Historian Antony Beevor says the world today resembles the Second World War in one important respect: "For decades, it seemed as though the characters of leaders would never again determine the course of events the way they did in World War II. Putin's invasion has changed that, and Trump, taking Putin as a role model, has, too." In this episode, the esteemed war chronicler talks about the unsettling reasons why the post-1945 order is unraveling.

In Episode #60, we dive into one of the most brutal and decisive phases of World War II. What made the Battle of Stalingrad a nightmare for Hitler? How did the desert warfare in North Africa shape the fate of the war? And what was Operation Torch—and why was it a game-changer? From the fierce house-to-house fighting on the Eastern Front to Rommel's tactical genius in the sands of Libya, and the Allied landings in Morocco and Algeria, this episode unravels the battles that marked the beginning of the end for the Axis powers.Reference Material:The Second World War by John Keegan - https://www.amazon.com/Second-World-W...Hitler's Table Talk by Heinrich Heim - https://www.amazon.com/dp/191564514X?...The Second World War by Antony Beevor - https://a.co/d/buiOkUXInferno: The World at War by Max Hastings - https://www.amazon.com/Inferno-World-...The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War by Andrew Roberts - https://a.co/d/eiI4n3ZWorld War II: The Definitive Visual History by DK & Smithsonian Institution - https://a.co/d/eUNHC1xThe Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy by Adam Tooze - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RF19SJD?...The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany by William L.

The chief foreign correspondent of The Sunday Times and bestselling author of ‘I am Malala' and ‘The Girl From Aleppo' visits the South West. Christina Lamb's work is defined by determination and curiosity to vividly convey life in areas of danger and conflict. How else would the rest of us know about the injustice, the violence, but also the hope that can be found in those dark places? What is the point of bearing witness to the atrocities of war? What difference can journalism make? As one of Britain's leading foreign correspondents, Christina Lamb has never wavered from giving a voice to the unsung heroes of war, often women like the cyclists in Kabul, the Zimbabwean lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa, and the famous Malala. In this talk, Christina Lamb speaks about the defining moments of her career as an author and journalist: travelling with the Mujahidin, the resistance fighting Soviet occupation in Afghanistan during the Cold War, being in a 360 Taliban ambush, and surviving a bus bombing at an assassination attempt on Pakistan's Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. After 38 years of reporting from the most dangerous places on earth, Christina shares why she still goes to war, asking what we can learn about humans, conflict, and resilience. CHRISTINA LAMB Author and Foreign Correspondent Christina Lamb is one of Britain's leading foreign journalists as well as a bestselling author. Her despatches with the Afghan mujaheddin fighting the Soviet Union saw her named Young Journalist of the Year at the age of 22. She has since reported everywhere from Iraq to Ukraine, Israel to Zimbabwe and been awarded Foreign Correspondent of the Year seven times as well as Europe's top war reporting prize, the Prix Bayeux, the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from both the Society of Editors and Women in Journalism as well as the Chesney Gold Medal for promoting the understanding of war, previously awarded to Henry Kissinger and Winston Churchill. She has always particularly focused on what war does to women, and her book Our Bodies, Their Battlefields about sexual violence in conflict was described by leading historian Antony Beevor as ‘the most powerful book' he had ever read and recently recommended by Queen Camilla in a speech. She has written ten books including co-authoring the international bestseller I Am Malala. She is a Global envoy for UN Education Cannot Wait, Honorary Fellow of University College Oxford, on the board of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, and an Associate of the Imperial War Museum and was awarded an OBE in 2013.

In this episode #59, What really happened when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor? Why did Hitler launch Operation Typhoon toward Moscow ? Why was Mussolini fighting in Libya? In this episode, we uncover gripping stories from World War II: war dogs on the front lines, brave Indian soldiers in distant lands, and forgotten operations that shaped history. From the burning deserts of Africa to frozen Russian winters—this war was global, brutal, and full of surprises.Reference Material:The Second World War by John Keegan - https://www.amazon.com/Second-World-W...Hitler's Table Talk by Heinrich Heim - https://www.amazon.com/dp/191564514X?...The Second World War by Antony Beevor - https://a.co/d/buiOkUXInferno: The World at War by Max Hastings - https://www.amazon.com/Inferno-World-...The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War by Andrew Roberts - https://a.co/d/eiI4n3ZWorld War II: The Definitive Visual History by DK & Smithsonian Institution - https://a.co/d/eUNHC1xThe Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy by Adam Tooze - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RF19SJD?...The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany by William L.

