Fighting Joe Hooker - A Reassessment… My contribution to the #acwrtuk 2024 Conference on the Atlanta Campaign. How to make the Western Campaign about another Easterner... youtu.be/u7-JyX7QakM?si…
Gone a bit overboard with the Ken Trotman Seven Years War reprints, but they’re easier to come by than decent originals… 📚
As promised a further contribution to the Napoleonic Wars memoirs section of my library and a further contribution to the @GloverGareth Canada trip 🫡📚
Yesterday’s deliveries: the Buckley bio and the Buckley button! Now to avoid accusations of bias if someone could please point me in the direction of a Vidal for Congress button please! 🤣 📚
Buckley (and Vidal) is history right…?

My limited efforts to keep @GloverGareth in the style to which he’d like to be come accustomed continue. There will be more before this month ends! Napoleonic memoirs galore! 📚 🇬🇧
More Boxer Rebellion content care of Abebooks. The memoirs of the Italian Ambassador and “The Artists’ Perspective”. I also love American, Polly Condit-Smith’s comment on how far things had gone in the legations at the high of the siege… 📚 🇮🇹 🇨🇳
Another charity shop prize: the Boer War with “Volunteers on the Veld” from the Campaigns and Commanders series which covers many wars (and of which I have dozens). 📚 🇬🇧 🇿🇦
Sometimes you don’t know how much you value a friend until they gift you a book by Teddy Roosevelt 🤣📚
A haul from over the last week from the latest @navalmilitary sale. Been looking for the Chelmsford book for awhile. The Napoleonic books were grabbed on a whim 🤷🏻♂️ 📚
