Acknowledgments

As always, I am indebted to many people for their support and help. I would particularly like to mention Michael Riordan, archivist of St John’s and the Queen’s Colleges, Oxford, for giving me his valuable time, and Bill Clements, chairman of the Fortress Study Group, www.fsgfort.com. My thanks, too, to my wife Naomi, editor Kate Parkin and agent Teresa Chris.