In this episode #58, In this explosive episode, we unpack a crucial chapter of WWII history. Britain fights for survival in the skies during the Battle of Britain, civilians endure the terror of the Blitz, and Hitler's planned invasion—Operation Sea Lion—crumbles. But the real storm is yet to come. We end with the most ambitious and catastrophic military gamble of the war: Operation Barbarossa (Largest Military Operation)—the massive Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union that would change everything. A campaign so bold, brutal, and bloody, it shattered Hitler's momentum and redrew the fate of the world.Reference Material:The Second World War by John Keegan - https://www.amazon.com/Second-World-War-John-Keegan/dp/0143035738Hitler's Table Talk by Heinrich Heim - https://www.amazon.com/dp/191564514X?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_ZSR5EFNA2XDKRGJFM9JTThe Second World War by Antony Beevor - https://a.co/d/buiOkUXInferno: The World at War by Max Hastings - https://www.amazon.com/Inferno-World-at-War-1939-1945/dp/0307475530The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War by Andrew Roberts - https://a.co/d/eiI4n3ZWorld War II: The Definitive Visual History by DK & Smithsonian Institution - https://a.co/d/eUNHC1xThe Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy by Adam Tooze - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RF19SJD?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_F2YKBC10QNPEK1KH8ZA9The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany by William L.

El 30 de abril de 1945, cuando la Segunda Guerra Mundial apuraba sus últimos momentos, Adolf Hitler tomó una decisión que marcaría el final de su vida y de su régimen. En el búnker de la Cancillería del Reich en Berlín, rodeado por las fuerzas soviéticas que avanzaban de forma imparable, el Führer se enfrentó por primera vez a una derrota segura. El búnker, situado bajo el jardín de la Cancillería, había sido construido en dos fases entre 1936 y 1944 para proteger a Hitler y a sus más cercanos colaboradores de los bombardeos aéreos aliados. A mediados de abril de 1945 el ejército rojo desató la ofensiva final contra Berlín. Para entonces Hitler llevaba ya unos meses durmiendo en el búnker, que estaba compuesto de dos zonas: el búnker propiamente dicho y el antebúnker. El primero se encontraba a ocho metros bajo el nivel del jardín y contaba con un formidable blindaje de hormigón: el techo tenía tres metros de espesor, los muros perimetrales cuatro metros. Con la capital bajo asedio y los soviéticos avanzando por sus calles el ambiente en el interior del búnker era de angustia y desesperación. Hitler, que siempre había proyectado una imagen de invulnerabilidad, se sumió en la depresión y cargó las culpas de la derrota sobre los alemanes, a quienes acusaba de no haber sido capaces de ganar la guerra. Los últimos días de Hitler fueron un torbellino de actividad subterránea y decisiones a la desesperada. Se negó a abandonar Berlín, creyendo aún en una improbable reversión del curso de la guerra. Las noticias de derrotas, repliegues y deserciones llegaban sin cesar. Su estado mental se deterioró, sufría de insomnio, temblores y ataques de ira. En estos días, Hitler celebró su último cumpleaños el 20 de abril de 1945, en una atmósfera muy tensa con todos sabiendo que el final se acercaba. El 29 de abril, Hitler se casó con su compañera Eva Braun en una ceremonia breve y surrealista en medio del caos. Al día siguiente, el 30 de abril, dictó su testamento político y personal, en el que acusaba a los judíos de haber provocado la guerra y designaba a Karl Dönitz como su sucesor. Luego Hitler y Eva Braun se retiraron a sus aposentos privados. En torno a las 15:30 horas, ambos tomaron veneno -cianuro de potasio- para evitar ser capturados con vida. Hitler también se descerrajó un tiro en la cabeza para asegurar su muerte. Antes había ordenado que quemasen sus cadáveres para evitar que sus restos fueran profanados. Al día siguiente se suicidó junto a su esposa Magda y sus seis hijos de corta edad el ministro de propaganda Joseph Goebbels. El personal del búnker intentó mantener el secreto de la muerte de Hitler, pero pronto la noticia se propagó por todo Berlín. La ciudad capituló el 2 de mayo. La rendición incondicional de Alemania se formalizó el día 7, marcando el final de la guerra en Europa. Los restos de Hitler y Braun fueron descubiertos por los soviéticos. El búnker sería dinamitado posteriormente y sus ruinas quedaron durante décadas en la franja de la muerte del muro de Berlín. Tras la reunificación se construyeron edificios residenciales. Hoy todo lo que queda es un cártel que informa a los turistas de la ubicación del búnker, ese lugar húmedo, tétrico y subterráneo en el que el III Reich y su líder se desaparecieron de la historia. Para hablar de este tema, muy demandado por los contraescuchas durante años, nos visita Carlos Pérez Simancas, que es gran aficionado a los temas de la segunda guerra mundial y, especialmente, a todos los relacionados con Adolf Hitler.

