About the author

I was raised in Grantham, Lincolnshire and attended the King's Grammar School after passing the Eleven Plus exam. In the latter I clearly remember writing an essay on Oliver Cromwell – my first piece of military writing.

Then came a BA in history and international relations at Nottingham followed by a Master of Philosophy course at the University of York. The subject was the generalship and cavalry of Prince Rupert of the Rhine, my boyhood hero, during the English Civil War. The year I spent researching and writing at York, Oxford and at the British Library in London was a truly wonderful time.
I moved to London and eventually joined a small publishing company as an editor. Thus began my writing career.

Według tego pana to Polska chyba się tej wojnie tylko przyglądała.

A one stop shop of statistical information for everything you need to know about WWII. It includes armies, battles, weapons and casualties. This would be a great book to keep as a companion when reading other stories of the same subject manner.

Straight-forward statistics about battles, ships, tanks, artillery, etc. Mostly has extensive lists, but also some photographs and exposition.
