Another lovely review for my book “Tides of Defiance” 🙏 thank you. Available on Amazon wherever you are or from @barnthorn .

[Horace Camp @oldfarmhorace]

@Nickleh Finally got around to your podcast. Now you know I don't pull any punches and tell it as I see it completely devoid of empathy. Well, I love it and now have a back catalogue to binge listen to. You and Mr P work well together and I like the occasional ehs and a cheerful chiri which I don't get from the Pub Landlord.🫡

@Nickleh I’m halfway through your book, Nick. Your level of research is off the scale.

Packing to go home tomorrow. Such a privilege to have been invited to be the author in residence in Masnières this week.

Very impressed with the work the students and staff put into studying my book and also their work on the Occupation of the Channel Islands. @barnthorn

Rather chuffed with the latest reviews of my book. 🙏

[JMcN (@jmcn.bsky.social) @james_2904]

I finished this terrific book this afternoon. @Nickleh shines a light into a forgotten corner of SWW history. Plus I don’t get stripped of my low IC number for reading too many German history books. Seriously a good book, bit of a myth buster in my view.

@HistoryRage @YourselfReview @NeededRoads @whattheausten @NapWarsPod @FightingOnFilm @HistoryB00KBuff @JemDuducu @historywjackson Good luck!

If you are looking for something to do on Sunday 24th May I am leading a walking tour around St Peter Port as part of the Spring Walking Festival.

It looks like the weather will be good for an easy stroll around town to learn about defiance, danger and liberation.