La Segunda Guerra Mundial comenzó el 1 de septiembre de 1939 con la invasión alemana de Polonia, pero eso fue posible gracias a un acuerdo que nazis y soviéticos habían alcanzado una semana antes, el pacto Molotov-Ribbentrop, también conocido como Tratado de No Agresión Germano-Soviético. Firmado el 23 de agosto de 1939 entre la Alemania nazi y la Unión Soviética este documento lleva los nombres de los ministros de Asuntos Exteriores de ambos países, Joachim von Ribbentrop y Vyacheslav Molotov, de ahí que se le conozca por ese nombre. Su impacto fue determinante en el estallido de la guerra y estuvo en vigor casi dos años, hasta que Hitler puso en marcha la Operación Barbarroja en 1941. El pacto vino precedido por años de tensiones ideológicas y desconfianza mutua entre los dos regímenes. Uno se decía anticomunista y el otro antifascista, pero las circunstancias geopolíticas de finales de la década de los 30 empujaron a Adolf Hitler y a Iósif Stalin a considerar una alianza de carácter pragmático. Para Hitler el pacto aseguraba que Alemania no tendría que librar una guerra en dos frentes como les había sucedido en la Primera Guerra Mundial, mientras que Stalin veía la oportunidad de ganar tiempo para fortalecer la defensa soviética y recuperar lo perdido tras la revolución de octubre sin tener que vérselas con la oposición alemana. Lo más notorio del Pacto Molotov-Ribbentrop fue el Protocolo Secreto, que no se hizo público hasta después de la guerra. Este protocolo dividía Europa del Este en esferas de influencia. Polonia sería repartida entre Alemania y la URSS; los estados bálticos de Estonia, Letonia y Lituania, junto con Finlandia, caerían en la esfera soviética. Además, se legitimaba la anexión soviética de Besarabia, la actual Moldavia, que entonces formaba parte de Rumanía. Esta partición secreta fue un preludio a las invasiones y anexiones que seguirían, alterando drásticamente el mapa político de Europa. La firma del pacto sorprendió a las potencias occidentales que esperaban que la Unión Soviética se uniera a una alianza contra Hitler. La reacción inmediata fue una mezcla de incredulidad y consternación, especialmente entre los comunistas occidentales que veían en este acuerdo una traición a su ideología. La Comintern les ordenó que culpasen de la guerra al imperialismo y que dejasen de combatir a los nazis y los fascistas. En Alemania, el pacto sirvió para invadir Polonia y rehacer el este de Europa a su antojo. La URSS, entretanto, ocupó la mitad oriental de Polonia, anexionó las repúblicas bálticas e invadió Finlandia. Todo le salió a pedir de boca salvo la campaña finlandesa. Para celebrarlo unidades militares alemanas y soviéticas desfilaron juntas en Polonia. Al pacto de agosto de 1939 se añadieron nuevas disposiciones y protocolos así como un ambicioso acuerdo comercial por el que la Unión Soviética se comprometía a suministrar materias primas a Alemania a cambio de armas y maquinaria. Durante el año 1940 la relación entre nazis y soviéticos fue inmejorable hasta el punto de que se barajó incluso la idea de que la URSS se integrase en el Eje junto a japoneses e italianos. El idilio acabó abruptamente el 22 de junio de 1941 cuando los alemanes invadieron la Unión Soviética con un ataque sorpresa y sin declaración de guerra previa. La URSS se convirtió en uno de los aliados y el el Pacto Molotov-Ribbentrop fue olvidado durante el resto de la guerra. En 1948 los estadounidenses, ya metidos en plena guerra fría, publicaron el protocolo secreto de este pacto para avergonzar a los soviéticos, que de puertas adentro prohibieron hablar de él. La existencia misma del protocolo secreto fue negada por los Gobiernos soviéticos durante décadas hasta que en 1989 ya con la Perestroika en marcha, lo admitieron.

