Well I survived my appearance in Hereford where I was helping promote a brand new military history festival coming there later this year. And I got a very fair hearing for some of the more ‘special forces sceptical’ passages of the book.

Many thanks Shantanu for this very perceptive and interesting review. I've not written much about India before and so to get a positive response like this is so gratifying. Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 may also be interested.

Delighted that Gill Hornby will join me on Sunday on The Scandal Mongers Podcast to talk about her latest - and brilliant - book and her continuing literary exploration of Jane Austen's family.

In S2 E1 of The Forgotten War Pod, Jack and Rob interview Lord Mark Slim, Uncle Bill's grandson. It's fascinating to hear the modest lifestyle of the big man, writing under the pseudonym Anthony Mills (= slliM) to supplement his army income, and also what Bill was like late in

Such an important thread below from Hannah Barnes I still find it hard to believe that she struggled to get her hugely acclaimed (on all side of politics) and award-winning science investigation published. Here's a clip from the interview I did with her for The Scandal Mongers Podcast - one

If you are currently planning your time at Chalke History Festival do please consider dropping in on Robert Lyman 🇺🇦 and me on the Thursday morning as we delve into some of the darker corners of 1945, and discuss what I call 'imperial muscle memory'.

Love, money. childbirth, scandal and death are what drive Jane Austen’s novels. Terrific conversation this week with writer Gill Hornby all about her imaginative new novel The Elopement, and how she gets under the skin of Austen’s extended family. youtu.be/mHFvqgl8Ivc?si…

In The Elopement Gill Hornby has created a world class villain - Sir Edward Knatchbull, 9th Baronet- and all based on his own words (words she was never meant to read!)

Feel very flattered that S. I. Rubinstein has given 1945 The Reckoning such a positive and interesting review - and pleased to be in the great company of Sam Dalrymple too!

This is a brilliant piece by S. I. Rubinstein, who is one of the most thoughtful commentators currently and well worth reading, and some praise in there for Phil Craig, of whom I'm also a fan.
