Set in the Meiji era, Yamato captures the feeling of change which swept the nation by following the lives and frienship of two girls in this era. One comes from a poor family while the other is wealthy; one was quiet while the other was vivacious. In many ways it was a study of contrast on how people reacted against change. Like her previous work set during this era, Yamato explores how the Japanese people reacted against change.

    "The Snowden Operation", demolishes Snowden's claim to be a whistleblower. Drawing on 30 years' experience observing the world of intelligence, Lucas depicts Snowden as at best reckless and naïve, and at worst a saboteur. He stole far more secrets than were necessary to make his case and did so in a deliberately damaging matter. Any benefits to the public debate about issues such as meta-data and encryption are far outweighed by the damage done to the West’s security, diplomacy and economic interests. “The Snowden Operation” highlights the inconsistencies and puzzles in the account of events given by the “Snowdenistas”.
