The Last 10 Books (I added to my Wish List) - March 2026  

As usual I’ve been adding books (and other things I won’t mention here) to my Wish List like it's the end of the world. As always, I blame a combination of YouTubers, Current Events, my Butterfly mind and updating my hardbacks to paperbacks. So, here they are:  

Made in Manchester: A Peoples History of the City that Shaped the Modern World by Brian Groom 

Irregular Army: How the US Military Recruited Neo-Nazis, Gang Members, and Criminals by Matt Kennard 

Hayek's Bastards: The Neoliberal Roots of the Populist Right by Quinn Slobodian 

Sceptred Isle: A New History of the Fourteenth Century by Helen Carr 

The Twilight War: The Secret History of America's Thirty-Year Conflict with Iran by David Crist 

Lenin: A Biography by Robert Service 

Trotsky: A Biography by Robert Service 

The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism by Clara E. Mattei 

Escape From Capitalism: Economics is Political, and Other Liberating Truths by Clara E. Mattei 

Liverpool: A Story of Britain by Sam Wetherell 

A nice mix I think with the usual heavy emphasis on History. Zero idea when (or indeed IF) any of them will get purchased, but its highly likely I’ll be reading the book on Liverpool this year. I’m really looking forward to THAT one!
