Today @sathnam.bsky.social joins me to talk about the little known story of British Malaya, the global rubber industry, Kew Gardens & the achievements, cruelties & legacies of Empire. Oh & I read a page from my upcoming (and related!) book #1945TheReckoning #WorldExclusive youtu.be/DooNNQDycMw?...
Delighted to announce that @sathnam.bsky.social is my guest on Sunday where he shares the story of Malaya and rubber - one of the many great tales of empire featured in his brilliant 'Empireworld'. And inspired by this, I do the first ever public reading from my own upcoming book #1945TheReckoning
Back in 2000 my kids used to love going through Finest Hour looking for all the swear words. But I fear that #1945TheReckoning is falling badly short in that department. Just 13 - poor show!
Many thank to Paul at
@ww2tv.bsky.social
for inviting me onto his show last night. My first chance to talk publicly about #1945TheReckoning & to thank him for creating a community of historians & readers, many of whom have helped me over the last two years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM4Z...
With #1945TheReckoning due next April, I endorse this message!
Prompted by the very generous early endorsement from @Marikacobbold below, I'm announcing today that my next book - which I'm still finishing - is now available for pre-order in all the obvious places. #1945TheReckoning www.amazon.co.uk/1945-Reckoni...
