    About this ebook

    High politics and underground warfare from 1940, the fall of France to 1956, the Suez crisis. Historical reconstruction with fictional extension. Heavy Waters was born out of a desire to throw myself back into the dark time out of which people of my generation were born to the half-crazed survivors of armed conflict. It calls up the sea the liquid that surrounds us and the Bomb, the weapon that still threatens us. My mission? To sink thru layers of archive, literature of all sorts, memoirs, chronologies, boys action stories, flash comics, technical manuals and land as lightly on the page as possible.

      If the interview with Simon Jenkins in your March issue (A Welsh Tragedy?) is anything to go by, I suspect his recent Radio 4 documentary – controversially entitled Wales: A Twentieth-Century Tragedy? – was largely based on flimsy anecdotal evidence.
