Over roughly 250 pages, the book not only introduces the socio-political background of oracle bones but also gently helps readers to recognize 甲骨文. This makes the book another fun way to study Oracle Bone Script. (5/5) #Sinology #histbookchat
A very brief look at Frank Carruthers’ story from my book. He operated a clandestine radio set and witnessed some of the horrors of the Holocaust during his time as a POW. #TheUndefeated #WW2books #HistBookChat
"Don't be fooled by the jolly cover. This is a highly researched historical account of how the last Christmas of the war was spent in various parts of the European theater." ~ Andy J-L

Just finished this. A tough read at times but essential and highly relevant. #histbookchat
This was a cracking holiday read, a real page turner that gives a vivid description of the man and his era. #histbookchat
Finished my weekend read 📖 I enjoyed @dgjones’s Henry V so much I upgraded from the PB to the HB.

I cannot recommend this book to highly. Meticulous research, beautifully written by Helen Castor. #histbookchat @books2cover and leads perfectly into @dgjones Henry V. Quite the historical treat.
Another ☀️ read 📖 Dated & western focused, Hackett broadly discusses the tradition of professional soldiering from ancient Greece & Rome through to the C20th. An 🇦🇺 serving in the @BritishArmy, he only makes a few remarks about his own pre-war & #WWII

Somehow my pile of “new” books to read has grown over the last few weeks. I blame @Phillip72850753 for increasing my collection relating to @BritishArmy generals 📚

I started “Masters” in January, put it down for a bit, & finished it head of #NYE. It is a tour de force. It brings together the decisions of the higher command, aircrew, civilians & POWs. Yet it’s very much focused on people’s experiences.

This week, I have been re-reading the amazing first biography of Juan Carlos by @PaulPreston8 . It's such a brilliant read, with so much detail that explains a great deal! #histbookchat #FridayVibes #WeekendVibes #NewYear2025
Ian Gibson's autobiography is long awaited & a huge breath of fresh air. As a #Hispanist I loved it! #histbookchat #ireland #España
The history of the British Army's fall from grace in 1940 after victory in 1918 along with the background to the build-up to #WW2. Well worth reading. #histbookchat #May1940 #dunkerque #WW2HISTORY #ww1history
It's been a very busy year, but despite this, here are my 2024 top 12 reads. Quite a big mix of old & new + some in #Spanish. A few I already read a while ago & others which were new! In no particular order of preference here go my short thoughts & comments... #histbookchat
I really need to stop buying POW memoirs but every time I say I’m done another one catches my eye! #HistBookChat
#histbookchat #PhotoFriday. I've been quite busy ordering some second-hand books for 2025! This lot is waiting for me back in #Yorkshire along with a surprise boxfull! #beginnibgtolooklikechristmas
A copy of “In the Fight” is on its way to Dr SOE in Burma @richard_duckett in the UK. I’m very pleased to have made a modest new contribution to the field.
