...account of the historian's craft over the last 2,500 years.

A former professor of European thought at Oxford University, Burrow marshals a lifetime of knowledge and guides the reader effortlessly across the ages...

A source familiar with the discussion told TIME that the force is considering assigning Bhutto Zardari one of its personal security specialists normally dedicated to Chequers, the British Prime Minister's rural retreat, which is also in the Thames Valley jurisdiction. London's Evening Standard newspaper reported that Bhutto Zardari's protection officer will be armed. But carrying weapons seems unlikely given Oxford's past efforts to avoid police intrusiveness.
