I am a historian of the Second World War and the aim of this site is to enable others to access some of the research I have carried out over the past few years,
and to encourage people to exchange ideas and views about a wide range of subjects relating to the conflict.
On this site you will find an oral history archive with transcriptions of many of the interviews
I have conducted with veterans of the war from many different countries, and there are also blogs, comment pieces, book reviews,
suggested reading, and also contributions from other leading historians in this field.
I hope you find it interesting.

Another day at NARA. Found some really interesting stuff in the OSS files, but still no mention of the Stella Rossa. Also looked at the 88th Division files and spent some time upstairs going through some of the photographs they have for Italy.
