Today I’m sharing my second book recommendation for the week, before normal service is resumed next week with my monthly feature in the shape of a slice of American pre-WW2 history.
I’d go so far as to say that Peter has yet to publish a book that wasn’t a gripping, if at times gruesome, narrative; basically he writes page turners, not always the case with military historians. Sad that I couldn’t be with you tonight but this book will be joining my library.
thank you! so glad I got drunk in Arras and asked you if I could write it lol. I will admit my sudden interest in the Nile Expedition comes partly from learning that Mannock senior (boo hiss) was with the desert column...

I've been trying to resist a Nile Expedition rabbit hole but it's CALLING ME 😱 gutted I can't make it to the launch event, hope all goes well!
Doooooooo it! The endurance article is amazing!
