Richard Sorge is one of history's most famous spies. This hard-drinking, womanising, motorcycle-crashing Soviet officer penetrated the German embassy in Tokyo during the 1930s and gathered intelligence credited with changing the course of the Second World War. It is an intriguing tale; but Sorge's spy ring was just one chapter in a much longer history of Russian and Soviet espionage in and against Japan. Cracking the Crab: Russian Espionage Against Japan, from Peter the Great to Richard Sorge (Hurst, 2025) by Dr. James D Brown tells the extraordinary full story of Russian intrigue targeting Japan, from first encounters in the eighteenth century to the Soviet declaration of war in August 1945. Colourful episodes include Gojong, King of Korea, being smuggled into the Russian legation dressed as a woman in 1896; the 1927 ‘Tanaka Memorial', an infamous forgery purporting to be Japan's hidden plan for world domination; and the secret intelligence of ‘Nero', a Soviet agent supplying invaluable insight into Japanese strategy during the Second World War. From Russians murdered in broad daylight in Meiji Tokyo to Soviet honey traps and ‘white magic' at the Battle of Nomonhan, this is a landmark history of the covert struggle between two great powers of the modern age. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

For years, I devoted my life to my kids. When they left for college, I found myself asking, Who am I beyond “mom”? That question led me on a journey of self-discovery—one that now fuels my passion for helping other moms navigate this transition.  As a Board-Certified Nurse Coach, I support women in rediscovering their purpose, joy, and identity after their children leave home. Whether you're feeling lost, unsure of what's next, or struggling to put yourself first, I help you embrace this new chapter with clarity and confidence.  I'm also the founder of Nurse Coach Finders (NCF), a platform that connects clients and businesses with board-certified nurse coaches to improve lives. I believe that personalized support leads to lasting change—whether for moms rediscovering themselves or businesses supporting their teams.  

The Kims, of North Korea, are perhaps the 21st century's most successful family dictatorship–if only due to sheer longevity, having run North Korea for the almost eight decades since the country's post-war founding. Kim Il-Sung led North Korea for over half that time, from its founding in 1948 to Kim's death in 1994. But who was Kim Il-Sung? How did someone who spent most of his early years in nearby Manchuria end up running North Korea? And how was Kim able to not just secure his own position, but also the position of his son (and then, in turn, his grandson)? Kim is the subject of Fyodor Tertitsky's latest book, Accidental Tyrant: The Life of Kim Il-sung (Hurst, 2025). Fyodor Tertitskiy has been living in South Korea for more than a decade, where he researches North Korean political, social and military history. He has authored several books in English and Korean, including Soviet-North Korean Relations During the Cold War (Routledge: 2024) and The North Korean Army: History, Structure, Daily Life (Routledge: 2023).

Kim Il-Sung led North Korea for over half that time, from its founding in 1948 to Kim's death in 1994. But who was Kim Il-Sung? How did someone who spent most of his early years in nearby Manchuria end up running North Korea? And how was Kim able to not just secure his own position, but also the position of his son (and then, in turn, his grandson)? Kim is the subject of Fyodor Tertitsky's latest book, Accidental Tyrant: The Life of Kim Il-sung (Hurst, 2025). Fyodor Tertitskiy has been living in South Korea for more than a decade, where he researches North Korean political, social and military history. He has authored several books in English and Korean, including Soviet-North Korean Relations During the Cold War (Routledge: 2024) and The North Korean Army: History, Structure, Daily Life (Routledge: 2023).

In this eye-opening episode we are talking about the gut issues nobody wants to talk about—IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). For millions of women, chronic bloating, pain, and unpredictable digestion have become their “normal”—but it doesn't have to be that way. I'm joined by Dietitian Ashley Hurst, founder of Crohn's & Colitis Dietitians, a gut health expert who is on a mission to bring awareness to the root causes of chronic gut inflammation, including stress, food sensitivities, trauma, and even immune dysfunction. Together, we unpack why these conditions are often misunderstood or dismissed—and what real healing can look like. These issues are so commonly paired with a thyroid condition. If you've ever been told “everything looks normal” but your body says otherwise, this episode is for you.

