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.

Back in Italy again with Julia. Getting decent flights has been a problem because I left it a little late. There must also be something going on in Bologna because all the flights there were unbelievably pricey. So instead we flew to Pisa, picked up a car and drove a short way along the motorway before stopping for the night.
