In the first part of our July/August crime round-up, @NJCooper_crime reviews thrillers by @ClaireAllan, @MarkBillingham, @IsabelleGrey, @SabineDurrant, @davidgilmanuk, , @evecsmith & @OneNightStanzas.
Great essay by Seán Williams @WiggishHistory in @Lit_Review
A small country "may not have aircraft carriers or regiments of tanks. But guided by an unerring moral compass, it can triumph over even the most fearsomely armed opponent." https://twitter.com/WiggishHistory/status/1278425792385613835
'Like many works that touch on Churchill, this book takes on some of his characteristics: a jaunty prose style, a capacity for confident generalisation and a whiff of bullshit.'
Richard Vinen is unpersuaded by 'The Churchill Myths'.
