Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I'm James Burrows. I'm a military and history expert, and my fascination with military history began when I was young, inspired by captivating tales from my family – one grandfather was a former POW who spent four years in a camp in Poland, and my great-grandfather fought bravely at the Somme. This ignited a lifelong passion for historical narratives.

My expertise spans a wide array of topics, from the intricate battles of World War II to the epic sagas of Greek and Egyptian Mythology, the reigns of Roman Emperors, and the conquests of Alexander the Great.

Through my writing, I hope to bring the past to life for young people through engaging stories, real voices, and unforgettable facts,

When not working or spending time with my wife and children, I can be found walking my two beautiful black labradors in the local countryside, pondering ideas for my next book!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Teen’s Guide to Understanding the Vietnam War
    Reviewed in Australia on 3 December 2024
    Verified Purchase
    This is an engaging introduction to one of the most controversial conflicts in U.S. history. Written with young readers in mind, the book offers a balanced exploration of the Vietnam War, breaking down complex topics into digestible sections. It covers the war's causes, key battles, and the heroic acts of soldiers while shedding light on the immense public backlash and how the conflict reshaped American society. It provides a fair account of both the pro-war and anti-war sides, encouraging readers to form their own opinions.

    To make the content accessible, the book glosses over certain nuances of the war, such as the complexities of Vietnamese perspectives, and teens already familiar with the conflict might find it too basic.
