PhD projects

Topics concerning the origins of the Second World War, the early part of that conflict in the Mediterranean and Middle East, and the Suez Crisis are of particular interest.In 2025 a PhD on British Leyland was completed (co-supervised with Drs. Dick and Francis). Past supervisions have included the role of the Greek press during the Greek-Turkish War (1920-22), subsequently published as a monograph, and the Turkish invasion of Cyprus (1974).

Research activity per year

Research interests

I am currently working on three related books: one on the prelude to Operation Compass, another on Operation Compass, and a third on Defending Greece against Nazi Germany. The first two are well developed and should appear in 2026 and 2027. The third needs substantive further research to bring it to fruition.
