Podcasts about Overy

Eighty years ago, the world witnessed an unprecedented act of devastation: the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As the Second World War reached its conclusion, American bombers dropped two nuclear weapons in a final effort to force Japan's surrender and bring the conflict to an end. Today in The Bunker, Gavin Esler is joined by Richard Overy, author of Rain of Ruin: Tokyo, Hiroshima and the Surrender of Japan, to discuss the final days of World War II, the ethics of destroying entire cities, and how it reshaped the nature of warfare.

Send us a textJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and historian, Professor Ricahrd Overy for an insightful conversation on one of humanity's most unsettling questions: Why do we wage war? In his book, Why War? Overy takes us on a journey across time, from the ancient battlefields of the Roman Empire to the devastation of the World Wars and the conflicts shaping our present.Together, they examine what drives organized violence? Is it hardwired into human nature, or does it stem from competition for resources, power, and security? Drawing on psychology, history, and political strategy, Overy dissects the deep-rooted forces behind war— confronting the stark realities of conflict and examining whether war is an inescapable part of our past—or an unavoidable part of our future. This episode doesn't shy away from the hard truths—there are no easy answers, and Overy delivers no false hope.The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

What are the psychological and biological underpinnings of human violence and our collective propensity for war? How important really is leadership in wartime decision-making?Richard Overy is an honorary professor at the University of Exeter, and the author of several books. His latest are the brand new Rain of Ruin: Tokyo, Hiroshima, and the Surrender of Japan, and also Why War?, and Why the Allies Won. Greg and Richard discuss Richard's book, Why War?, which addresses the social and psychological aspects of war rather than just its historical dimensions. Richard explains the evolving nature of military history, the role of cultural and social factors, and the impact of major and minor conflicts throughout history. They also talk about current issues, including the war in Ukraine and how modern warfare strategies differ from traditional methods. Greg asks if Richard thinks World War II will start decreasing in importance as the generations who experienced it or stories of it pass on. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Show Links:Recommended Resources:Thomas HobbesJean-Jacques RousseauMargaret MeadJane GoodallValhallaSpartaLebensraumMarc BlochGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at University of ExeterProfile on WikipediaHis Work:Amazon Author PageRain of Ruin: Tokyo, Hiroshima, and the Surrender of JapanWhy War?Why the Allies WonThe Oxford History of World War IIThe Origins of the Second World WarBlood and Ruins: The Last Imperial War, 1931-1945The Air War, 1939-1945The Inter-War CrisisThe Bombers and the Bombed: Allied Air War Over Europe 1940-1945The Third Reich: A Chronicle1939: Countdown to WarThe Twilight Years: The Paradox of Britain Between the WarsThe Times History of the WorldEpisode Quotes:How a leader's psychology shapes the path to war28:58:  Leaders through history have played an important part, often in motivating their people to fight war and imposing their own personal ambition on what's going on. I think the problem is that this is, in some ways, the most unpredictable source of war. I mean, there's no way you can't have a standard psychological picture of the potential aggressor. And anyway, we don't know enough about Alexander, Napoleon, or even Hitler to be confident about that. But there's no doubt that, at times, a leader does come to play a very critical part in driving a particular community to war. Otherwise, of course, you know, it can be a collective decision; it can be a decision taken in cabinet, by parliament; it can be a decision taken by the tribal elders when they're sitting around the fire. But this hubristic leader, the person who thrives on war, thinks war is the solution, not the problem, is unpredictable and dangerous.The evolving history of warThe history of war has broadened out. Before, it was just soldiers and guns. But now, when you're doing the history of war, you've got to do the whole thing: politics, culture, the psychological effects on the men, women, and so on. So the history of war has become more like history in general. And I think that's why there is much more interest in war than there was 20 or 30 years ago.The role of belief in driving war51:44:  Belief is a very important driver, and I think that the effort of social scientists, particularly to say, "Oh, well, belief is, in fact, a cover for something else. It's a cover for economic interest, or it's a cover for a social crisis, or whatever it is." It's just not the case. There are plenty of warlike societies, think of the Aztecs, you know—where their cosmology is central to the way they organize their life, organize their society, the way they make war, and why they make war. And, we might look at it and say, "What an irrational view of the world," but to them, it's not an irrational view of the world; it's their view of the world. And I think, throughout recorded history, belief has played a very important part in shaping the way people think about war and why they're waging it.

