I share stories on the first Monday of each month about Winston Churchill, World War II, and my book about the clash between the French and British Navies in the summer of 1940. Recent newsletters are shown below. The tiny “OLDER” link at the bottom of this page allows you to jump back to several years worth of these monthly letters.

I hope you will subscribe.
