It’s a big day. Just taken delivery of pre-order copies of Michael Payne’s sensational autobiography ‘Fast Tracks and Dark Deals’. Our biggest book to date, by size, by complexity, by number of pre-orders, by initial print run. Looking forward @gardnersbooks.bsky.social getting it round the world.

6 years ago today I had the honour to be at Arromanches at dawn on D-Day75, at the start of a 44km (actually over 50km due to security diversion for Macron) stroll along the landing beaches, ending at Pegasus Bridge. Amazing experience and a great way to remember the sacrifices made in 1944. #DDay

It is just a month before you can read about the greatest all arms manoeuvre battle of WW2 (you probably have never heard of it - YET!): ‘Thunder Run: Meiktila 1945’ by @historybowsh.bsky.social available for pre-order Chiselbury (with great discount), @waterstones.bsky.social #Amazon