"A side-swipe at oven chips" As we enter the twentieth anniversary year of one of the most seminal short films of all time, it's an opportunity for us to reflect on our own pasts as we explore the The Movie: Yeah No Yeah No DVD, which features among its bonus material the entirety of Red Dwarf VII. It's the most personal trip down memory lane in our Re-Disc-overy series so far, as we not only commentate on the fan films, but also reveal all the behind the scenes details of the haphazard production processes, cringe at our past selves' incompetence, and consider how one simple film-making competition ultimately changed all three of our lives. But that's not all, as there's an awful lot to discuss in the rest of this three disc package too. Join us as we attempt to make amends for our past criticism of someone who really didn't deserve it, reminisce about the time Grant Naylor Productions threatened us with legal action, piece together Chris Barrie's whereabouts during the bits of Series VII he wasn't in, reveal the link between this DVD and the world of gardening, and begin to assemble our complete history of Red Dwarf via the medium of cancelling every single person involved.Show notes Contemporary reviews from Ian and Cappsy The Flymo Garden Vac 2700W Turbo The Movie: Yeah No Yeah No bonus features - the video bits are also on YouTube for convenience They're amazing, and they're machines Early drafts of all the Series VII scripts, plus our original analysis of Identity Within from before the DVD version was made This is what Danny found in his DVD case.

Heartland's Tim Benson is joined by renowned historian Richard Overy to discuss his new book, Why War? They chat about why has war been such a consistent presence throughout the human past, and indeed in the human present, and what are the major drivers and motivations for war, how each has contributed to organized conflict, and whether humanity will ever evolve away from organized conflict. They also discuss the impulses embedded in human biology and psychology, the incentives to conflict developed through cultural evolution, and how competition for resources, or conflicts stirred by the passions of belief, the effects of ecological stresses, the drive for power in leaders and nations, and the search for security all contribute to this phenomenon that is unique human.Get the book here: https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324021742Show Notes:The Telegraph: James Holland – “Why humanity's appetite for war will never be sated”https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fiction/why-war-richard-overy-review/Times Literary Supplement: Edward N.

Our guest in this episode is David Wakeling, a partner at A&O Shearman, which became the world's third largest law firm in May, thanks to the merger of Allen and Overy, a UK “magic circle” firm, with Shearman & Sterling of New York.David heads up a team within the firm called the Markets Innovation Group (MIG), which consists of lawyers, developers and technologists, and is seeking to disrupt the legal industry. He also leads the firm's AI Advisory practice, through which the firm is currently advising 80 of the largest global businesses on the safe deployment of AI.One of the initiatives David has led is the development and launch of ContractMatrix, in partnership with Microsoft and Harvey, an OpenAI-backed, GPT-4-based large language model that has been fine-tuned for the legal industry. ContractMatrix is a contract drafting and negotiation tool powered by generative AI. It was tested and honed by 1,000 of the firm's lawyers prior to launch, to mitigate against risks like hallucinations. The firm estimates that the tool is saving up to seven hours from the average contract review, which is around a 30% efficiency gain. As well as internal use by 2,000 of its lawyers, it is also licensed to clients.This is the third time we have looked at the legal industry on the podcast. While lawyers no longer use quill pens, they are not exactly famous for their information technology skills, either. But  the legal profession has a couple of characteristics which make it eminently suited to the deployment of advanced AI systems: it generates vast amounts of data and money, and lawyers frequently engage in text-based routine tasks which can be automated by generative AI systems.Previous London Futurists Podcast episodes on the legal industry:Ep 53: The Legal Singularity, with Benjamin AlarieEp 47: AI transforming professional services, with Shamus RaeOther selected follow-ups:David WakelingA&O ShearmanContractMatrixHarvey AIRAG - Retrieval-Augmented GenerationDigital Operational Resilience Act (impacts banking)The Productivity J-Curve (PDF), by Erik Brynjolfsson, Daniel Rock, Chad SyversonAgentic AI: The Next Big Breakthrough That's Transforming Business And Technology, by Bernard MarrMusic: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain Declaration

„Ich versuche das einfach mal“, dachte Niklas Knieß, als er sich nach längerem Überlegen für ein Jurastudium entschied. Auf jeden Fall die richtige Wahl, denn seit Oktober 2023 ist er Associate bei A&O Shearman in Frankfurt. Eine internationale Wirtschaftskanzlei war sein klares Ziel. Warum, erzählt er Moderator Moritz Mümmler in dieser Folge unseres Podcasts.

