According to the author, this makes good a promise he made to Richard Madeley on the British TV chat show Richard & Judy that he would “write the novel” of the Charge of the Light Brigade. His first novel, “Hell's Mile,” was published in 2020. He is best known for his research on the Charge of the Light Brigade, published in “Hell Riders: The True Story of the Charge of the Light Brigade.” But according to Publishers Weekly it was his work on three Second World War generals, “Patton, Montgomery, Rommel: Masters of War” that moved him “into the top rank of general audience military writers.” In his controversial extended essay, The MAGA Offensive, published by Hard Corps Essays in September 2020, he argues that "the re-election of President Donald Trump is crucial for the survival of the real USA and the core values of Western culture." His work is published in the U.K., the U.S., and in translation around the world.
