The Atlantic Wars- anyone got a copy I could borrow/buy?

There is a paperback copy available through Oxfordshire Libraries. Why not borrow it from them?

The cost of even second-hand copies of this book is for the lowest asking price £25 squid from ABE Books (which John P of this 'ere Parish uses or unloading stuff from Cornerstone! Yes, the eBook is somewhat more reasonable at £12.99 ... but what about the maps?

Hence the reason I was hoping to borrow dead-tree version to read...

A* have copies in various formats including one from Audible where you can listen to it being read to you (if you can stay awake that is - a concept I struggle with!). Audible is a subscription service but you can cancel at any time before it automatically renews.

The Atlantic Wars by Geoffrey Plank (2020) is supposed to be the bee’s knee’s of history books recently written and iconoclastic etc

I’d love to read it. As a Canadian son of a war marriage I ended up back in Sussex in my teens Fifty+ years ago  and was blessed with a university education via the full maintenance grant which made all the difference for working class kids from poor backgrounds , met an English girl, and stayed . But I am fascinated the long years of  war from the 1500s onwards that  created the “new world “ the world of my youth and the intensity of the relationship as a young (Protestant!) Anglo-Scots-Irish Canadian to the Home Country. It was a visceral sentiment hard to explain and probably ' hardly logical!

I heard a long podcast in this book but buying it is fabulously expensive and I am wondering if anyone in the town has a copy I could borrow or buy second hand? 

Last few times I’ve tried inter library loans my requests have been turned down…

Hopefully someone can help . Thanks.