Entre el 17 de julio y el 2 de agosto de 1945 se celebró en Potsdam, una localidad en las inmediaciones de Berlín, la conferencia de paz que puso fin a la segunda guerra mundial en Europa. Tres grandes potencias asistieron a la misma: Estados Unidos, la Unión Soviética y el Reino Unido representadas por Harry Truman, Iósif Stalin y Winston Churchill, que fue sustituido por Clement Attlee en la recta final de la conferencia porque había perdido las elecciones. El peso de las negociaciones, no obstante, recayó sobre los hombros de sus ministros de Exteriores: James Byrnes por EEUU, Vyacheslav Molotov por la Unión Soviética y los británicos Anthony Eden y Ernest Bevin. Sus objetivos eran muy ambiciosos y no tenían mucho tiempo para ponerse de acuerdo. Querían establecer el nuevo orden de posguerra en Europa y decidir qué hacer con Alemania, un país derrotado y en ruinas que en aquel momento se encontraba ocupado por ejércitos de cuatro países distintos. La conferencia tuvo lugar en Cecilienhof, un palacete de estilo inglés que había mandado construir el káiser Guillermo II como residencia para su hijo mayor. Se celebraron un total de trece sesiones. Las reuniones eran de dos tipos. Por un lado, las que sostenían el equipo negociador al completo con los jefes de Gobierno a su cabeza, por otro las que mantuvieron los ministros de Exteriores en las que se debatían los detalles que luego pasaban a la sesión principal. Tanto Truman como Stalin querían dejar el asunto resuelto cuanto antes por lo que se mostraron dispuestos a ceder en algunos asuntos para no embrollarse en discusiones bizantinas. Los británicos poco pudieron influir ya que su posición era la más precaria y cambiaron de negociadores en mitad de las sesiones, lo que les debilitó de forma notable. En el curso de la conferencia, Truman fue informado de que la prueba Trinity de la primera bomba atómica había sido exitosa. Insinuó a Stalin que Estados Unidos estaba a punto de utilizar un nuevo tipo de arma contra los japoneses. Aunque esta era la primera vez que los soviéticos recibían oficialmente información sobre la bomba atómica, Stalin ya estaba al tanto del proyecto de la bomba gracias a sus infiltrados dentro del Proyecto Manhattan. A los cuatro días de concluir la conferencia, la primera bomba atómica cayó sobre la ciudad de Hiroshima. En la conferencia de Potsdam nació la Europa de posguerra. Alemania quedó formalmente ocupada por estadounidenses, soviéticos, británicos y franceses. La frontera oriental de Alemania se trasladaría hasta la línea Oder-Neisse, lo que redujo la superficie del país un 25% con respecto a las fronteras de 1937. Todas las anexiones realizadas por el Tercer Reich se revirtieron. Esto tuvo como consecuencia que los alemanes que viviesen al otro lado de la línea fuesen deportados a las zonas ocupadas de lo que quedaba de Alemania. Ese territorio pasaría a Polonia, que, eso sí, no recuperaría las regiones ocupadas por Stalin en 1939. En toda la Europa ocupada por el ejército rojo Stalin quedaba libre para hacer y deshacer a su antojo. De modo que, aunque se comprometió a que se celebrasen elecciones libres, en apenas tres años todos los países que habían caído en la órbita soviética se transformaron en repúblicas populares controladas desde Moscú. Durante los siguientes 45 años el continente quedaría partido en dos. La primera piedra de la guerra fría se puso en Potsdam y todos los que participaron en ella ya lo sospechaban.

On June 1942, Germany's Army Group South started an offensive called Case Blue or Plan Blue.  The idea was to sprint out off eastern Ukraine, across the Russian steppe, and into the Caucasus to capture the oil fields there.  As part of this big effort, the German Sixth Army attempted to capture the city of Stalingrad on the Volga River.  The Sixth Army reached Stalingrad in August.  The fighting was ferocious.  In November the Soviets launched offensives of their own north and south of Stalingrad.  Those two pincers linked up and trapped the Germans in a cauldron.  Fighting continued in Stalingrad but now winter was closing in.  Starvation and the cold exacted a toll as harsh as the Soviets.  Despite Hitler's attempts to resupply the Sixth Army by air and his exhortations to fight to the last, what was left of the German Sixth Army surrendered in late January 1943.  There was no way for Hitler and his propagandists to spin this crushing defeat.  Antony Beevor tells the story of history's largest land battle and arguably the turning point of World War Two in “Stalingrad.”

