Nice to be back in @historytoday.com after a wee gap of 15 years, with a few thoughts on Alec Ryrie’s new ‘The Age of Hitler and How We Will Survive It’. Interesting, enjoyable, not entirely persuasive but I have tried to disagree well.

Thoroughly recommend the ‘Erinnerung ist….’ installation at the newly reopened @nsdoku.bsky.social - the centre is a model of how imparting foundational knowledge and embracing new multi-perspectival approaches can go hand in hand.

Some of you know that I had a wee accident in June, ending in a Mountain Rescue and Coastguard airlift, and some of you were kind enough to chip into our fundraiser. Your generosity went towards these new lightweight stretchers, helping the remarkable Torridon MRT in their amazing work. Thank you!
