Published #OTD 1983, the first English-language edition of Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose" - a dark, philosophical, #medieval murder mystery, which spawned a thousand imitators.

Learnt so much from Alina Nowobilska🇵🇱 about the Warsaw Uprising today. Humbling and harrowing history, especially given Alina's family connections to the events. What an amazing thing it is that a German and a Pole can walk through Warsaw together today 🇵🇱🇩🇪

In which @tonisenior gets fangirl-ish over Thomas Cromwell, and recommends a few books to read (guess which ones!). The History Book Buffs are impatiently awaiting the new book on the House of Cromwell by the BRILLIANT Miranda Malins youtube.com/shorts/vyuQNDm…

I’m holding forth on all things WW2 on the TRIGGERnometry - including refuting the latest ridiculous whacko-theory that somehow the war was all Churchill’s fault - thanks for inviting me on, chaps.

My review of 'KOREA: WAR WITHOUT END' by Robert Lyman 🇺🇦 and Richard Dannatt from Osprey Publishing for @BritJnlMilHist (@BritJnlMilHist.bsky.social) - the book is a groundbreaking new study of a conflict which is often referred to as the 'forgotten war' 👇drive.google.com/file/d/1fKm4EX…

History Book Buff Roger Moorhouse 🇺🇦 on his favourite #Hitler biographies - ahead of a new podcast tomorrow on "The Nazi Mind" by Laurence Rees. Spot the spelling mistake in the subtitles, where Antonia Senior's foreign language skills come to the fore. 🙄 youtube.com/shorts/Xjgiprs…
