Books by Douglas Boyd

The mutual hatred of the Plantagenet princes is both legendary and popular.

A unique look at the extraordinary lives of the royal child brides of the Angevin Empire.

Trained by his NKVD - a predecessor of the KGB - officers of the Polish UB, the Czech StB, the Hungarian AVO, Romania's Securitate, Bulgaria's KDS, Albania's Sigurimi and the Stasi of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) spied on and ruthlessly repressed their fellow citizens on the Soviet model.

Challenges the Western Front bias of First World War history - a must-have for any First World War historian.

In a frightening foretaste of future warfare, the Kremlin launched a cyberattack on neighbouring Estonia in 2007 that crashed every computer and silenced every mobile phone, bringing the country to a complete halt.

In this timely publication, Douglas Boyd shows how this still-flying banner of revolution changed the world.

The Solitary Spy is a unique account of the terrifying experience of incarceration and interrogation in an East German political prison, from which Boyd eventually escaped one step ahead of the KGB.

When people think of Richard the Lionheart they recall the scene at the end of every Robin Hood epic when he returns from the Crusades to punish his treacherous brother John and the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham.
