I have kindly been sent a copy of @authordlewis latest book SAS Great Escapes Five @QuercusBooks by @soph_ransompr. Before I review it though I listened to Damien discussing it with @olliewcq on @histbookclubpod. A great chat and far more than a book plug

🥂 A triumphant launch for @authordlewis's GREAT ESCAPES FIVE at the @I_W_M Churchill War Rooms last night, hosted by @historywjackson.
Wonderful to be joined by so many of the relatives of the heroes featured in the book.

For those who are new to my page, welcome to my official and only X account!
I’m Dr Helen Fry. I’ve written and edited more than twenty-five books on British intelligence, spies, espionage and have a particular interest in the 10,000 German and Austrian-Jewish refugees who fought for Britain during the Second World War.
I’m widely recognised as the leading authority on the ‘Secret Listeners’ and the bugging of Hitler’s generals at Trent Park and other UK clandestine sites. I am also the official biographer of the elusive MI6 spymaster Colonel Thomas Joseph Kendrick.
I regularly advise television and drama productions, appear in media interviews worldwide, and have had the incredible honour to cover major D-Day commemorations for the BBC.
I’m currently working on my next book with my publisher @YaleBooks, but sorry, absolutely no hints yet!
Feel free to browse my page - I hope you learn something new!
This brilliant piece by @authordlewis (published online yesterday) is in print today in the @Telegraph. It's taken a cut to make it fit, so do check out the full thing online
