So, I wrote a book...
🕑 Added 2024-11-29 14:49:10 +0000 UTCTo those of you who keep asking "When are you going to write a book Drach?", well, I wrote a book (hopefully the first of many), and you can pre-order it on the USNI website from today, release date is April 2025.
If you order this month you can (if not already a member) take advantage of my discount code 'DRACH' to get some money off, and you can catch up with the rest of the Naval History Special Edition series in the Holiday Catalogue Sale, as well as a number of other excellent works, Norman Friedman's US Battleships/Carriers/Cruisers etc series, Admiral Lee's biography 'Battleship Commander' and 'Russian and Soviet Battleships' are all part of this months 50% off sale.
Signed copies of my book, plus an e-book version will hopefully be made available early next year, with more details to follow, including an exclusive look at USNI in next weeks Wednesday video.

Looking forward to order a signed copy and the ebook so I have something good to listen to during my commuting drives!

Wonderful work Drach :) I don't pre-order (publishers seems to lose my pre-orders often - I have about a 50% "miss" rate, far, far higher than normal orders, and it just got too expensive buying titles twice) but I'll be sure to pick this up as soon as it's out - be sure to let us know when it releases :) And here's to many, many more :)

Congratulations Drach. What a huge year '24 has been forr you. I will be waiting for a personalised signed copy!
William Timothy Murray
Awesome! And congrats! Placed my order immediately!

I think I'm going to need two copies. My daughter loved HMS Belfast.

Congratulations and ordered my copy. Any chance you've selected HMS Warspite as the subject of your next book?

Ok fair enough. Iv been with you since Robin voice days so obv a book is something I'm after. If you don't get a uk print run ebay will be scalping them lol
Drachinifel
I'm going to sort out audiobook rights in the New Year :D
Drachinifel
Yeah, I sent them a correction on that :D
Drachinifel
UK orders should probably hold as currently the site is only listing the US print run, which will incur trans-Atlantic shipping costs. At some point between now and April 2025 there will be a UK distributor sorted as well.

It does, but UK orders should probably hold as currently the site is only listing the US print run, which will incur trans-Atlantic shipping costs. At some point between now and April 2025 there will be a UK distributor sorted as well.

Cheers congratulations Drach!
Martin Smith
Great news. I will definitely buy this, though I might wait for the signed copies.

I can't find enough time to even *watch* all your videos, and you have time to not only make your regular videos + 75,000 hours of patreon drydock per week + travel + raise a kid and OH YEAH WRITE A BOOK. Good lord man, stop overachieving, the rest of us are going to get a complex.

Well, as a Yorkshireman I can certain approve of the surname, Drach... Congratulations on the publication - I shall order one at once, think about it deeply and then pose a question on the nearest Drydock
Sylderon Machine Works
Well, that's pretty neat! I'm guessing since this is published under USNI it will be written with a more serious tone than some of your videos, but I'm sure that's not a problem. One problem I so see is that the page says Belfast hit a mine in 1938, must be a typo.
Maya Media
Been waiting for this. Congratulations!
Ben Brummitt
Well done that's an achievement to be rightly proud of. So, uh, when's the audio version coming out? 😉
Victor Raymond
Congratulations! This is exciting!
Symmetrymaster
Well now you've gone and actually done it

Fantastic! I’ll wait for the ebook, no space for all the bookshelves I’d need if they were all printed!
