In this novel of conspiracy and terrorism a dark presence from Robert Davidson's previous novel The Tuzla Run dominates centre stage. Liam MacDermot is fostered by the violent embrace of revolt and matures to become an iconic lynch pin in the IRA's fight against the British State for an independent North. With killing skills, forged in the cauldron of an underground war, tempered and honed in action he becomes too ruthless even for his comrades in arms. He deviates only to pursue his vendetta against ex IRA hitman Declan Rath and Spider Webb a former SAS soldier. His psychotic obsession with wholesale but clinical savagery may prove to be his undoing, but he is the nemesis for many, bringing death to innocents in his belief only blood spilled can nurture victory. MI5 joins forces with Webb and Rath as tensions spiral in this conflict of psychopathic savagery versus law and order. Elusive, with no visible footprint, despite his known involvement in several atrocities, The Man From Armagh will be their most deadly enemy and threatens to be unstoppable.

After the defeat at Colenso, the Natal Field Force under General Buller needed to break through the Boer lines and relieve the besieged town of Ladysmith. Buller's army marched westwards, crossed the Tugela River at Trichardt's Drift and Potgieter's Drift, and from 17-27 January 1900 fought the Boers with artillery and infantry attacks. These significant and prolonged battles have largely been ignored because of the horror of Spion Kop (Spioenkop) on 24 January. Yet Spion Kop began as a small flank attack - only a tenth of the British force were initially involved, and only 300 Boers counter-attacked.This book is the culmination of years of study, and correctly places Spioenkop in the context of the larger campaign. The author uses battlefield archaeology and eyewitness accounts of Boer and British participants to create a highly original and detailed account. This book also serves as a battlefield guide to Tabanyama and Spioenkop, providing detailed maps and numerous GPS locations.

Robert Davidson is an octogenarian and although born in Aberdeen, he has lived in Banchory, on Royal Deeside for the past 45 years. He started writing his ' Comments on Political, Economic & Social Events' as a hobby in the 1980's, endeavouring to capture a variety of interesting events which he thought would be of general interest to many, in particular those living in the Banchory area. He approached the editor of the local weekly 'Deeside Piper Newspaper' and asked if he would consider publishing them. Following their acceptance, the earlier ones were entitled 'This and That' in 1993. It was then decided some time later to re-title the column 'Deesider'. He continued to submit these until 1998.
