Happy new year and thanks for reading, commenting on and liking my blog in 2015.
I will probably be posting a bit less in the next few months as I have signed a contract to write a book based on my PhD thesis on British Strategy and Oil 1914-1923, so will be prioritising that, but will keep the blog going.
War and Security 
Congratulations on your book contract.
Thank you for your very interesting post this year. But don’t worry about us – concentrate on your book, and I’m with Mr Gray.
Best wishes on your book.
Good luck Martin and VMT for some very interesting material!
Thanks for the kind words. I will make a few posts over the coming months to keep the blog going but they will probably be short ‘On this day 100 years ago’ type ones with a link to Wikipedia.
