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.

Bade farewell to Antony, who has got quite a while longer here, then headed back to Washington and straight to NARA. All my files from earlier in the week were still waiting for me, so I finished off and then headed back to the trusty old Quality Inn in College Park. NARA quite depressing after the bonhomie of MHI.
