I am an academic freelancer with a strong interest in british criminal history of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. For this purpose I have published in 2009 a second book "At the Instigation of the Devil": Capital Punishment and the Assize in the early Modern England, 1670-1730.

My book Crime and Punishment in the Royal Navy of the Seven Years War, 1755-1763, which I now make available here as an PDF-ebook has not only received a multitude of positive reviews (see above), but also has been quoted as a work of authority in the Supreme Court of the United States, Washington, in the two Guatanamo related cases Geren versus Omar and Munaf versus Geren.
