My next non-fiction book will be 1217: The Battles That Saved England, an analysis of the three pivotal engagements (a siege, a battle on land and a battle at sea) that saw off the attempted French invasion of England in the early thirteenth century. The cover design has been revealed, and doesn’t it look great?

The book will be published in May 2024, and is now available for pre-order from the Osprey website.
