New book 📖 ‼️ Rich in personal stories, this work is a tribute to @AustralianArmy PoWs in Italy in #WWII, some of whom became escapers, evaders & partisans in the fight against fascism.

[Jonathan Fennell @jonathanfennell]

Bowled over by Jonathan Boff's review of COLLAPSE in this month's @Lit_Review! ‘Original and thought-provoking … Collapse represents an ambitious and scholarly achievement ... it sets a new standard for writing the history of warfare’.

A v good day!

Great to see the publication of Collapse, volume one of a new trilogy on the Second World War, by our very own @jonathanfennell

[Jonathan Fennell @jonathanfennell]

Book of the Week in @thetimes! 'Fennell marshals a host of original insights and judgments in a narrative of terrific verve ... a superb book' says Max Hastings.

The stuff of dreams!

SWWRG Vice-President @rjhammond215 has just been appointed Co-Editor of War in History. He joins Lance Blyth and fellow SWWRG Vice-President Kathryn Barbier as Co-Editors.

[Lance R Blyth @mtn_war]

With some excitement (and trepidation) I have accepted the invitation of Sage Journals to serve as a co-Editor for War in History alongside Kathryn Barbier of Mississippi State University and Richard Hammond of the University of Brunel.
War in History is a peer reviewed journal that publishes articles on war in all its aspects: economic, social, political and military including the study of naval forces, maritime power and air forces, as well as more narrowly defined military matters with no restriction as to period.
Wish me luck!

[Dr Michelle Walker (/Moffat) 🇳🇿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @MMoffski]

How did the Second World War change rural Scotland? Did people take holidays during the war? What was the overall state of Scottish morale?
