10 May 2017
For anyone reading this blog for the first time, I completed a PhD in history as a mature student in 2014, and am now a Visiting Research Fellow at Kings College London. My book, Winning the Peace: The British in occupied Germany, 1945-1948, was published by Bloomsbury Academic in January 2017. In my view, history is a process of discovery. I started writing this blog in October 2005 and since then have posted around 140 articles.
I have listed below all articles published on this blog since 21 July 2011. For earlier posts, see:
