Politics On the Edge:
Tackling ministerial briefs on flood response and prison violence, engaging with conflict and poverty abroad as a foreign minister, and Brexit as a Cabinet minister, Stewart learned first-hand how profoundly hollow our democracy and government had become.

The Places In Between:
Caught between hostile nations, warring factions and competing ideologies, at the time Afghanistan was in turmoil following the US invasion. Travelling entirely on foot and following the inaccessible mountainous route once taken by the Mogul Emperor, Babur the Great, Stewart was nearly defeated by the extreme, hostile conditions.

Occupational Hazards:
Occupational Hazards is Rory Stewart's inside account of the attempt to rebuild a nation, the errors made, the misunderstandings and insurmountable difficulties encountered. It reveals an Iraq hidden from most foreign journalists and soldiers. Stewart is an award-winning writer, gifted with extraordinary insight into the comedy, occasional heroism and moral risks of foreign occupation.

The Marches:
On their six-hundred-mile, thirty-day journey - with Rory on foot, and his father ‘ambushing’ him by car – the pair relive Scottish dances, reflect on Burmese honey-bears, and on the loss of human presence in the British landscape. Travelling across mountain ridges and through housing estates they uncover a forgotten country crushed between England and Scotland: the Middleland.

Middleland[Hardcover]:
Rory Stewart spent nearly a decade as MP for Britain’s most rural constituency, Penrith and the Border. As he came to know and love this part of Cumbria, he found inspiration in the beauty of its landscape, its rugged history as a frontierland, and in the spirit of its people.

About the Author:
Rory Stewart lived in and around the Eden Valley of Cumbria for ten years, serving as the Member of Parliament for Penrith and the Border. He is half Scottish and half English. He is the author of several prize-winning and bestselling books including The Places in Between, a New York Times bestseller, and, most recently, Politics On the Edge, a no. 1 Sunday Times bestseller. Stewart is currently Brady-Johnson Professor of the Practice of Grand Strategy at Yale University’s Jackson School of Global Affairs, and the co-host of the leading UK podcast The Rest Is Politics.
