Red Sun At War Part Three

I'm the creator of this site and the Explaining History ebook series, I work as a writer, editor, teacher, publisher and history consultant for magazines, radio and television. If you're looking for advice for a book, website, tv or radio programme, you can contact me for a discussion here. I've lived in some rather unlikely places around the world, travelled across Siberia, wandered across Australia and been mercilessly conned by taxi drivers in Delhi and I'd like to think I've learned something from these experiences. When I can really distill whatever that learning is, and if it's more profound than anything a million other people have to say, I will share it with you all. I've been a journalist, a farm hand, a bookseller, a debt collector (which believe me, is nothing short of rank hypocrisy on my part) lecturer in history and pop culture, and most recently a good old fashioned high school teacher. My what an honour; there are actually few things more satisfying to the soul than to help someone to understand the world they've been born into a little better. The books I write are meant to be quick and easy to absorb guides to parts of history that are essential to our understanding of the world we're in today. They are meant to be a start to your journey, not the journey in itself, so if you're interested in one topic and want to know more, read on, or ask me and I'll send you recommendations for other writers and historians. If there's something you're interested in and I haven't covered it, drop me a line and I'll either write it or put you in touch with someone who can help.
