22.01.2022 Sports writer and book publisher, Geoff Armstrong selects his top 6 pick of Oz sports books for 2019. The Oarsmen sneaks in amongst great company! https://www.stokehillpress.com/blog
21.01.2022 Yep. Manning’s The Middle Parts of Fortune, is the book on WW1 that cut through for me. I think the most incisive and pragmatic view of the Great War from someone who wasn’t afraid to pick the scabs of either heroism or cowardice. The language is authentic and the dawning realisation of the war’s participants to the grim reality that their lives were simply superfluous casualties in a spiralling numbers game is confronting.
20.01.2022 The Oarsmen is now released in the UK you think getting out of the EU is hard? Read how the Diggers did it in 1919! Available at Waterstones and other good book stores.

11.01.2022 The 1919 King's Cup race call... kind of.
10.01.2022 Wow.... Elevated company to be included. The story of the oarsmen still cutting through the water 100 years on.
10.01.2022 #PMLitAwards Judges’ comments 2020 This is an extraordinary book, which carefully pieces together the previously untold, extraordinary story of how a rowing eight made up of physically and psychologically scarred AIF servicemen won the King's Cup at the 1919 Henley Regatta. Eschewing a narrative of nationalism this is a tale of the triumph of the human spirit.... Relying on careful research and using an understated prose style, Patterson explores the unassuming lives of these men in pre-war Australia as a prelude to detailing their experiences in the armageddons of Gallipoli, Pozieres and Ypres. In Patterson's narrative the Henley triumph by such a mismatched and damaged crew is almost miraculous, although his accounts of their difficult and sometimes tragic post war lives carefully tempers that understanding. In also speaking to the wider experiences of these servicemen in peace and war this is an inspiring book about human frailty, endurance and survival.
09.01.2022 Spring evening reading...
