'An exciting, at times astonishing read... Hemming's book is an evenhanded account of the clandestine murders that still haunt so many.'

Really grateful to The New York Times for this thoughtful review of 'Four Shots in the Night' The New York Times👇

Am so glad it resonated with your experience Robert Lyman 🇺🇦, and thanks for your kind words.

Couldn't agree more about 'Operation Chiffon', which is excellent

Still can't get over the speed at which this was made... (while clare mulley I were chatting away on stage). Amazing work from Joshua James Knowles, and thanks to everyone at HistFest for putting on such a brilliant festival

I’m delighted that a new edition of “Bandit Country” will hit the streets next Thursday. Hard to believe it was written 25 years ago. The dead can’t sue, so this edition names a few more names…

Huge thanks to everyone in Ireland who's bought the book over the last week, and for all your comments and feedback, I really appreciate it.

Looking forward to talking with Rebecca Rideal abt #Zo & #Skarbek at HistFest at the British Library on Sunday… with Henry Hemming talking spies in Northern Ireland.
Last few tickets available 👇

Great to see this go out over the weekend, and huge thanks to Matt Nixson

On the podcast | Henry Hemming explores how a huge intelligence operation was carried out in Northern Ireland by Britain's secret services during the Troubles: spr.ly/6013wBbgR

Was great to chew this all over with @djmusgrove. Thanks so much for having me on the pod and really glad you liked the book

Looking forward to this next week (which will be online for anyone who wants to follow from afar)

Thank you The Wall Street Journal for this generous and nuanced review.

‘The best book about the Troubles since Patrick Radden Keefe’s “Say Nothing”... What unites the two books is outstanding reporting and an unflinching focus on the facts at hand.’

US Publication day. Thrilled to say that the book is out now across the US and Canada. It’s had starred reviews in Publishers Weekly, BookPage, and Kirkus Reviews, and been reviewed in today’s Wall Street Journal. Huge thanks to my fantastic publisher PublicAffairs

Many thanks Anthony Glees @anthonyglees.bsky.social

Thanks so much Andy Wormald for your review, really glad you liked it

Good evening, people in my phone! We've made it unscathed (well, some of us did) to the end of another week. Thank you for supporting me and for choosing to shop small! If you celebrate Easter, have a lovely time. I'm off for 4 days! Here are the week's #TopTenBestsellingTitles

My new book, The Illusionist, is out on April 25. It's the *true* story of Dudley Clarke, an extremely unusual British Army officer who spent World War 2 running military deception on a scale no one imagined possible. A scale, indeed, that no one quite grasped even at the time.

UK Publication day. I'm so grateful to everyone who's been in touch already after reading the book, and to those who shared their stories while I was piecing it all together. Thanks also to my brilliant publisher Quercus Books
