THE TRAGEDY BEGINS: 5/8: Nick Lloyd, The Western Front: A History of the Great War, 1914-1918 https://www.amazon.com/Western-Front-History-Great-1914-1918/dp/B09NS2DT8X In this epic narrative history, the first volume in a groundbreaking trilogy on the Great War, the acclaimed military historian Nick Lloyd captures the horrific fighting on the Western Front beginning with the surprise German invasion of Belgium in August 1914 and taking us to the Armistice of November 1918. Drawing on French, British, German, and American sources, Lloyd weaves a kaleidoscopic chronicle of the Marne, Passchendaele, the Meuse-Argonne, and other critical battles, which reverberated across Europe and the wider war. From the trenches, where men as young as 17 suffered and died, to the headquarters behind the lines where Generals Haig, Joffre, Hindenburg, and Pershing developed their plans for battle, Lloyd gives us a view of the war both intimate and strategic, putting us amid the mud and smoke while at the same time depicting the larger stakes of every encounter. He shows us a dejected Kaiser Wilhelm II―soon to be eclipsed in power by his own generals―lamenting the botched Schlieffen Plan; French soldiers piling atop one another in the trenches of Verdun; British infantryman wandering through the frozen wilderness in the days after the Battle of the Somme; and General Erich Ludendorff pursuing a ruthless policy of total war, leading an eleventh-hour attack on Reims even as his men succumbed to the Spanish Flu. 1917 ITALIAN FRONT

fWotD Episode 2634: Ernest Hemingway Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 21 July 2024 is Ernest Hemingway.Ernest Miller Hemingway (; July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American novelist, short-story writer and journalist. Best known for an economical, understated style that significantly influenced later 20th-century writers, he is often romanticized for his adventurous lifestyle, and outspoken and blunt public image. Most of Hemingway's works were published between the mid-1920s and mid-1950s, including seven novels, six short-story collections and two non-fiction works. His writings have become classics of American literature; he was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature, while three of his novels, four short-story collections and three nonfiction works were published posthumously.Hemingway was raised in Oak Park, Illinois, in the Chicago area. After high school, he spent six months as a cub reporter for The Kansas City Star before enlisting in the Red Cross. He served as an ambulance driver on the Italian Front in World War I and was seriously wounded in 1918. His wartime experiences formed the basis for his 1929 novel A Farewell to Arms. He married Hadley Richardson in 1921, the first of four wives. They moved to Paris where he worked as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star and fell under the influence of the modernist writers and artists of the 1920s' "Lost Generation" expatriate community. His debut novel The Sun Also Rises was published in 1926.He divorced Richardson in 1927 and married Pauline Pfeiffer. They divorced after he returned from the Spanish Civil War, where he had worked as a journalist and which formed the basis for his 1940 novel For Whom the Bell Tolls. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940. He and Gellhorn separated after he met Mary Welsh in London during World War II. Hemingway was present with Allied troops as a journalist at the Normandy landings and the liberation of Paris. He maintained permanent residences in Key West, Florida, in the 1930s and in Cuba in the 1940s and 1950s. On a 1954 trip to Africa, he was seriously injured in two plane accidents on successive days, leaving him in pain and ill health for much of the rest of his life. In 1959 he bought a house in Ketchum, Idaho, where, on July 2, 1961, he shot himself in the head.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:03 UTC on Sunday, 21 July 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Ernest Hemingway on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Matthew.

In this latest podcast, historian and author Tom Isitt joins us. Tom has a passion (or, he might say, obsession) with the Italian Front in the Great War. An inhospitable battlefield with appalling weather conditions and treacherous terrain, the fighting around the Isonzo River proved to be the graveyard of the Italian army in a series of 12 battles that cost hundreds of thousands of casualties.In this wide-ranging conversation, we talk about the fighting at Isonzo and Caporetto, the Asiago plateau, the problems of supply and fighting in the mountains, and meet a belligerent commander who dismissed no fewer than 270 Generals during the course of the War.Support the podcast:https://www.patreon.com/footstepsofthefallenhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/footstepsblog

The first episode, Fruits of Ash and Poison, will cover the period from 1896 to 1915, in which Italy prospered economically but became susceptible to nationalist ideals, sketchy politicians, and propaganda, which led directly to Italy's involvement in World War I.If you'd like to donate or sponsor the podcast, our PayPal is @TurningTidesPodcast1.

