During World War Two, the Battle of Stalingrad was one of the most brutal engagements of the entire conflict, and would go on to be one of the bloodiest battles in the history of warfare. Over a course of six months, Soviet forces fought to defend their city against the German Army, where an estimated 1 million Soviet soldiers, and 800,000 Axis troops were killed, wounded or captured.  But why was a modest little city in southern Russia so important to Stalin and Hitler? Who were the soldiers who fought in the battle, and the civilians caught in the crossfire? And what impact did the fighting have on the outcome of the war, and the future shape of the world? This is a Short History of The Battle of Stalingrad. A Noiser production, written by Martin McNamara. With thanks to Sir Antony Beevor, a world-renowned expert on the Second World War, and author of the award-winning book, Stalingrad. Get every episode of Short History Of a week early with Noiser+.

*Content Warning - This episode contains references to rape and suicide* The Russian Civil War was a brutal episode in the rise of Bolshevik Russia. Taking place between 1917 and 1922 (after the perhaps better known, Russian Revolution) it pitted the Communist Red Army, led by Vladimir Lenin, against a loose coalition of imperialists known as the White Army. It led to five years of chaos, tumult and tragedy, and changed global history and politics as we know it today.In today's episode, James travelled to the Three Johns Pub in London - the alleged location of a fractious anti-tsarist meeting between Lenin and Trotsky - to find out more about this crucial and chaotic period in Russian history. Joined by military history heavyweight Sir Antony Beevor, author of the Russia, Revolution and Civil War: 1917-1921, to look at this chaotic conflict, they discuss why the Red Army came out on top, how the conflict birthed the infamous gulags, and the legacy of the war on Russia's military today.Senior Producer was Elena Guthrie.

On 24th February, Russia invaded Ukraine. In the weeks since, we've heard horrifying tales of human rights abuses and families forced to flee their homes. Nevertheless, Ukrainian forces have managed to resist the Russian military for now, whilst Western nations have expressed their support, sending relief to Ukraine and imposing sanctions on Russia. In this month's episode of Read Smart, we're joined by Sir Antony Beevor, a multi-award winning historian of war whose book Stalingrad, which recounted the battle between Russian and German forces in Eastern Europe in the Second World War, won the very first Samuel Johnson Prize – the precursor to the Baillie Gifford Prize. His new book, publishing this coming May, is Russia: Revolution and Civil War 1917-1921. Antony is joined by Serhii Plokhii, the professor of Ukrainian history at Harvard University, who won the 2018 Baillie Gifford Prize for Chernobyl: History of a Tragedy. Joining Antony and Serhii, is Polly Jones, the professor of Russian at The University of Oxford, who recently wrote an introduction to Ukrainian author Vassily Grossman's epic novel Life and Fate. This episode is hosted by author and critic Shahidha Bari, and generously supported by the Blavatnik Family Foundation. Listen now as these three hugely distinguished guests discuss the conflict in Ukraine, the extent to which Putin's current actions are based in historical motivation and how far the conflict marks a historical turning point. The Disasters Emergency Committee and British Red Cross are taking donations for the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal online.

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. 

Seventy-six years ago, in August, 1945, President Harry Truman made one of the most consequential decisions in history. He ordered U.S. warplanes to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and, three days later, Nagasaki, instantly incinerating tens of thousands of civilians. The bombings ended the Second World War while ushering in a new age, where human beings harnessed science and technology to create weapons of previously unimaginable power. In this episode, world-renowned war historian Sir Antony Beevor answers one of the most difficult questions to arise in the aftermath of the war: was it necessary to drop the bomb?

In this episode, we are joined by world-renowned war historian Sir Antony Beevor. When someone says the Soviet Union, not the Western allies, defeated Nazism, they can point to this date, June 22, 1941, as a pivotal moment in that narrative. Eighty years ago today, the largest invasion in history began as more than three million German soldiers attacked the USSR in Operation Barbarossa. The battle caused a cataclysm; millions of people were brutally killed, including more than a million Soviet Jews. But the USSR survived, and Barbarossa's outcome helped shape our modern world.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, shed sellers have seen a surge in demand - especially those that can be used as home offices. And existing summerhouses and garages have been commandeered, particularly by women, as a growing number expect to be working from home. Instagram is awash with images of so-called "She Sheds". Emma discusses the attraction with Joanne Harris who writes from her shed and Gill Heriz, author of A Woman's Shed. What does it say about society when protestors threaten to rape their enemies’ mothers and daughters? This is what happened in North London at the weekend when protestors waving Palestinian flags passed through a Jewish community in Finchley. Four men have now been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offences. We look at the wider issue of how rape is threatened as a common insult, used for revenge in gangs and in the wider context of war. Emma talks to the writer and feminist activist Julie Bindel and to the historian Sir Antony Beevor. This week the government has announced a range of measures to protect the environment, from banning peat in garden centres to increasing the rate of tree planting and reversing the loss of species diversity. A 10p charge on single-use plastic bags will also come into force on Friday. But what difference will these policies - and others made in the run-up to COP26 - make to the crisis facing nature and the climate? Emma Barnett speaks to Environment Minister Rebecca Pow. Five years after China scrapped its one-child policy in favour of allowing families to have two children, the country's population growth has slumped to the lowest levels seen since the early 1960s. What's behind China's falling birth rate? We hear from Dr Ye Liu, a senior lecturer in international development at Kings College London.

