Thank you so much. I am glad you enjoyed them. I suspect it is my fault they did not get the attention, I have been in the Middle East for the last four years and therefore did not market/promote them very well!
Let me also recommend me these first class books from @benkite1. I looked them out to comment upon the latest @forgottenwarpod. Good books that didn’t get the attention they deserved in my opinion.

Giving @benkite1 's brilliant 'Stout Hearts' ( @Helionbooks ) a gentle refresh. I can’t recommend this book highly enough!

A very interesting piece from Brunel University on events over the weekend. Worth a read intelligencestudiesreview.bl…

I really enjoyed chairing this panel at the 32nd Australian Institute for Professional Intelligence Officers’ (AIPIO) annual conferences (a fantastic event). Some amazing panelists and great questions from the audience.

I loved reading Gerry McKay’s vivid book on his experiences as an Australian Infantry Platoon Commander in Vietnam. I understand it is quite well known in Australia, but I would also commend it to a wider international audience.
Just bought this cigarette/card case to put my business cards in. Do any of my historian friends have any suggestions on which regiment ‘The Dukes’ might be referring to and who B.I.F. Might be?
Excited to be speaking at the Security Leaders’ Summit at Intersec 2023 on the 17 January 2023. Look forward to sharing my views, experiences and thoughts at the session invt.io/1txbf6i6fk2

This will be worth buying!
So after years of challenges bringing new, diverse & muted history to market, I'm pleased to say the full manuscript and images are going into my publisher in a matter of days.
450,000 words of analysis & veteran voices over 2 vols.

There are far better books to read now and in my opinion unfairly bashed Monty and Brit/Canadian Forces. Try Montys Men by John Buckley, Sand &Steel @militaryhistori Normandy 44 @James1940 Stout Heart @benkite1 and watch videos on @WW2TV channel.
Great photo - this wonderful book captures the battle superbly. A must read! @James1940
All good things come to an end eventually. Today, after almost 33 years, was my final day in the Army. Looking forward to a new civilian role in Abu Dhabi with A T Kearney.
This is a fantastic book. Well written and gives great perspectives on Normandy onwards. I learnt a tremendous amount about the Vickers Medium Machine Guns in it.
