Ronald Farquhar
Wednesday 20 April 2011
I was so sorry to hear of Ronnie's passing. He was a great man and, as a journalist, the ultimate, unflappable pro. I first met him in Bonn in the early 70s. Ronnie was the news editor of a busy bureau at a time when West Germany was in the forefront of efforts to ease Cold War tensions in Europe. He was a kind and generous colleague with a lovely sense of humour.

The Promise of Yalta
Friday 20 November 2009
Bernard Melunsky's The Promise of Yalta is very well researched. He gives a good overview of the various nations' positions as well as a nice insight into the personalities round the Yalta table. Through his history Bernard weaves a credible cold war romance. Bernard's easy flowing style makes this a compelling read. I thoroughly recommend it and hope that Bernard does not stop here.
