    My latest book is on Poland’s September Campaign of 1939. “First to Fight” in the UK “Poland 1939” in the US, & “Polska 1939” in Poland. It won the Polish Foreign Ministry History Prize 2020, and was shortlisted for the Wellington History Medal. Enjoy!

    Why would the Chinese authorities not want an investigation into the origins of the virus? What could they possibly have to hide?

    Out walking the dog and hugely enjoying ‘s podcast on the Battle of Brunanburh - part of his “Love Letter to the British Isles” series. Excellent listening. Appropriately, the dog is investigating Grimm’s Ditch...

    Attention English uni students! I know some people aren't getting enough feedback from tutors at the moment, and I wanted to say feel free to get in touch if you want a quick tutorial over Zoom or feedback on an essay. I used to tutor A-Level/degree and I really miss it!

    I am not sure how it can be any clearer: the Chinese Regime is simply murderous, corrupt and totalitarian. At the very least we need to accept HKers for political asylum. Money clearly talks, given the slave labour used to produce goods for our markets. There is no morality here.

    BREAKING: Almost every single candidate that ran in the 2020 opposition Hong Kong primary has been reportedly arrested. This is the largest mass arrest of pro-Democracy figures by the CCP under Hong Kong's new national security law.

    This is shameful behaviour by Beijing’s rulers. Failure to investigate and to use the world’s experts puts everyone at risk of a repeat and particularly those who are closest - the Chinese people.

    Yes, it’s very important now that the citizenry are locked in their homes that their reading and viewing should also be restricted. No non-approved views permitted. What could possibly go wrong?

    I don't just want Johnson to say "Stay home, save lives" etc. I want him to call out and ridicule the bullshit anti-maskers, lockdown skeptics and denialists in his own party - and order social media platforms to suppress/label Covid disinformation. That's leadership.

    In September 1939, as German forces invaded Poland, a box containing police documents was buried in a field to hide it from the occupiers. After being accidentally rediscovered by a farmer 75 years later, its contents have now been painstakingly restored

    5 January 1919. The German Workers’ Party (DAP), led by Anton Drexler (pictured) was founded in Munich, Germany. Its chief aim was to win over the masses from socialism by stressing nationalism. It was this party that became the Nazi Party in February 1920.

    Last chance to sign up for ' series of online talks on the Great Escape. Guy is the author of the best book on the subject and is a great communicator!

    Just 30 mins to go! Won't be tweeting much more about this, honest! It ends at 1930, so enough time to have a quick supper before the PM (and doubtless Lockdown 3) at 2000...

    Ever wonder how someone could be a guard in Auschwitz or an arctic gulag camp, and yet accept it as a virtuous task? Because a certain percent of any population will believe anything they are told, no matter how fantastic or murderous it is, as long as it fits their worldview.