CONTENT The guest today is Neale Smiles, a former Gunner now working in the defence industry.  Neale often posts his thoughts on military matters on LinkedIn and it was one on the future of the Royal Artillery that got my attention. In it he stated that: “when you aren't equipped or established to fight in the traditional combined arms manner you have to change”  In this episode Neale will set out the changes he feels the Army and specifically the Gunners should make and we discuss: The current state of the Army. How the army should train and the use of simulation. Future soldier concept and the shift from close to deep battle. Moving close support artillery to the infantry to be owned by the infantry and how that would look. The RA to be a missile only deep effects organisation Use of UAS on the battle space. The challenges of recruitment. Neale can be contacted at the following email address: neale@emessue.com.

The Tsar has abdicated and the provisional government rules Russia, but Petrograd is overflowing with revolutionaries who want more radical change. Lenin has returned from exile and is looking to seize power for the Bolsheviks. Their momentum is growing and with Russia still in the First World War, Kerensky and the provisional government's authority is draining away. Listen as William and Anita are once again joined by the great Antony Beevor to discuss the October Revolution and the Bolsheviks' consolidation of power in the civil war.

Russian politics is fast destabilising. Strikes, assassinations, and famines have made Russia increasingly turbulent at the turn of the century. Revolutionary politics is on the rise, as is dissatisfaction with the tsar. When compounded by the strains of the defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, the nation stands on the verge of implosion. And on Europe's horizon is the Great War... Listen as William and Anita are joined by the great Antony Beevor to discuss the build-up to the revolution and the events of February 1917.

It's the third ever "f*** it" episode on this show. This only happens when I don't have an episode to release. I'm having scheduling issues, again, but this will change soon as a ton of episodes are being recorded over the next couple of days. These episodes will speed things up and catch us up on "a-z" with a few bonus episodes coming as well. Ruben Nuno-Ortiz, stops by for a breezy zoom session. "a-z" will return in the coming days with returning guest, Aaron Lowe in "s is for sherlock jr." We start talking about headphones. Yes, headphones. I talk about my (R.I.P 2021-2022) JBL bluetooth wireless headphones, and we get into AirPods and Samsung's version of that... I didn't even know they had their own earphone line!  Not much on the movie front for Ruben, since the last time we chatted. He has been, however, catching up on Ted Lasso. I'm on my 4th watch of Seinfeld. I then start getting into my latest viewings. I am currently on a World War 2 kick, and talk about Antony Beevor's Stalingrad book. Which I recommend.  As far as films, I finally watched Fury (2014), a film directed by David Ayers, a director's who's work I normally don't enjoy. This one is cool. Tanks. WW2. Brad Pitt. Couldn't ask for more.  This leads us to Steven Spielberg and his recent film, The Fabelman's. We get into his past work's a little bit and what films of his we love, and I share some of my thoughts on his latest foray. It's really a film I enjoyed a lot. I was surprised by how into it I was. I don't think Spielberg will take the directing prize at the Oscar's this year, but this is the closest he has been in a really long time.  Another recent flick, which Ruben recently caught on the big screen, Cocaine Bear, is briefly mentioned. Unfortunately, I have not watched Elizabeth Bank's latest directing effort. He shares some brief thoughts on this one.... and that is the gist! Follow us on Instagram while you take a listen!  Dial F for Film is a podcast about the love of movies and host's -- J. Carlos Menjivar -- attempt to watch 1001 movies before he dies. A lover of lists and film, Carlos is a firm believer that all film lists should be tackled with one goal in mind: completion. Steven Jay Schneider's "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" is the subject of this podcast. Each episode features one guest and five movies from the massive list, compiled into themed lists by the host. Guests each week will select one category without any prior knowledge as to what films are included. Once a category is chosen, Carlos reveals the five films and the viewing begins. The guests then come on Dial F for Film via Zoom and the discussion begins.

