We’ve teased a lot - now it’s official. @pikegrey1418.bsky.social and I are going to be guests of the National World War I museum in Kansas City on 23rd August. For all Americans who want to come out to play, more info: www.theworldwar.org/events/ring-... @pegasusbooks.bsky.social

So, finished this today. I’m probably slightly biased as authors @alexchurchill.bsky.social and @pikegrey1418.bsky.social are friends and fellow @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social trustees, but it’s really an excellent read. Covers a lot of ground in a very readable writing style…..

Right, let’s see what this is all about then shall we? I know the effort that @alexchurchill.bsky.social and @pikegrey1418.bsky.social have put into it. @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social #ringoffire #greatwar #ww1
