#OTD Tucked away in their heavily guarded section of the XX BG airbase, on the island of #Tinian in the Marianas chain, technicians from the #ManhattanProject begin stage 1 of the assembly of 'Little Boy' uranium gun-type bomb delivered by the USS Indianapolis. #TheHiroshimaMen

'In an era where nuclear rhetoric once again creeps into global headlines, this book could not be more urgent. MacGregor’s work does not just revisit history; it demands reflection on our present.' @WeHaveWaysPod bestreviewsclub.com/the-hiroshima-…

Yes, terrible when the opposition is awarded a contentious decision by a referee not from your hemisphere isn't it @wallabies @lionsofficial m.youtube.com/watch?v=XPzNfu…

Poor WILSON!!

Book complete, PR almost over for now ... time to take some research titles to the charity shop. Hope they like Japan WWII era!

#OTD 1945, the allies issue the #PotsdamDeclaration: "We call upon the government of Japan to proclaim now the unconditional surrender of all Japanese armed forces." the day before Gen Thomas Handy ordered the atomic bomb be used, “as soon as weather will permit visual bombing,”.

Thanks @JapanToday for discussing my research on Hiroshima. @ScribnerBooks japantoday.com/category/natio…

Netanyahu has overseen slaughter in Gaza, the decimation of the reputation of Israel and the radicalisation of a new generation of terrorists. I hope more pro Israel voices will see what a disaster he has been not just for Israel but the wider world thetimes.com/article/9f7308…

Somewhere ... in this grand cathedral ... I am giving my talk in shorts and a T-shirt as it is an OVEN. #SouthwarkHistoryFestival

Lovely event at @BuxtonFestival this afternoon despite @AvantiWestCoast best efforts to derail it (sorry!).

#OTD, 17 July 1945, Truman, Stalin & Churchill commenced their first conference together at #Potsdam. The making of the post-war world began. Truman later that day confided in his diary: "I can deal with Stalin. He is honest but smart as hell.” #TheHiroshimaMen

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better
