Child holding a book titled Joining Up In The Second World War
It’s real and I’ve got one!
Daughter’s honest and accurate review: “It doesn’t have so many pictures.” She’s not wrong. If you need pictures this isn’t for you, but if you like free access to new First and Second World War history then download it here: www.manchesterhive.com/display/9781...

The Waterstones promotion ends later today so it’s your last chance to get 25% off preorders of Songs of Seven Dials.
Preorders make such a difference to new books: if you can order or share I would be very grateful.
