BBC History Magazine

I am currently writing a piece for the BBC History magazine which places the battle known as The Glorious First of June – the third volume of my Hearts of Oak Trilogy – within the broader context of Britain’s most historically significant naval actions. Such a list is different from what we might expect because it is not Britain’s top ten crushing victories. Several notable British naval failures will be included as well as some thought-provoking ideas about the influence of naval power upon history. Follow my blog and Tweets @navalhistoryguy for updates!

I will also soon be posting details of my next book, which I have just finished writing, and which will be published in October 2012.
