His interview was first recorded on 15 March 2019, re-broadcast on 27 July, 1994 (after his death, in February of that year)

Of the many books he had published, three of them: The Life and times of Nikita Khruschev (Panther, UK, 1959) (US edition: The Man from Nowhere, 1961) The Red Barbarians: The life and Times of Mao tse-tung, 1961) (originally in hardback, T V Boardman, 1961, Kessinger, 2009); Kessinger Reprints, 2009 and 2010) and Pope John XXIII: The Peasant Pope (1962) (originally in hardback, Cassell, 1961)

formed a definitive paperback trilogy, which established him as a respected biographer. His other titles included: Poems Lyrical and Empirical (leather-bound, Jose Jurado Bocanegra, Cadiz, 1954) Don't Send Me to Omsk! (A travelogue, subtitled 'Three lively years behind the Iron Curtain' (hardback, Macdonald, 1961) The Day of the Lion: The Rise and Fall of Fascist Italy,1922-1945 (hardback,Frederick Muller,1963) Signor Roy - A British Pioneer of the Co-operative Movement in Italy (hardback, Frederick Muller, 1965; softcover, SMH Books, 2016) The Throne of Peter: A history of the Papacy (hardback, Abelard-Schumann, 1966) Africa: Background for Today (first published, 1968) Nell Gwyn (hardback, Crowood Press, 1987) Picasso's Women (hardback, Lennard Publishing, 1988)