Als er dort begann, hieß die Kanzlei noch Allen & Overy. Im Mai 2024 wurde sie durch die Fusion mit Shearman & Sterling zu A&O Shearman. Niklas findet diese Entwicklung spannend und sieht dadurch gute Möglichkeiten für die Zukunft. Wie schon bislang werde bei ihnen neben hoher Qualität und Motivation der Teamgeist großgeschrieben. „Wir sind eine coole Truppe“, sagt er. Das ist einer der Gründe, warum sich so viele Juratalente für die Kanzlei interessieren. Im Podcast nennt Niklas weitere Argumente und beschreibt, welche Skills bei A&O Shearman gefragt sind.

When Alexander crossed the Hellespont to invade the Persian Empire in 334BC, he began a thirst for war that could not be sated. Territory was not his aim, nor was power for its own sake. What of Germany in 1914 and 1939? Competition with the great powers in the former case, and a demand for resources in the second were important motivations. Joining to discuss these and other examples is Richard Overy, historian of the Second World War and the author of many bestselling and award winning books. Richard Overy Links Why War?

On today's show, Prof. Gloria Moss discusses education and how it has been corrupted at both school and higher education levels, but can also speak on the topic of the falsification of history. GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Katie has been a civil litigator for over 20 years, first in New Zealand and then in Australia. As a generalist civil litigator at first, Katie cut her teeth in employment, medico-legal, regulatory disputes, and all jurisdictional courts work before specializing in class actions and large matters. In mid-2021, Katie took a sabbatical for a year. Taking some time away from the construction team she was working for in Melbourne, Katie became concerned with what she saw as significant breaches to fundamental human rights and the failure to uphold cornerstone principles of the law. Cutting the sabbatical short, Katie joined Voices For Freedom New Zealand, a grassroots organization that assisted thousands of people who were mandated out of work and suffering other human rights violations, as their head of legal. Katie has been involved in many of the cases around mandates in New Zealand and the mRNA Covid19 products on both sides of the Tasman. Katie was a legal case manager on the kids' case in New Zealand, which is when she met Julian Gillespie and Peter Fam (through mutual experts). Following which she quickly threw her support behind the AVN and Babies' Cases in Australia when she joined PJ O'Brien & Associates. More recently, Katie is the solicitor on the record for the GMO case against Pfizer and Moderna in Australia and has been actively engaging with the US, New Zealand, and Australian governments to inform them on the UN and WHO Pandemic Treaties. Katie's focus is to ensure that the injustices and breaches of the fundamental legal principles that have occurred over the last four years not be allowed to occur again: for humanity's sake, history cannot repeat. GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Professor Moss is a professor of Management and Marketing at Buckinghamshire New University and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (FCIPD). She has a background as a Training and Development Manager for Courtaulds and Eurotunnel and has undertaken funded research on Inclusive Leadership in industry and in Higher Education as well as research examining the impacts of nationality, personality, and gender on leadership and marketing decisions.

She has conducted consultancies on leadership, the talent pipeline, and Design for large organizations including M&S, Ford, Allen and Overy solicitors, and Fujitsu.

"Disgustingly Northern" As we continue our series revisiting the now decades-old DVD releases, the main thing we re-disc-over this time out is that Series V tempts us down conversational side roads like nothing else. So join Cappsy, Danny and Ian as we discuss Juliet May's short-lived tenure as director, attempt to get to the bottom of conflicting stories about Red Dwarf USA, and uncover more examples of institutional racism within the Metropolitan Police. We also speculate as to what the visual effects workshop smelt like, hunt down pictures of Timothy Spall dressed as a pig, and confess the real reason behind our lukewarm response to the fan commentaries nearly twenty years ago. Strap yourself in, this is a waffley one.Show notes Ian's review from November 2004 A much more succinct explanation of what "crossing the line" means It's a fucking emu!

