  The Prince of Evolution is the evolutionary reframing of one of the most important and 
  controversial political texts in history. It reframes Machiavelli’s The Prince as a text expressing a revolutionary political theory that expresses an evolutionary ‘best practice’ framework for political competition. 
   
  By applying the two patterns of evolution, natural and artificial, discovered by Charles Darwin and David R. Wood. In doing so it reveals new insights and value to be derived from Machiavelli’s original text. Most importantly, by providing an evolutionary framework for every human
   relationship that has ever existed, and reframes Machiavelli, the man, to be just as human as you or I.
   
  The Prince of Evolution is a groundbreaking work that will disrupt the entire field of political 
  science. And the way we all look at organizations, communities, and ourselves.

  Winner of the Best Non-Fiction by a Parliamentarian category at the Parliamentary Book Awards 2023
  With a Foreword by Lord Hague of Richmond
  The Intelligence Corps is one of the smallest and most secretive elements of the British Army. It has existed in various guises since the early twentieth century, but it was only formally constituted in July 1940. In this book, Michael Ashcroft tells the astonishing stories of some of its most courageous and ingenious figures, who have operated all over the world from the First World War to the present day.
  Whether carrying out surveillance work on the street, monitoring and analysing communications, working on overseas stakeouts, receiving classified information from a well-placed contact or interrogating the enemy in the heat of war, a hugely diverse range of people have served in the Corps, often supplementing their individual professional skills with original thinking and leadership in the name of the Crown. This book pays tribute to them and shows why, in the words of the 1st Duke of Marlborough, 'No war can be conducted successfully without early and good intelligence.'
