If you're in or around London on Saturday, this is going to be a really interesting half day event at the Imperial War Museum
I think. Very pleased to be taking part in it www.iwm.org.uk/events/iwm-l...

Hey UK & HK - the paperback of Her Lotus Year: China, The Roaring Twenties and the Making of Wallis Simpson is out in paperback everywhere in shops and online now from @eandtbooks.bsky.social for under a tenner! And you get a gorgeous Cecil Beaton cover!

I saw this tremendous book off the plot this evening. As they say Roger Moorhouse has knocked it out of the park. Highly recommended. #histbookchat

Well I very much enjoyed by evening in Hawthorn on Friday !

Am loving being back in my all time favourite city

A slightly past its prime Sydney institution that’s recently tried to rebrand itself.

And a hotel.

Guilty as charged

Reckoning in the East: How World War II Unmade Empire Phil Craig’s stunning ‘1945: The Reckoning’ restores Asia’s war to the centre of Empire’s collapse.In the immediate years after 1945, the story of the Second World War was primarily told through a Wes...

Well this was nice www.theperfectvoice.in/post/reckoni...

All depends on when you were 16 I think, in my case punk and in yours Glen Miller

At the WACA. With a pie. And a chilled beverage. I mean just give me the passport already! 🇦🇺

And I got to meet two of her children!

Oh and maybe you could take a minute to share your opinion with Amazon reviews? Yours, cheekily…

Thanks so much Norma. I am a little bit in love with Angela as was probably obvious!!

I finished listening to “1944: The Reckoning” by @philmcraig.bsky.social today, and now I’m sad because I didn’t want it to end! I got attached to many of the people he profiles in the book (especially nurse Angela). I’m going to have to listen again from the start. Beautiful book, well narrated!

Having read "1945: The Reckoning by @philmcraig.bsky.social, I thought I would revisit Bernstein's "China 1945" to carry on the theme. Highly recommended for those who've come across the "Who lost China?" question and want to explore in more depth.