Big Two-Hearted River is one of Hemingway's first stories, written upon his return from the Italian Front in 1919, and released in 1924 as a part of his short story collection titled "In Our Time". Part One joins the protagonist Nick Adams, who we can safely assume is Hemingway, since he actually experience this adventure, as he exits a train near the burned out town of Seney in upper Michigan in order to do a few days of solitary camping. There is a backstory to Hemingway's trip to Seney which I might share as a follow up to this short story. The story brought him wide acclaim as an up and coming young writer in the early twenties, writing about a generation which had been greatly affected by World War One.

This is the brief history of the 48th (South Midland) Division, , a peacetime Territorial division which mobilised on the outbreak of war.

In this episode, the brilliant historian Mark Thompson, author of the magisterial The White War, separates fact from fiction as he analyzes Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms, including its epic depiction of the devastating Caporetto retreat. In writing his great war novel, Hemingway dramatically recreated the Italian Front of World War I by consulting histories, maps, novels, and others’ firsthand accounts. He also drew from his own traumatic experiences in northern Italy in 1918. Thompson turns his attention to the historical context of the fiction, focusing on the “forgotten front” of Italy during World War I. He addresses the military fiascoes and political incompetence, bringing to the surface the subtext of A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway’s timeless classic.This episode was recorded on September 6th, 2019.

July 2019    In this It Happened Here episode we leave the invasion of Western Europe and return to the hard fought battles of the Italian Campaign.   Since first invading in September 1943, Italy had been anything but the “soft underbelly” that Churchill had called it. Finally in the spring and summer of 1944, after months of being held back by German forces defending Italy, things started to move.    With the eyes of the world on Normandy the men fighting their way up the boot of Italy felt they had been forgotten back home, but they were not by codebreakers at Bletchley Park.   Our research historian, Dr David Kenyon, will be your guide to the vital support GC&CS gave to the Army’s on the Italian Front. It would be their hard fighting that would ultimately lead to the capture of the first of the Axis Capitals, Rome.   We also look at the absolutely enormous offensive launched by the Soviet forces in late June 1944, Operation Bagration.   Very special thanks to Lowden Jim for his recording of The D-Day Dodgers. His work can be found at  http://www.youtube.com/Lowdenjim   We dedicate this episode to Sgt Charles Leslie Harris and Gunner Gordon Brown, two of our own D-Day Dodgers.    #BPark, #Bletchleypark, #WW2, #DDay75, #BletchleyParkDDay

Born in 1891, General Erwin Rommel, known as the Desert Fox, became one of Nazi Germany's most successful and famous field marshals. Highly decorated in World War One for bravery on the Italian Front, Rommel, even won the Pour le Merite. In the inter-war years, Rommel became a respected military theorist. With the invasion of France Rommel showed his brilliance, love of speed, and need for action early on. Once in Africa Rommel dazzled and befuddled the Allied armies he faced even when outgunned and undermanned. Rommel displayed a sense of chivalry and honor for his enemies that earned the Africa campaign the name "war without hate". After the collapse of the North Africa Front Rommel was recalled and put in command of Fortress Europe. By 1944 Rommel was in charge of fortifying and defending the entire Atlantic Coastline. A Nazi, Rommel, was never an ardent antisemite and there is still a heated debate on how much Rommel knew of the death camps. When the 20th July Plot failed to kill Hitler Rommel became a suspect. Given a choice between a trail and the murder of his family or suicide and their safety, he chose the later. Postwar Rommel became one of the few former Nazi symbols that was fairly clean. Rommel's legacy helped rehabilitate West Germany's image in the eyes of NATO and the West.

January 2019  1943 had been a year of Turning Points in World War 2, but 75 years ago few people could have known for certain the monumental events that would unfold in 1944.  In this It Happened Here episode we take stock and look at the year ahead. The Big Three, Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin met together for the first time and took decisions that would ultimately lead to the 6th of June, D-Day.  In the wider war the Germans had bogged the Allies down on the Italian Front, while at sea Bletchley Park saw success with their contribution in the sinking of the Scharnhorst.  Meanwhile back in the Buckinghamshire countryside, GPO Engineer Tommy Flowers delivered Colossus 1 to Bletchley Park. Seen now as the world's first large scale electronic digital computer, at the time it was part of the evolution of machinery that the codebreakers had at their disposal.  As always, Bletchley Park’s Research Historian, Dr David Kenyon is our guide.  Image: ©Bletchley Park Trust 2019  #BPark, #Bletchleypark, #WW2, #DDay75

