My book “Wolfpack: Inside Hitler’s U-Boat War” will be published by @BasicBooks in the US, and @WmCollinsBooks in the UK, in October. Do look out for it.

Merz and Macron met in Berlin last night. There appears to be genuine warmth between the two men. But the “Merzcron” bromance can’t detract from the divergence of national interests in crucial areas like energy and defence. My brief analysis @unherd 👇 unherd.com/newsroom/macro…
