His Making of England series, beginning with Conquest in 2011, follows English history from the Norman invasion through the Crusades and the reign of Richard the Lionheart across four novels. The books blend real historical figures and events with fictional characters.
His Great War series covers World War I, and his non-fiction title Barbarossa (2021) examines the Eastern Front of World War II. Binns brings a documentary maker’s eye for research and detail to his fiction, grounding his stories in historical fact. He also published the standalone novel Betrayal (2018).