Austria-Hungary and Italy fought a brutal campaign in the rugged Dolomite Mountains for three years, with neither side gaining the upper hand until 1918.  Ultimately, Italy and the Allies decisively defeat Austria-Hungary, spelling the end for a once-powerful empire.       https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/battle-of-the-piave-river http://historycollection.co/today-history-topic-battle-piave-ww-1917 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Battle_of_the_Piave_River https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1918/06/20/106215159.pdf https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1918/06/17/102710908.pdf https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1918/06/17/102710897.pdf https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1918/06/17/102710900.pdf The Great War Project Historian Mike Shuster from the Great War Project blog details the events of this week in 1918. German resolve wanes as the American army grows in both size and confidence, threatening Germany “like a thundercloud.” Although still capable of taking ground from the Allies, the weary, starved German troops face a recharged, replenished, and well-fed foe. An eventual Allied victory seems inevitable.   http://greatwarproject.org/2018/06/17/on-western-front-now-a-flood-of-americans/ America Emerges: Military Stories from WW1 While the heroism of the US Marine Corps tends to dominate the narrative of Belleau Wood, the US Army also played a strategically vital role in the battle. Dr. Edward Lengel joins us to explain how the US 30th Infantry regiment effectively collaborated with a French unit to capture Hill 204 from the Germans.     http://www.edwardlengel.com/portfolio/thunder-and-flames-americans-in-the-crucible-of-combat-1917-1918/ http://www.edwardlengel.com/u-s-army-belleau-wood-untold-story-hill-204/ https://www.facebook.com/EdwardLengelAuthor/ http://www.edwardlengel.com/about/ War in the Sky This week 100 years ago, a group of American aviators took part in an Italian bombing raid on an Austro-Hungarian railway station.   http://ww1cc.org/warinthesky https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1918/06/22/102712432.pdf https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1918/06/20/106215160.pdf Great War Channel Check out our friends at the Great War Channel for a fascinating video about German submarine attacks on the American coast.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7pnogIeCIQ   World War One Now Historians Corner Historian David Pietrusza discusses Theodore Roosevelt and his role in the First World War, from his early and outspoken support of U.S. involvement to the enormous price his family paid on the battlefield.     https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/why-teddy-roosevelt-tried-bully-way-onto-wwi-battlefield-180962840/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/letters-unbearable-grief-theodore-roosevelt-death-son-180962743/ https://www.nps.gov/articles/the-bull-moose-in-winter-theodore-roosevelt-and-world-war-i.htm https://www.amazon.com/TRs-Last-War-Theodore-Roosevelt/dp/1493028871   Speaking WW1 This week on Speaking WW1- where we explore words and phrases that are rooted in WW1- our word is Tailspin, meaning an uncontrollable descent.   http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/197114 https://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2014/06/13/oed-ww1-timeline/ WW1 War Tech For WW1 War Tech, this week we take a look at the “Ice City”- a network of tunnels carved out of a glacier by the Austro-Hungarians.   http://www.museomarmoladagrandeguerra.com/en/the-museum/the-ice-city/ http://www.geography.unibe.ch/unibe/portal/fak_naturwis/e_geowiss/c_igeogr/content/e3 9624/e39625/e39626/e496602/e508175/december1916_ger.pdf The Buzz Katherine Akey highlights our recent social media activity, including an article from PBS about The Great War documentary, a magazine feature on National WW1 Memorial Sculptor Sabin Howard, and a series of images from the Italian Front on our instagram page.    https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/goldman-prelude-red-scare-espionage-and-sedition-acts https://whitehotmagazine.com/articles/contemporary-sculpture-with-astounding-piece/3980 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTn5aTy38lk&t=494s https://www.instagram.com/ww1cc/

I realize that things have been a little quiet on the Podularity front lately, so I thought I’d reassure you I haven’t hung up my microphone. In fact, I’ve been busy producing podcasts for a wide variety of people: My most recent podcast for Faber, featuring exciting new Zimbabwean writer Petina Gappah and award-winning journalist Oliver Balch on his South American odyssey, is here. Meanwhile, Mark Thompson’s The White War has recently won the 2009 Hessell-Tiltman Prize. The prize is awarded for the best work of history published each year on events before 1945. The book is an account of the Italian Front, a major forgotten conflict of the First World War. You can hear me talk to Mark here. The series of fortnightly podcasts I am producing for Blackwells has already notched up nine editions. In the latest programme, you can hear one of Britain’s most eminent novelists, Kazuo Ishiguro, talk about his first volume of short stories, Nocturnes, a bittersweet collection that owes its inspiration to Ishiguro’s fascination with music.
