  • The West German police, the RAF manhunt and the killing of a British citizen: Reading the (slim) FCO file on the death of Iain Macleod
    This is the draft of a paper that I presented at the online conference of the Australasian Association of European Historians last year. It is a reading of the rather slim FCO file on the death of Iain Macleod, a British citizen who was killed by the West German police during a raid on a […]

As part of this inquiry, a large number of documents have […]

Within the Croatian nationalist movement back then and also since the collapse of Yugoslavia in the 199 […]
