If you’ve been lovely enough to support @pikegrey1418.bsky.social and I by purchasing a copy of Ring of Fire, please do leave a review everywhere you can. The same one is fine! It all makes a difference to algorithms etc online and makes us more visible

Today is the day! 😁The official release of Ring of Fire in the United States! @alexchurchill.bsky.social and I are super excited, and hope you'll all enjoy it! And if you are able to come, we will be in Kansas City on the 23rd to celebrate it! Details blow!😁

One thing @alexchurchill.bsky.social and @pikegrey1418.bsky.social's new book is very,very good at getting across is that no one has any good frame of reference and they're kind of stumbling around in the dark trying to figure out *what* it is

Not just the Western Front: "Ring of Fire" rediscovers WWI’s global story Historians Alexandra Churchill and Nicolai Eberholst reexamine the pivotal conflict from a grassroots perspective.

When @pikegrey1418.bsky.social and I sat down with @bigthink.com to talk all things 1914…

"In the Trenches" by Hungarian painter László Mednyánszky (1852-1919). During the war, Mednyánszky visited Galicia, Serbia and South Tyrol. He was wounded in 1918, fell ill and died the year after in his Vienna studio.

Good man for supporting the small indie store 💪💪💪 Hope you enjoy it 😀

A book: "Ring of Fire: A new global history of the outbreak of the first world war" by Alex Churchill and Nicolai Eberholst. The cover features a period map of Europe superimposed with illustrations of fighting men of the various countries. Its jolliness counterpoises the ghastly content.

Some words of praise for Ring of Fire by @alexchurchill.bsky.social and @pikegrey1418.bsky.social

This book seeks to give an account of the first weeks and months of WW1 not (only, primarily) through generals' memoirs and regimental histories but through the testimonies of those involved

Home from vacation (Hungary and Slovakia) and here's the book haul! Could have been more, but I'm happy! Damn you maximum luggage weight!!!

Absolutely a flawed individual, but I will always respect what he did for the music I love.

Thank you for everything! Legend!

Thank you Richard!!!

Thank you so much!!! Really glad you liked it 😁

I sometimes get distracted from the history of science by books on the first world war. This book is amazingly detailed in giving us the human perspective of the start of the war. It is a very very good read. Highly recommended!

Some from me, Stu. All top drawer imho. ESP @pikegrey1418.bsky.social / @alexchurchill.bsky.social as a popular history on a subject everyone thinks they know is hard to pull off. I also LOVED Martha Sprackland’s Citadel and Zaffir Kunial’s England’s Green & @alanallport.bsky.social’s Britain at Bay
