Great presentation, Iain. I'm excited to read your book. I like the approach of telling a multilayered story through four characters to humanize the history. Last month, I used this technique for a short story adapted from my #WW2TV show; perhaps it will evolve into a book.
We shall see... In the meantime, I'll have a look at your #WW2TV show for a preview.

Curious to see how "The Hiroshima Men" differs from Richard Rhodes' "The Making of the Atomic Bomb".
Another one for the #WW2TV and #histbookchat crews...
May be of interest to #WW2TV and #histbookchat folks.
Looks like the #WW2TV folks will find this of interest. I'm curious of what significance the 1931 start to the book is. From my more recent Asia-Pacific readings, I would be reaching farther back to understand Japan in #WWII, but maybe this is just about the conflict specifics?
Sounds like a #militaryhistory book the #WW2TV and #histbookchat cognoscenti would find interesting.
#WW2TV This may make for an interesting show with @ww2tv.bsky.social as part of the Special Forces in #WWII playlist.

With the average person watching that AI-generated video, how many of them would accept all that they saw & heard as fact? Compare this with the 'From Oblivion to Triumph' presentation on #WW2TV at www.youtube.com/live/dEebnwD... to better understand its problems.
Book cover of "1945: The Reckoning" by Phil Craig.
"1945: The Reckoning" by @philmcraig.bsky.social speaks to the global context of #Force136 and the making of modern Canada. The effort to achieve respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, happened at both national & international levels. See Phil on #WW2TV at www.youtube.com/live/OIvLXg6...
For #WW2TV and #histbookchat folks, this book will be of interest. Rana Mitter's endorsement is noteworthy. I'm looking forward to reading what Emily has to say on the topic.
Expect this should be of interest to some #histbookchat and #WW2TV folks...
To get a taste of the book, those interested may wish to watch Mark's appearance on #WW2TV with @ww2tv.bsky.social at www.youtube.com/live/48NdvhU....

Been a very long time since I've read it, but this was on #WW2TV today...

Got me thinking I should read Stille's book from @ospreypublishing.bsky.social and reread Prange.
Looks like a book the #WW2TV crew would appreciate. Is that the case, mate?