One of the most significant events of the 20th century, the 1917 Russian Revolution saw the overthrow of the Tsar and the birth of a new communist era. So what exactly led up to Russia's historic and bloody transformation into the Soviet Union?In this episode, James is joined by renowned historian and author Sir Antony Beever at the very London pub where Vladimir Lenin and other exiled Russian revolutionaries plotted their overthrow of the Tsarist regime. Together, they reflect on the ideas, motivations, and actions of those who shaped the course of history from this very spot over 100 years ago.Sir Antony's new book on the Russian Revolution is available for pre-order here.

Philip Clark and Suzanne Hill look back at some of the best Nightlife stories from the past year. 

In Vladimir Putin's warped view of the past, Ukraine was only able to seek independence in 1991 because of a mistake made by another Vladimir nearly 70 years before. In his zeal to obscure Ukrainian national identity, Russia's dictator blames the Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin for “creating” an independent Ukraine in 1922 “by separating, severing what is historically Russian land.” These two events – the Bolshevik revolution and Russia's invasion of Ukraine – are not connected only in Putin's imagination. They are linked through a history of appalling violence and destruction. The place names of battles of the Russian civil war a century ago are familiar to anyone following today's news of Russia's military fiasco in Ukraine. In this episode, the esteemed military historian Antony Beevor discusses the parallels between the civil war that birthed the Soviet Union and Putin's drive to turn Ukraine into a client state – a plan that has, thus far, failed. Moreover, the Bolshevik coup d'etat of October, 1917, far from an obscure bit of history, shaped the course of the twentieth century as few other events did. Antony Beevor is the author of "Russia: Revolution and Civil War, 1917-1921."

Vladimir Putins mobilisering får ingen avgörande betydelse. Det menar militärhistorikern Antony Beevor, författare till en rad uppmärksammade böcker om Andra världskriget och Spanska inbördeskriget, i samtal med programledaren PJ Anders Linder. Ryssland har misslyckats kapitalt med sitt överfall på Ukraina och bristerna i den ryska krigföringen kommer inte att ändras av att man tvångsinkallar ett stort antal illa utrustade, tränade och motiverade män. Programmet behandlar också Beevors färska bok Ryssland – revolution och inbördeskrig 1917-1921 och dess skildring av Lenins lögner, det vita ledarskapets arrogans och det exempellösa våldet på bägge sidor.

Den russiske borgerkrig er en ekstremt brutal affære, som strækker sig over fem år og koster i omegnen af tolv millioner mennesket livet. Men det er ikke bare en krig imellem russere. Styrker fra bl.a. Storbritannien, Frankrig, USA, Tjekkiet og Serbien slås med og imod ukrainere, georgiere, baltere, finner, polakker og armeniere. Krigen trækker også tråde helt frem til dagens Rusland. Alt det kan man læse om i den verdensberømte britiske historiker Antony Beevors nye bog 'Rusland - revolution og borgerkrig 1917-1921'. Beevor er gæst i denne uges Kampen om historien. Vært: Adam Holm. Musik: Adi Zukanovic.

In this archive listen from 2013, we explore the global political impact of a leader whose legacy and influence is still being questioned today: Angela Merkel. As with any leader, a legacy isn't set in stone and as the dust settles on Merkel's chancellorship, which spanned from 2005 to 2021, questions are being asked about decisions she made during her time in power. Most pertinent today, with the arrival of war in Ukraine, is Germany's accommodating trade relationship with Russia. But there were dissenting voices on Merkel's leadership back in 2013. Amid the fallout of the financial crisis, Germany found itself as the key central player holding the fates of less buoyant European economies such as Greece and Portugal in its hands. Many in those countries felt that Merkel's hardline approach to fiscal measures, essentially holding the purse strings for much of Europe, was crippling their own nations. So we debated the motion: Angela Merkel is Destroying Europe. Hosting the the debate was former BBC World News broadcaster Nik Gowing, joined by journalists Mehdi Hasan and Christine Ockrent. Plus, historian Antony Beevor and Greek politician Euclid Tsakalotos. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Historian Antony Beevor depicts the conflict through the eyes of ordinary Russian workers to officers on the battlefield, to crystalise one of the most influential and devastating wars of the modern era

Antony Beevor's new book Russia examines the aftermath of 1917's Russian Revolution and the chaos that unfolded as Russia descended into a vicious civil war.

