long weekend, long memories
As you probably know, the reason for this (American) long weekend is to honor the memory of those who died while serving their country. As ever, I’ll be thinking about my friend Marty, who died 30 years ago so heartbreakingly, so needlessly, and so close to Memorial Day.
It also feels like a good time to share a podcast on which I was recently invited to speak about military fiction. The story we c

George Washington's Secret Six: The Spy Ring That Saved the American Revolution:
"I never write reviews but just wanted to add to the comments about the writing of this book being very juvenile. I just rewatched the SNL skit where George Washington is telling his men about the US system of measurements and couldn't help but imagin"

“If you weren’t there during one of those firefights you wouldn’t be able to get your head around it. Hell, I was in plenty of firefights, and I’m not sure I know what went on over there. The VC understood us better than we did them, but nobody’s got a lock on the whole story. Certainly not a bunch of drunk old grunts.”

“Whilst the men and women involved in the July Plot of 1944 are generally regarded as heroes, it should be remembered that few, if any, intended to replace the Nazi regime with anything approaching a modern representative democracy. Stauffenberg and others were in favour of retaining much of the territory that Germany had seized from Poland in 1939 and wished to negotiate an end to the conflict only with the Western Allies – they fully intended to continue the war in the east against the Soviet Union. They planned to insist that Germany would not be occupied by any foreign power at the end of the war, and that prosecution of any war criminals would be a matter purely for German courts.”
