Review by Andrew Breach in the Bridge:
“Black unpacks the interpretation of intra-state violence as a systematic coupling of beliefs, events, culture, and politics that has created lenses for both the insurgent and
counterinsurgent….”
Jeremy’s The World of James Bond is reviewed by The Washington Book Review:
“Black offers a historian’s take on Bond from the perspective of the late 2010s and the issues and questions of the period. Black assesses Bond in terms of the greatly changing world order of the Bond years, a life time that stretches from 1953 to the present.”
J. Tucci of the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies reviews Naval Warfare for Choice (extract follows):
“… Nevertheless, as a wealth of information about modern naval wars, offered with Black’s usual eloquence and sprinkling of quirky but fascinating tidbits, this history is a compelling read.”
Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries.

Jeremy reviews Dunkirk for the FPRI: read now.
“The image is clear, the message obvious. Across a sun-kissed meadow, dappled with shade, lines of British soldiers, resplendent in red, move slowly forward, while brave American Patriots crouch behind trees and stone walls ready to blast these idiots to pieces. Frequently repeated on page and screen, the image has one central message: one side, the American, represented the future in warfare, and one side, the American, was bound to prevail.”
