Gwent/Monmouthshire a particularly rewarding county for modern architecture.

From the acclaimed author of JFK and Vietnam comes the most unsettling, revelatory book about the CIA and the Cold War to be published in a decade. Sure to cause a firestorm of controversy, this book uncovers more than any previous inquiry of the government’s role in the Kennedy assassination. How involved was the CIA with Lee Harvey Oswald? Why was Oswald’s file tampered with before the assassination of John Kennedy? And why were significant documents from it removed afterward? Finally, we have answers to these questions, answers not from theories, but from the primary sources themselves. John Newman has interviewed dozens of high-placed officials who have never before spoken candidly on these sensitive issues. He has thoroughly examined the vast body of new material forced into release by the JFK Records Act of 1992. Oswald and the CIA is a devastating report based on indisputable evidence. Written by a historian who spent more than twenty years with the U.S. intelligence community, it is an insider’s account of the secret record. Bit by bit, document by document, the reader watches Oswald’s file build as it was observed through the eyes of the intelligence officers who actually handled those files. The Oswald paper trail inside the CIA is a gripping journey through the darkest corners of the Agency’s Clandestine Services. The Oswald connection leads through the agency’s most secret elements and their operations, including the Soviet Russia Division, Angelton’s Counter-Intelligence Staff, and the Special Affairs Staff’s anti-Cuban operations. To look at the Oswald file is to look at the most sensitive CIA operation of the Cold War. The story is as alarming as it is tragic; for the lies and the manipulations it reveals lead directly to the President’s murder.
