About WarCommons

WarCommons is a WWII history publication built on one principle: history deserves to be taken seriously. Every article is thoroughly researched, source-based and written with a clear point of view. No filler, no Wikipedia rewrites, and NO AI. Just history that earns your time.

Published every Tuesday and Saturday by Nick Ravenshade, WarCommons covers the full breadth of the Second World War. From the political failures of the interwar years to the battles, people, strategies and weapons that defined the conflict, and the shadow it left behind.

Every article begins with research, but the conversation does not end at publication. Field Reserve and Field Command members continue the discussion inside the WarCommons community, debate the evidence and help determine where the research goes next.

WarCommons is also home to a growing community of WWII enthusiasts. Field Reserve provides free access to the WarCommons Field Headquarters, our community, while Field Command gives members the complete premium experience and full participation in the community.

WarCommons is not an archive of loose pieces, but a continuous WWII experience for readers who can’t get enough of history.

Nick Ravenshade

Founder and Editorial Director

Nick Ravenshade, LL.B., founded WarCommons out of a lifelong obsession with the Second World War. He has spent years reading the histories, memoirs, declassified files, and scholarship. WarCommons is where that research becomes writing.

His features aim to do what the best military history does: take readers inside the decisions, institutions, and ordinary lives that the war consumed, without simplifying what was genuinely complicated. He holds a law degree and brings that training in evidence, analysis, and argument to everything he publishes.
