This is great. As an enthusiastic supporter of the entente cordiale I'm consistently let down by our French cousins.
This weekend's @TheTimes column - on the Rosetta Stone, Napoleon's military ineptitude and the shameless impertinence of our Gallic friends.

This is outstanding stuff from @Tonisenior & @HistoryB00KBuff Gorgeous scenery and following in the footsteps of Napoleon. Watching smug as the French fail to pay their bills, unlike Wellington's army of angels during the Peninsula Campaign - just don't mention Badajoz. .
I walked over the Alps in the footsteps of Napoleon. Ok, he had more canon. But I had more middle-aged knees. And no mule. Find the full video on You Tube: search History Book Buffs

Ukraine War is 3+ yrs now, & @colinfreeman99 has written a thrilling book on Ukraine's Foreign Legion, so it was a great pleasure to get him on the @AspectsHistory pod to discuss their motivations, courage and struggles. Little romance to be found. Wherever you get your podcasts
