  • This is White Devil.

  • Please do enjoy.

  • It says a lot.

  • I think, that a story that begins with a shooting on a deserted pier in Central America really can't be told, at least not by me, without talking a lot about someone who wasn't even there.

  • Lord Michael Ashcroft, as far as I can tell, was 5,000 miles away when Henry Jamott was killed.

  • He clearly had nothing to do with the horrific events on the dock.

  • But when it comes to power and how it plays out in Belize, his fingerprints are everywhere, which makes sense.

  • The guy's got his fingers in a lot of pies, as they say in the uk.

  • I mean, say what you will about Michael Ashcroft, he is not a lazy man.

  • Belizeans know him for being extremely rich and owning lots of things.

  • And back home in the uk, he's also known for being a ruthless businessman as well as a passionate conservative, a generous philanthropist, and the author of many, many books.

  • 33 at last count.

  • A mix of political analysis, pet interests, unauthorized biographies, plus a whole series of books celebrating British military heroes.

  • And as the title of my latest book suggests, it's about some of the heroes from the Falklands War.

  • This is Ashcroft in November 2021, speaking at the launch party for one of his more recent titles, Falkland's War Heroes.

  • The book jacket notes that Lord Ashcroft has been, quote, fascinated by bravery since he was a young boy, and certainly his publishing record backs that up.

  • Falkland's was his seventh book with the word heroes in the title.

  • My book tells wonderful stories of courage by our soldiers, our sailors, our airmen and their support staff.