Why has Libya fallen apart since 2011? The world has largely given up trying to understand how the revolution that toppled Muammar Gaddafi has left the country a failed state and a major security headache for Europe. Gaddafi's police state has been replaced by yet another dictatorship, amidst a complex conflict of myriad armed groups, Islamists, tribes, towns and secularists. What happened? One of few foreign journalists to have lived in post-revolution Tripoli, Ulf Laessing has unique insight into the violent nature of post-Gaddafi politics. Confronting threats from media-hostile militias and jihadi kidnappings, in a world where diplomats retreat to their compounds and guns are drawn at government press conferences, Laessing has kept his ear to the ground and won the trust of many key players. Understanding Libya Since Gaddafi is an original blend of personal anecdote and nuanced Libyan history. It offers a much-needed diagnosis of why war has erupted over a desert nation of just 6 million, and of how the country blessed with Africa's greatest energy reserves has been reduced to state collapse.

China and India have had a tense relationship, disagreeing over territory, support for each other's rivals, and even, at times, leadership of the “Global South.” But there were periods where things seemed a bit rosier. For about a decade, between 1988 and 1998, relations between India and China thawed—and prompted heady predictions of an Asian century. Vappala Balachandran, who was part of those off-line discussions with China, writes about the ups and downs of China-India relations in his latest book India and China at Odds in the Asian Century: A Diplomatic and Strategic History (Hurst: 2025) Vappala Balachandran is a columnist, former special secretary for the Indian Cabinet Secretariat, and author of four books on Indian security, strategy and intelligence.

On my FAFO Friday episode of The Clay Edwards Show, I tackled a heated story out of Gulfport, Mississippi, where the Mississippi Republican Party, led by Chairman Mike Hurst, accused Democratic mayoral candidate Sonya Williams Barnes of vote-buying ahead of the June 3, 2025, election. Broadcasting from Flora on 103.9 FM WYAB, I dug into the GOP's claims that Barnes' campaign violated Mississippi law by offering meal vouchers—worth about $10 at Ms. Audrey's Southern Kitchen—for absentee votes and hosting a “Vote & Vibe Day Party” with free brunch for voters. Hurst called it “illegal, immoral, and un-American,” citing video evidence of vouchers handed out at City Hall. I noted the Attorney General's office, under Lynn Fitch, is investigating, believing Barnes may have broken campaign finance laws. A local pastor, Eddie Hartwell Sr., claimed the vouchers were his idea to boost voting, not tied to any candidate, but I questioned the timing, just days before the election against Republican Hugh Keating. I pointed out past similar controversies in 2005 and 2010, deemed legal then, but the GOP's pushing hard, with Hurst demanding vigilance. Barnes denied wrongdoing, calling it a GOP scare tactic, while my callers and I leaned skeptical, seeing it as Democrats possibly exploiting Gulfport's shifting demographics to flip the seat.

On This Episode, The Vern talks with author Christian Hurst about his debut novel, Lily Starling and The Voyage of the Salamander.

Who will defend Europe? The answer should be obvious: Europe should be able to defend itself. Yet, for decades, most of the continent enjoyed a defence holiday, outsourcing protection to the United States while banking an increasingly illusory ‘peace dividend'. Now, after three decades of reducing armed forces and drawing down defence industries, Europe finds itself close to unprotected—while Russia is intent on continuing its war of expansion, and the US is distracted and divided. In Who Will Defend Europe?: An Awakened Russia and a Sleeping Continent (Hurst & Co., 2024), Keir Giles lays out the stark choices facing leaders and societies as they confront the return of war in Europe. He explains how the West's unwillingness to confront Russia has nurtured the threat, and that Putin's ambition puts the whole continent at risk. He assesses the role and deficiencies of NATO as a guarantor of hard security, and whether the EU or coalitions of the willing can fill the gap. Above all, Giles emphasises the need for new leadership in defence of the free world after the US has stepped aside— and warns that the UK's brief moment of setting the pace for Europe has already been squandered. Keir Giles has advised governments worldwide on the Russian threat. A senior fellow with Chatham House's Russia and Eurasia Programme, and Director of the Conflict Studies Research Centre, he is a regular commentator for the BBC and international media. His prescient books include What Deters Russia and Moscow Rules. Learn more about your ad choices.
