"He believed he was giving a prophecy. Britain heard an outrage." April 1968: Enoch Powell stands at a podium in Birmingham and delivers the "Rivers of Blood" speecha forensic, classically-charged detonation that instantly ended his career while making him the most popular man in England. In Enoch Powell: The Prophet of Britains Future?, Lucas Almanza provides a cerebral and balanced re-examination of a man who was more than a caricature of a racist demagogue. Powell was a brilliant classicist, a brigadier at 32, and a formidable intellect who viewed the modern world through the tragic lens of Thucydides and the fragile destiny of nations.Moving beyond the tribal left/right narratives, Almanza explores the "Prophet of Identity" who warned that multiculturalism and the erosion of national sovereignty would fracture Britains emotional unity. While the establishment reviled him, polls at the time suggested that between 67% and 82% of the British population agreed with his sentiments, highlighting a massive "confidence gap" between the elite and the public. This biography treats Powell as a historian of decline, tracing his path from an obsessed scholar of the British Empire to the intellectual father of Euroscepticismforeshadowing the arguments that would eventually lead to Brexit decades before the term existed.Enoch Powell: The Prophet of Britains Future? does not seek to redeem or condemn, but to understand. It asks the uncomfortable question: Were Powells warnings about community fragmentation and the loss of a "shared grammar of belonging" accurate predictions or self-fulfilling prophecies? By comparing Powells 1968 projectionswhere he estimated the Commonwealth-descended population would reach 5 to 7 million by the year 2000with the reality of 21st-century demographics, Almanza offers a masterclass in political theory and cultural criticism. This is a literary, morally serious roadmap for anyone ready to examine the man who spoke like a poet to a world that wanted an accountant.

Cremonellos Return is the sequel to the first novel Cremonello, which covered Thomas Cromwells family background, youth and early adventures in Europe. He is now aged 22 and returns to London a wanted man. Until he can gain his pardon he retains his Florentine identity as Cremonello, envoy of The Frescobaldi Company.Cromwell is pursued by his bitter enemies from the first novel: The Lomellini family from Genoa, who are becoming dominant in the textile trade across southern England General Bartolomeo DAlviano, the mercenary leader maimed by Cromwell during the Battle of Garigliano in 1503. He builds his London reputation in trade and law while returning regularly to visit his mistress Maddalena de Medici, who now runs the Salon Marchesa, Romes most prestigious venue for courtesans and gaming.With his friend Daniele de Bossi, the Florentine Ambassador to the Court of King Henry Tudor, Cremonello and his guards transport to London multiple boxes of secret records from the Salon Marchesa. These Marchesa Archives were built up over thirty years by the salon founder, Danieles mother Valeria, and contain inflammatory details of the sexual behaviour and gambling habits of several members of the Vatican and much of Romes nobility.On Cremonellos return to Italy in 1508, the Lomellini immediately kidnap Maddalena and their young son Giovanni Battista. To save them, Cromwell turns himself in to the Lomellini, who transport him to Genova to apply their own brand of justice. He escapes at the last moment thanks to Ottoman allies of his old comrade Amin al Bagrahbi.Added to Cromwells list of adversaries are now Sanxit Praesidio, the secret Vatican force of elite agents, who are active in London attempting to seize these Marchesa Archives.When Henry VII dies in 1509, Sanxit also join forces with Maximilian I, Habsburg Emperor of The Holy Roman Empire, to undermine the succession of eighteen-year-old Prince Henry and favour the Yorkist Edmund de la Pole. Cromwell and his guards are alert to an assassination attempt and save the lives of newlyweds Henry and Princess Catherine of Aragon.The pardoned Thomas Cromwell then builds his money-lending and legal practice and becomes an essential provider of legal and commercial services to Thomas Wolsey, the Royal Chaplain. As Thomas returns to Florence and Rome every year or so, he maintains his relationship with Maddalena and Battista. He starts to acknowledge that his skills are not just in the detail of trade and the law, but also in languages and politics, to make him a unique figure in the axis between Tudor London, Antwerp, Florence and Rome. This allows him to gain many commissions from leading merchants or from dioceses in England to achieve favour and benefit from the Vatican.In 1512 Maddalena becomes the architect of an alliance with Spain to achieve renewed Medici rule over the Florentine Republic. Thomas is there to advise and support her. The Medici power base grows further in 2013, when Maddalenas brother Giovanni becomes Pope Leo X.General DAlviano has mixed success as a mercenary leader but waits until 1515, when he is in a position to lure Cromwell into his battle camp by capturing the young Battista. Cromwell engages a small force of his own from another old friend, the Duke of Sarzana, to mount an attempt to rescue his son.

Thomas Cromwell would become Englands most powerful and revered politician until his rapid downfall in 1540, but he grew up in a shattered family during the most brutal period of history, starting from Sir Robert Cromwells cruel 1461 death in Englands bloodiest ever battle during the Wars Of The Roses. His family then suffers four generations of misfortune and violence before Thomas is born.As Cromwell suffers a traumatic boyhood, King Henry VII has just ended the reign of Richard III at the 1485 Battle Of Bosworth, thanks to thousands of extra Flemish mercenary soldiers that Henry could hire using vast loans, which he secures from the bank run by Lorenzo de Medici in Florence. Sixteen years on from Bosworth, Cromwell finds himself as a soldier in this same Flemish mercenary brigade. The influence on English rulers by the Medici Bank and other wealthy Italian families, like the Lomellini and the Frescobaldi, has existed for over a hundred years, not just in London. Daughters are a political pawn to be traded like a shipload of quality Cotswold cloth. Sexual violence and infidelity are acceptable nearly everywhere, led by the most powerful monarchs, nobles or cardinals. But the story highlights two women who rise above this male cruelty: Maddalena de Medici and Valeria di Casentino.Cromwell thrives on the stages of Renaissance Europe. After his fathers beatings, then prison and exile from England at the age of fifteen, he is the ultimate survivor. When cornered he is a vicious killer as he travels through France and Italy with the Flemish mercenary brigade and fights with Cesare Borgia and then the French, as they try to regain Naples. He is captured and tortured by the victorious Spanish before being sold into slavery. Escaping to Florence, he finds furtive but life-changing love with Maddalena, the daughter of Lorenzo de Medici, who is twelve years older and locked in a miserable arranged marriage to the vile son of a pope. The lovers liaise in the threatened world of the Medicis finest Tuscan homes, assisted by Madam Valeria, herself an illegitimate Medici daughter and the owner of Romes finest salon for gaming and courtesans.Cromwell matures fast into a respected merchant and envoy for the Frescobaldi Company in Venice. But he never knows if he can return as a free man to England. And two bitter enemies pursue him - Bartolomeo DAlviano, a mercenary general, maimed by Cromwell in a battle for French control of Naples; and Angelo Lomellini, the fiendish Genoa gang leader, from whom Cromwell ruthlessly extracts a long-overdue Frescobaldi debt. Returning to England as Cremonello after seven years in exile, he has fathered Maddalenas son. But he must still evade his enemies and consider a tempting but treasonous offer by Florentine politician Machiavelli. He also now controls Valerias momentous secret archive, which could change the religious and political landscape across the whole of Europe forever. This is the untold story of Cromwells early life, with startling conclusions and unique insights on the dynamics between a turbulent England and a volatile Renaissance Italy."This novel is set during one of my favourite times in history. I love the espionage, intrigue and evil of the Medici. I love the excesses and the indulgences of the time. There is a wonderful duality of perversion and propriety that makes for fascinating tales. The author obviously shares my interest in the time and has a fantastic sense of the history." Independ...
