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.

Diary of Writing Italy’s Sorrow

May 8, 2007
I was thinking I could save some pages in the finished book by posting my Sources and Bibliography on this website, but my brother, Tom, has told me that it be bad form to do so and that it should definitely feature in the finished book.  So I’ve been writing it up, but it is taking for ages, and really, I need to start getting on with the next project – the first in the Jack Tanner series.  Anyway, I’m going to post it up here as well.
