How did the East India Company come about and how did it become the largest corporation in the world? How did the English compare to the Spanish and Dutch as a naval power, and how did they manage to gain a foothold in the Indian subcontinent? What were the obstacles to success, and what motivated the mercantile adventurers who risked their lives on the high seas? How did the British Empire in India emerge from the foundations set by the Company? And at what cost? How should we look back at our highly controversial colonial role on the global stage? Historian and Emeritus Professor David Howarth helps to answer these questions at a time when imperialism is under the spotlight like never before. Drawing on his book Adventurers: The Improbable Rise of the East India Company, he takes us back to the 17th and 18th centuries as the English began to establish themselves as a major world force. And he reveals the influence on his career of his own father, Tom Howarth, who was friends with Field Marshal Montgomery and won the Military Cross for bravery in World War II. What was it like being shown round Rommel's caravan by 'Monty' as a young boy? An unmissable insight into the importance of history, which, as Howarth says, is very far from dead.
In this episode Tom and Christopher are joined by Professor David Howarth, author of ‘Adventurers The Improbable Rise of the East India Company' ; to discuss the surprisingly humble and chaotic Tudor origins of the most celebrated and powerful global entity in history.

Why did the Speaker fail to call Diane Abbott during Prime Minister's Questions? The image of Britain's first black female MP being talked about at the Despatch Box while not being allowed to say anything herself, once again left the House of Commons looking out of touch.Do Henry VIII powers threaten parliamentary democracy? Former MP and law professor, David Howarth, warns that Ministers are dodging scrutiny by MPs because they have powers to make significant changes to the law without proper oversight by Parliament.And the loneliness of the one-person party. George Galloway, winner of the Rochdale by-election, and Lee Anderson, the new Reform Party recruit from the Conservatives, sat together on the backbenches this week. But how do MPs who are their party's only parliamentarian operate at Westminster?
In 1943, Baalsrud was a member of a commando team sent by the Norwegian government-in-exile to carry out a sabotage mission against German forces in Norway. Their mission, known as Operation Martin, went awry when they were betrayed to the Germans. The team was ambushed, and Baalsrud narrowly escaped capture but became separated from the rest of the group.Baalsrud found himself alone in the harsh Arctic wilderness of northern Norway, pursued by German troops. He faced extreme challenges, including frostbite, snow blindness, and gangrene. Despite these hardships, he was determined to survive and complete his mission.During his months-long ordeal, Baalsrud received crucial assistance from local Norwegian villagers who risked their lives to help him. They provided shelter, food, and medical care, often at great personal risk. Baalsrud's story became a symbol of Norwegian resistance and resilience during the occupation.One of the most famous episodes in Baalsrud's survival story involved amputating nine of his frostbitten toes with a pair of pliers to prevent the gangrene from spreading. He survived this ordeal and continued his journey.Ultimately, after a treacherous escape, Jan Baalsrud was able to cross the border into neutral Sweden, completing his mission by delivering important intelligence to the Allies. His survival and determination in the face of extreme adversity became an inspirational tale of courage, resilience, and the power of human will.Jan Baalsrud's story was later documented in the book "We Die Alone" by David Howarth and the movie adaptation "Nine Lives" (also known as "The 12th Man"). His incredible survival story continues to serve as a symbol of Norway's resistance and bravery during World War II.(commercial at 6:06)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5080327/advertisement

In 1943 an isolated sledge patrol came upon a secret German weather station in northeastern Greenland. The discovery set off a series of dramatic incidents that unfolded across 400 miles of desolate coast. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow this arctic struggle, an often overlooked drama of World War II. We'll also catch some speeders and puzzle over a disastrous remedy.

With one day to go, we interview the former politician and academic David Howarth – who won a surprise victory to become the Liberal Democrat MP for Cambridge in 2005 – for his insight on the twists and turns of Polling Day, and the daily pressures of life in Westminster. In a refreshingly candid discussion, he reveals why the ‘public mood’ is a myth, what it’s really like on the campaign trail, why the legacy of the MP expenses scandal makes him fear for the future of our democracy, and how Alex Salmond predicted the key role of minor parties almost a decade ago. Also in this episode, we speak to Khue Pham – foreign correspondent for the leading German newspaper Die Zeit – for a German’s perspective on the quirks of British elections, and whether a grand coalition of Labour and the Conservatives is the answer to our political stalemate. Finally, our regular panel assess their predictions from earlier podcasts, and give their own forecast for tomorrow’s result. Posted 6/5/15 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