Russian president Vladimir Putin is "a very dangerous beast," says preeminent military historian Antony Beevor. As war rages in Ukraine, an unpredictable dictator may risk expanding the war to involve NATO members such as the Baltic states. Putin has fallen into the same trap as past Russian and Soviet leaders, obsessed with a perceived encirclement by implacable, hostile powers to the west. In this episode, Sir Antony Beevor explains the deep historical roots of the conflict in Eastern Europe, and the ways in which Putin is trying to turn back the clock to an imperial past. 

Despite being outnumbered by both Russian troops and fire power, Ukrainians have stood their ground and taken up arms to defend their nation, leading to some experts to draw comparisons between what's unfolding in Ukraine with the battle of Stalingrad.

In this repost of a previous interview, Professor Antony Beevor speaks here with Claudia Cragg about his book ''.    It is, horribly, more relevant today than it should be. Why do 'those in power' constantly push for war, and what about the aftermath, the 'cleanup' with the so-called 'Win'.  History ALWAYS repeats itself.  The Normandy Landings that took place on D-Day involved by far the largest invasion fleet ever known. The scale of the undertaking was simply awesome. What followed them was some of the most cunning and ferocious fighting of the war, at times as savage as anything seen on the Eastern Front. As casualties mounted, so too did the tensions between the principal commanders on both sides. Meanwhile, French civilians caught in the middle of these battlefields or under Allied bombing endured terrible suffering. The most vivid and well-researched account yet of the battle of Normandy. As with  and , Antony Beevor's gripping narrative conveys the true experience of war. His best known works prior to this include the best-selling  and  and recount the  battles between the  and . They have been praised for their vivid, compelling style, their treatment of the ordinary lives of combatants and civilians and the use of newly disclosed documents from Soviet archives.Beevor's works have been used as sources and credited as such in many recent  about . Another one of his best known works is  for which he won the , administered by the  for stimulating interest in  and culture. Beevor is descended from a long line of women writers, being a son of  (born Carinthia Jane Waterfield, 22 December 1911 – 29 August 1995), herself the daughter of Lina Waterfield, and a descendant of  (author of a travelogue on ). Kinta Beevor wrote A Tuscan Childhood. Antony Beevor is married to Hon. , daughter of Duff Cooper, granddaughter of . He was educated at  and . He studied under the famous military historian . Beevor is a former officer with the  who served in  and  for five years before resigning his commission. He has published several popular histories on  and the 20th century in general. Professor Beevor has encountered criticism on his work in . The Russian ambassador to the UK denounced the book as "lies" and "slander against the people who saved the world from Nazism". , a professor and President of the , has charged that Beevor is merely resurrecting the discredited and racist views of  historians, who depicted Soviet troops as subhuman "Asiatic hordes"In an interview with , Rzheshevsky admitted that he had only read excerpts from Berlin: The Downfall 1945 and had not seen the book's source notes. He claimed that Beevor's use of phrases such as "Berliners remember" and "the experiences of the raped German women" were better suited "for pulp fiction, than scientific research." Rzheshevsky also defended Soviet reprisals against Germans, stating that the Germans could have expected an "avalanche of revenge". Beevor responded to Russian criticism on his book .  This criticism centres on the book's discussion of atrocities committed by the Red Army against German civilians – in particular, the extremely widespread rape of German women and female Russian forced labourers, both before and after the end of the war. Beevor stated however that German women were part of a society that supported Hitler and thus can't be seen as victims in the same way than Jews, Poles and Russians. Beevor, though, stated that he was accused by the Russian media of being the "chief slanderer of the Red Army" for describing repeated and relentless rape by the  of young women taken from the Soviet Union by the Nazis for slave labor. Beevor states that he used excerpts from the report of General Tsigankov, the chief of the political department of the , to cite the incident. He responded to Rzheshevsky by saying, "Professor O.A. Rzheshevsky even accused me of repeating Nazi propaganda, when in fact the bulk of the evidence on the subject came from Soviet sources, especially the NKVD reports in GARF (), and a wide range of reliable personal accounts." Beevor hopes Russian historians will take a more objective approach to material in their own archives which are at odds to the heroic myth of the Red Army as "liberators" in 1945. "Other historians such as , (see here also an interview with Richard Overy on his latest book) a historian from , have criticised Russian "outrage" at the book and defended Beevor. Overy accused the Russians of refusing to acknowledge , "Partly this is because they felt that much of it was justified vengeance against an enemy who committed much worse, and partly it was because they were writing the victors' history.
