Hunton H: The History of Scamming ...and
how to stay safe

The History of Scamming ...and how to stay safe

** THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER **ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING FINALIST 2026A Best Book of the Year in the Financial Times, The Week, Spectator, BBC History Magazine, NPR, History Today, Waterstones and Daunts'A sparkling debut by an outstanding young historian' PETER FRANKOPAN'Remarkable ... The prose is vivid, the storytelling cinematic'GUARDIANA history of modern South Asia told through five partitions that reshaped it.As recently as 1928, a vast swathe of Asia - India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal, Bhutan, Yemen, Oman, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait - were bound together under a single imperial banner, an entity known officially as the 'Indian Empire', or more simply as the Raj.It was the British Empire's crown jewel, a vast dominion stretching from the Red Sea to the jungles of Southeast Asia, home to a quarter of the world's population and encompassing the largest Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Zoroastrian communities on the planet. Its people used the Indian rupee, were issued passports stamped 'Indian Empire', and were guarded by armies garrisoned in forts from the Bab el-Mandeb to the HimalayasAnd then, in the space of just fifty years, the Indian Empire shattered. Five partitions tore it apart, carving out new nations, redrawing maps, and leaving behind a legacy of war, exile and division.Shattered Lands, for the first time, presents the whole story of how the Indian Empire was unmade. How a single, sprawling dominion became twelve modern nations. How maps were redrawn in boardrooms and on battlefields, by politicians in London and revolutionaries in Delhi, by kings in remote palaces and soldiers in trenches.Its legacies include civil war in Burma and ongoing insurgencies in Kashmir, Baluchistan and Northeast India, and the Rohingya genocide. It is a history of ambition and betrayal, of forgotten wars and unlikely alliances, of borders carved with ink and fire. And, above all, it is the story of how the map of modern Asia was made.Sam Dalrymple's stunning history is based on deep archival research, previously untranslated private memoirs, and interviews in English, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Punjabi, Konyak, Arabic and Burmese. From portraits of the key political players to accounts of those swept up in these wars and mass migrations, Shattered Lands is vivid, compelling, thought-provoking history at its best.** Shattered Lands is being translated into four languages (Bengali, Marathi, Malayalam and Hindi), and was shortlisted for the Eastern Eye Award for History, the Ramnath Goenka Sahithya Samman and Atta Galatta prizes. **'A stunning achievement. Shattered Lands reframes the story of South Asia with rare empathy and elegance, breathing life into the legacies of the partitions that shape a quarter of our world today'THANT MYINT-U'This richly researched, vividly written book tells the story of how a colossal and powerful Empire was broken up into many distinct nation-states...An impressive debut by a gifted and very energetic young writer'RAMACHANDRA GUHA

Slums, informal settlements, and other unplanned habitats are seen as the antithesis of the metropolis. Matias Echanove and Rahul Srivastava, found­ers of the design practice urbz, explore how such neighbourhoods and their inhabitants have been unfairly dismissed when they should in fact be under-stood as partners in the story of cities and urban development.

A Telegraph Best Book of 2025.A News Statesman Book of the Year 2025.'David Goldblatt is possibly the best football historian there has ever been'. Dominic Sandbrook'David Goldblatt is the greatest British sportswriter of the 21st century ... Injury Time is an absolute classic.' James Montague, author of The Billionaires Club and EngulfedFootball, history and the state of the nation - and why it matters.Injury Time is a sharp and thought provoking look at contemporary British society through the lens of football; a society shaken by more than a decade of economic, political and social upheaval, whose causes and consequences have proved hard to grasp.Set against the backdrop of Brexit, Covid and today's 'polycrisis' - spanning economic decline, war in Europe, political unrest and climate change - this book argues that football provides an unmatched vantage point for understanding the nation's state of affairs. From grassroots clubs battling for survival to the rise and fall of Russian oligarchs in the sport, the game's tragedies and triumphs echo the larger shifts shaping Britain.With striking examples such as Marcus Rashford's anti-hunger campaign and the uproar surrounding Gary Lineker's tweets, Injury Time underscores football's central role in public conversation. Football, Goldblatt contends, is the ultimate societal bellwether - a reflection of Britain's virtues and flaws alike.

'Consummate and thorough' - The Times'Darkly entertaining' - The SpectatorA superbly written work of narrative non-fiction by an exciting new talent, The Anti-Catastrophe League isa brilliant study of the people and their teams who are trying to save the world.Our species has a unique genius for self-imperilment. The ancient dangers - asteroids, super-volcanoes and worse - still stalk us, but the most pressing time-bombs are of our own making. Our knack for self-imperilment, though, is one side of a coin: for we are also developing a knack for ambitious solutions.The Anti-Catastrophe League, informed by the author's experience of working in the field of what is known as existential risk, tells the story of a species that is working out how to defuse several bombs at once. From ancient risks to very modern apocalypses, the book charts the imminent dangers to the human race, and introduces readers to the groups of scientists, eccentrics, diplomats and visionaries who are trying to prevent doom.The Anti-Catastrophe League is a fascinating story of the end of the world - and what we can do about it.

Scam World is a big place, encompassing everything from investment fraud to everyday rip-offs. Setting out to discover its strange geography, Zeke Faux ('the funniest finance writer in America' - Matt Levine) takes notes at stadium-sized motivational conferences where paying audiences learn that the only way to reach your dreams is to sell, by any means necessary. He goes undercover, taking a job at a shady Florida call-centre operation fueled by social media ads that 'go out and find the morons for me'.Crossing the globe from India to Dubai to Thailand's Golden Triangle, where gangsters have built an entire city of scams, he explores the psychology of the con artist. What drives someone to choose a life of ripping other people off? And what makes us fall for them? (As one victim of a $100,000 fraud tells him, 'Once my scammer told me how I could make 30% overnight, working for $20 an hour seemed like the real scam.')From Mar-a-Lago to White House, from Wall Street to your street, this is the story of how the 'sell or be sold' mindset went from being a sign of sociopathy to a marker of success.

Since the Black Lives Matter movement, awareness of the need for racial justice has grown ever more powerful, globally. Like The Secret Barrister, The Colour of Injustice is a passionate call to reflect upon and re-examine Britain's relationship with justice. Lee Lawrence will tell the most compelling and outrageous stories of crimes against Black people in Britain (at best ignored, at worst covered up or colluded in by the state) and in doing so ask profound questions about contemporary British society.
