- [About Us](https://chiselbury.co.uk/about-us/): Independent publishing of fiction, non-fiction & military history Writing runs through our blood Chiselbury Publishing was founded by Stuart Leasor as James Leasor Publishing in 2011 to make the works of his father, James Leasor, available to new and old readers. James Leasor had been one of the bestselling and most prolific British authors of the second half of the 20th Century, writing over 50 books ranging from thrillers and historical novels to histories and biographies. However none were available as ebooks and the few in print had legacy contracts with publishers who had little interest in them.We were then approached by leading journalist Dominic Midgley to see if we could make the bestselling biographies that he had written with Chris Hutchins on Roman Abramovich and Sir James Goldsmith available again.We were then approached by a growing number of other authors wanting us to publish new and previously published works and so we rebranded as Chiselbury to reflect our new profile in 2021. Since then we have added a growing number of both first time and previously published authors to the line up. We currently have approaching 100 titles by nearly 40 different authors in print or nearing publication. Our founder Chiselbury was founded and is run by Stuart Leasor. He had books and publishing in his blood from birth, being the youngest son of James Leasor, who as well as being a bestselling author, also set up Elm Tree Books, a subsidiary of Hamish Hamilton.However Stuart only came to the book business much later in life. Taking an MA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oriel College, Oxford, he served as an officer in the 17th/21st Lancers for 10 years. He then moved into a career in financial public relations, during which he established probably the first financial PR firm to specialise in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.Over the last 35 years he has advised governments, leading global companies and some of the world’s richest businessmen, as well as situations far from the headlines, in a wide range of tasks including sentiment transition, complex financial transactions, crises and corporate disputes across five continents. He also directed nationwide public awareness campaigns to facilitate major structural and fiscal reform in a number of countries, including Bulgaria, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovenia and Ukraine.When not poring over a manuscript he can often be found behind the wheel of (or underneath…) his 1937 SS Jaguar 100, which he inherited from James Leasor and which features in a number of the latter’s books, including the Aristo Autos series.

- [Who Dares Betray (published on 1 December 2026)](https://chiselbury.co.uk/product/who-dares-betray/): From acclaimed military historian Gavin Mortimer comes a gripping SAS thriller inspired by the real clandestine operations conducted behind German lines after D-Day. Drawing on years of research into the history of Britain's wartime special forces, Mortimer brings extraordinary authenticity to a story of courage, deception and betrayal. June 1944. Occupied France. As Allied forces storm the beaches of Normandy, a squadron of elite SAS soldiers parachutes into the forests of central France. Their mission is simple and deadly: wage a guerrilla war against German units racing north to crush the invasion. But the enemy is even closer than they think. One of the SAS is a traitor — a man captured in North Africa in 1942, turned by the Germans, and now a committed Nazi. Embedded within the squadron, he is going to sell out his comrades. Operating alongside the local Maquis, the SAS ambush convoys, sabotage railways, and melt back into the woods. At first, losses are blamed on chance, on the brutal randomness of war. Then a soldier dies in unexplained circumstances. Another disappears without trace. Slowly, chillingly, the truth emerges: someone inside the unit is selling them out. But who is the Judas? Is it the smooth-talking Pollock? The hard-bitten Dobbs? Allenby, the radio operator? Gaskell, the joker? Or one of the younger men? With German patrols closing in and trust collapsing from within, the SAS must uncover the traitor in their ranks — before he leads the enemy straight to them. A tense, gripping wartime thriller of loyalty, betrayal, and survival behind enemy lines.

- [At Hitler’s Picnic (published on 14 September 2026)](https://chiselbury.co.uk/product/at-hitlers-picnic/): "Truly terrific, a magnificent achievement. It’s a remarkable window on the pre-war Germany, and is something that should be read alongside Katja Hoyer’s Weimar." Dr Robert Lyman, historian and author of The Rise of the Third Reich In 1945, an American GI picked 112 glass slides from the wreckage of the Nazi party headquarters in Wetzlar, Germany. They turned out to be an amateur slideshow of the 1934 Nazi party rally at Nuremberg, the world’s most famous propaganda event and icon of totalitarianism, from Hollywood’s The Lion King to North Korea’s Hermit Kingdom. At Hitler’s Picnic shows people experiencing the real rally, not the glamor fest captured by Leni Riefenstahl's camera in Triumph of the Will. The images and essays of At Hitler’s Picnic uncover what lies behind the images, including the logistical lessons applied to the Third Reich’s invasions and deportations, the now-forgotten party officials, “Little Hitlers”, whose rank and file really ran the Third Reich. It also illustrates the symbolic power and changing role of Nuremberg itself; from ideological heart of the Third Reich to the altar for expiating its crimes in the famous trials.

Anne, now Chief of Staff to a Combat Brigade, is quietly anxious—Rob’s last deployment to Afghanistan left deep scars, and she fears his return to chaplaincy, this time with an Army Aviation Regiment, may reopen old wounds. But Anne has challenges of her own. A hostile work environment and ghosts from her past threaten her hard-won stability. Meanwhile, a local journalist begins targeting the military with biting exposés—undermining morale and casting doubt on the institution they’ve both given their lives to serve. As the pressure mounts, Rob and Anne find themselves reckoning not just with their roles, but with the hidden cost of their years in uniform—and the sobering truth that some of the deepest wounds aren’t inflicted by war, but by the lives they’ve tried to build in its wake. The Devil in Downdraft is a gripping, quietly devastating novel of psychological pressure, institutional fragility, and hard-won love—marking a turning point in the Rob Llewellyn series as the couple begin to reckon with everything they’ve carried... and everything they can no longer ignore.

What no one knows is that he was once a Royal Marine sniper—an elite marksman forged in combat, fluent in violence, and shaped by losses he never speaks of. He’s put the rifle down, traded camouflage for the cross, and come to serve in a new way. But that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten how to survive. As Rob navigates suspicion from recruits and officers alike he begins to confront not only their pain, but his own. Haunted by the past, and compelled to protect those in his care, Rob is forced to ask himself: can a man trained to kill ever truly become a man of peace? Echoes in the Wind is a gripping exploration of trauma, identity, and redemption—a story of a soldier-turned-shepherd trying to help others heal, even as he struggles to forgive himself.