In this episode, Ayyan shares valuable insights about the legal profession including:

German real estate is very in vogue in distressed land. In keeping with that trend, German real estate investment firm Corestate Capital is trying to turn its ill fate around through asset sales after finally completed its debt restructuring three months ago. The restructuring deal took a whole year to push through after a lot of back and forth with its bondholders and shareholders.The deal was implemented consensually with a large majority of its bondholders and shareholders agreeing to the deal, which involved a 78% haircut in exchange for the noteholders taking over 80% of the company. The reinstated debt was extended to mature in 2026.However, it was not entirely straightforward. After a deal was agreed at the end of last year, the company struggled to find an auditor. It also needed to raise more bridge financing to keep afloat as the restructuring completion took longer than expected.Corestate's legal advisors Sven Pruefer and Hauke Sattler from Allen & Overy talk us through what landed the company in this mess, the proposals exchanged and what caused the delay in closing the deal.

"Ribs and Pipes and Penises (oh my!)" Our voyage of re-disc-overy continues, as we tackle a most unusual release; the one that was out in the US before the UK, and that Young Cappsy managed to review before Young Ian for once. We rake over this bitterness as well as embarking on not one, not two, but three commentaries, forgoing the tradition of focusing on one big extra in favour of covering a handful of little bitty ones, the regular features that would otherwise be glossed over. Once again, we ensure that every single aspect of the release is discussed, and along the way we re-evaluate Hattie Hayridge's return to the role of Holly, try to get to the bottom of why the cast commentaries are so difficult to get through, and attempt to comprehensively solve the issues of both war and racism.Show notes Contemporary reviews from Cappsy, Ian and Ian again.

In this episode of the Explaining History podcast, we delve into the intellectual climate of 1930s Europe, as detailed in Richard Overy's illuminating work, "The Morbid Age." The episode seeks to uncover the complex web of fears, anxieties, and escalating tensions that pervaded Britain and the broader European landscape, leading many to view the outbreak of war as an inevitability by the late 1930s.The 1930s, marked by economic turmoil, political instability, and the rise of totalitarian ideologies, were a period of profound apprehension. Overy's book provides a rich backdrop against which we explore this era, characterized by a deep-seated dread of the imminent war.This episode traverses the intricate maze of the public consciousness during this tense period, from the intellectual debates raging in Britain to the pervading sense of dread that gripped the European continent. We examine how, against this backdrop of escalating international tension, war was increasingly viewed not as a possibility, but as an impending reality.We shed light on how intellectuals, commentators, and the general populace grappled with this looming specter of conflict. From fears of aerial bombardment and the potential for total societal collapse, to the chilling realities of the totalitarian regimes emerging in Europe, this episode delves into the psyche of a continent on the brink of cataclysm.Tune in to this in-depth exploration of a Europe gripped by fear, forever shadowed by the looming specter of war. This journey into the heart of the 'Morbid Age' offers invaluable insights into a critical period in our history, shaping our understanding of the years leading up to World War II.

Richard Overy sets out in Blood and Ruins: The Last Imperial War, 1931-1945 (Viking, 2022) to recast the way in which we view the Second World War and its origins and aftermath. As one of Britain's most decorated and respected World War II historians, he argues that this was the "last imperial war," with almost a century-long lead-up of global imperial expansion, which reached its peak in the territorial ambitions of Italy, Germany and Japan in the 1930s and early 1940s, before descending into the largest and costliest war in human history and the end, after 1945, of all territorial empires. Overy also argues for a more global perspective on the war, one that looks broader than the typical focus on military conflict between the Allied and Axis states. Above all, Overy explains the bitter cost for those involved in fighting, and the exceptional level of crime and atrocity that marked the war and its protracted aftermath--which extended far beyond 1945. Blood and Ruins is a masterpiece, a new and definitive look at the ultimate struggle over the future of the global order, which will compel us to view the war in novel and unfamiliar ways. Thought-provoking, original and challenging, Blood and Ruins sets out to understand the war anew. Kelly McFall is Professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at Newman University.
