Hugely satisfying getting author's copies of my book from @univpressofkansas.bsky.social Looks fantastic, phenomenal read too! I was delighted to give the very first copy to my Dad, who it's dedicated to! Haven't ordered one yet? Do! And if you have, let me know what you think!

It's official! Beyond Black Hawk Down is now available! Wouldn't be possible without the support of so many at @tamu.bsky.social @tamuartsci.bsky.social @smh-historians.bsky.social and of course @univpressofkansas.bsky.social and especially @kansasjoyce.bsky.social 1/

I had a brilliant time sitting down with @herberthistory.bsky.social to talk about Black Hawk Down the movie and the impending release of my book Beyond Black Hawk Down (@univpressofkansas.bsky.social) for the Historians at the Movies podcast... Link to the podcast is in the below thread! Enjoy!

Sat down recently with @herberthistory.bsky.social on his podcast Historians at the Movies to talk about Black Hawk Down the movie, what was accurate, what really happened in Somalia and my new book (out this week) Beyond Black Hawk Down. Watch this space for a link to the episode! #hatm.

The best part of being editor in chief for @warroomeds.bsky.social is advance copies of books. I met @the-irish-texan.bsky.social several years ago in College Station and seeing this develop into an award-winning book has been great fun. Podcast to air this summer! @univpressofkansas.bsky.social
