I like big books and I cannot lie…

I’m going to be around all weekend, waffling about all sorts of wars - come join us at Duxford for a packed programme! www.iwm.org.uk/events/iwm-d...

I was so determined to do this episode! A fantastic book stacked with imagination and much hilarity…

We want to make our conference as accessible as possible - so here’s a chance to win your place, including hotel and if you’re UK based, including travel too!

What did impending doom look like to the people of Strasbourg in August 1870? achurchill.substack.com/p/article-fo...

More from the Brittany book villlage! Today it’s three gem firsthand accounts from the Pacific #WW2

This book is epic - and this interview was so much fun!

I’ve just learned that magic wand in French is literally “magic baguette” and I think I might die laughing

Oops. More war books 📚🤦🏼‍♀️

Reeling staff, new armies and an overwhelming resolve to get sh*t done. Kitchener arriving at the war office in 1914 was very much “Daddy’s home”. achurchill.substack.com/p/article-ki...

I have photos of outdoor wards for recovering soldiers in #WW1 too. Awesome idea.

This is my vibe this week.

I’m laughing my head off because apparently nobody was injured #fuckbillionaires #Karma

The French book village haul! Part Un! #WW2 🇫🇷

Join a bunch of disgruntled young Frenchmen as they deal a hammer blow in the south of France in 1944… By blowing up whole pile of locomotives… achurchill.substack.com/p/article-bl...

The swag from the book village in Brittany is up… #Bookslutting 📚

So @peterhart.bsky.social has won it before and so has graciously said he doesn’t mind if you pick us instead.* *This is a lie. Have you met him??!

Just a reminder that @pikegrey1418.bsky.social and I are immensely proud of the fact that Ring of Fire has been nominated for book of the year. If you appreciated the four years we put into it and would be kind enough to cast a vote, we would appreciate it www.military-history.org/books/mhm-bo...

Good morning from an entire village full of second hand bookshops in Brittany. I may have disgraced myself.

Anyone that lives under the preconception that all French people are a model of sophistication and culture, hold my drink. Come with me to Normandy for a drunk old lady, a sheeps head, a widow known as Big Jeanne and a tedious #WW1 veteran achurchill.substack.com/p/true-crime...

Shockingly… more books… All about the sniffing…

Oops. French book haul part three! Still not sorry!

As my best friend funds a week in Brittany so we can eat all the French bread and cheese he sent me this. Rude. But completely accurate 😆

TONIGHT

Honestly if you want to cast a vote for us based on merit I’d prefer that to “vote for my vagina” 😆😆😆 You’ll not catch me grovelling for special consideration on account of my gender 😆😆 I’ll just settle for being good at my job and it not even coming into play 🙏🏼

Proud of this nomination for Ring of Fire. @pikegrey1418.bsky.social & I tried hard to write a military book not solely on combatants. If you appreciated it please consider voting 🙏🏼 www.military-history.org/books/mhm-bo... @iaindale.bsky.social @thehistoryguy.bsky.social @charliehigson.bsky.social

Contemplating the giant pile of book shame from France… #NotSorry Pt.I of 5 (!) 🤦🏼‍♀️

Jury spokesperson translation: Thank you for the amazing show tonight Means: “Thank you for rinsing half a billion Euros on this mayhem so none of us had to.” #Eurovision

On the points giving shit off I feel like we’ve proper punked the rest of the continent. Then the Latvians left us for dust…

Literally want to club him with that violin.

🇪🇸 , 🇳🇱 , 🇮🇪 , 🇮🇸 & 🇸🇮 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I love Norton - but if Benassi’s Satisfaction gets the 10 is deserves then this is a 4, tops. Austria playing a blinder at purposely not winning so you don’t have to pay to host it next year…

If they did a yearbook of tonight’s contestants #Romania 🇷🇴 would be “most likely to end up dismembering another act and disposing of the body parts”
