Hi and thanks for visiting my website.

I am writing this on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two; to mark the occasion I have written a new book – Lest We Forget – War and Peace in 100 British Monuments, Selected as one of Waterstones’ books for April, with ‘inspiring and eye  opening’ content, it examines the inspirations and individuals behind our memorial-studded country. I travelled the length and breadth of the United Kingdom on a quest to uncover a story of national warring and national mourning, of fighting each other and of fighting together and I was lucky enough to interview a stellar cast of veterans, military experts and families of the fallen. Lest We Forget – freedom is not free.

In other news I have started doing a brand new podcast with the inimitable Iain Dale who has got me through the doors of Global. Do please join us bi-weekly for Where Politics Meets History – like, share, subscribe! Likewise to my YouTube channel where I am about to start posting more often.

All best wishes and please do get in touch – on the social media platform of your choice! Or even old fashioned email…
