An incredible turnout for @Levisonwood book launch - the incredible, harrowing, uplifting account of Operation Pitting. What took place at Hamid Karzai Airport demonstrated the worst and the best of humanity. This is important.

@FranOSullivan Reprehensible. But from the state broadcaster?

I was appalled by this snide, betraying attack on the brilliant, kind Joanna Grochowicz after her piece for @Perspective_tw on NZ Covid policy. But Karl du Fresne is spot on here. Woe betide those who fall out of step with the enforcers https://t.co/VtaZ28o0JS

Anne Fletcher’s book is a revelation with Lois Evans, emerging a working class heroine of polar misadventure. My review in the Polar Journal https://t.co/IKR567NS70

@Jdcrawf @GeographicalMag @canongatebooks @annaframe Truly one if the most engrossing and enlightening books I’ve read this year.

[James Crawford @Jdcrawf]

'Borders are indeed a dirty affair, but as Crawford’s excellent book demonstrates, they are also fascinating'
Thanks @GrochowiczJ for this lovely review in latest @GeographicalMag!

[Anne Fletcher @Annecfletcher]

Thank you @GrochowiczJ for this wonderful review in the latest @GeographicalMag
'There have been other books about polar wives...But where Fletcher’s contribution adds heft is in her detailed comparison of three women whose personal tragedies became public property' #Antarctica

In the June 2022 issue of The Polar Journal, @NinaBGallo asks "does the world really need another book about #Shackleton?" - and concludes that when it is the new title by @GrochowiczJ the answer is "yes" https://t.co/JpZEvKn5q4