In this episode of Citizen Soldier, the preeminent scholar of WWI, Sir Hew Strachan, sits down with WWII historian Sir Antony Beevor to discuss the world’s first truly global conflict.

Basert på en sann historie Hvorfor er vi plutselig blitt så utrolig fascinert av historie? Flykter vi fra nåtiden? Leter vi etter hemmelige ledetråder som bedre kan forberede oss på fremtiden? Ukens gjest er ingen ringere enn Sir Antony Beevor. Beevor er en av verdens fremste krigshistorikere, og har vært løytnant i den britiske hæren – hvilket betyr at vi endelig får oss en ekte krigshistorie-bonanza extravaganza i studio! Anders nørder over Beevors kildeliste, Sturla får medhold i Stalin/Kirov “window of opportunity”-teorien sin, og vi andre sitter musestille og måpende i bakgrunnen og funderer litt over vår egen dødelighet i et historisk perspektiv. Såh, kjære nest-besteborgerlige venner, nå skal vi lære hva som faktisk er sant og ikke. Let´s leave it to Beevor!!!!

The Dutch town of Arnhem saw one of the most dramatic incidents of the Allies’ advance towards Germany, when an airborne landing failed to capture its crossing over the Rhine – later immortalised on film as ‘a bridge too far’. Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery is testament to the anguish of ongoing occupation as well as eventual liberation, and sits at the heart of a community where remembrance is still an important ritual. We speak to Willemien Rieken, a former ‘flower child’ who’s laid flowers at one grave in Oosterbeek War Cemetery for 75 years; historian Sir Antony Beevor about the wider conflict in 1944; and former Glider Pilot Jim Hooper, who landed troops in Arnhem during Operation Market Garden. We also explore the Arnhem Airborne Museum, situated in the former hotel which was used as a headquarters by Commonwealth forces during the operation.

Introduced by Barry Cryer, Sir Antony Beevor spoke at the Oldie's July lunch about the British fascination with defeat, the disaster at Arnhem bridge and Field Marshal Montgomery's appalling behaviour before, during and after the battle.Antony Beevor's book is Arnhem: The Battle for the Bridges, 1944.

En av verdens fremste historikere, Sir Antony Beevor, besøkte Litteraturhuset Fredrikstad i oktober 2018. Krigshistorikeren er ute med boken «Arnhem» om hva som skjedde de ti dramatiske og dødelige dagene i september 1944: Hitlers tropper sto ansikt til ansikt med de allierte soldatene som få uker tidligere hadde gått i land i Normandie, under D-dagen. Slaget om Arnhem, også kalt Arnhem-operasjonen, var Hitler-Tysklands siste store seier på Vestfronten. Slaget ga nazistene nytt håp og nytt mot – i noen uker.Produsent: Litteraturhuset FredrikstadRedigering: Litteraturhuset FredrikstadJingle: Christoffer SchouFoto: John E.

ARNHEM: THE HEART OF WAR The nation’s premier military historian has analysed conflicts in places that proved pivotal during the Second World War such as Berlin and Stalingrad. Now he turns to Arnhem, where Britain, America and the Netherlands tried in vain to thwart the Nazis’ hopes for dominion. In Arnhem: The Battle for the Bridges, 1944, Sir Antony Beevor explores why this project failed, but also why it became ‘the last German victory’. Chaired by Sheena McDonald.

ENG: We love all our guests equally but seriously, we’re starstruck to have Sir Antony Beevor in the studio. Beevor is an unparalleled writer of military history and is best known for his works Stalingrad and Berlin – The Downfall 1945. He’s here to talk about his new book Arnhem – The Battle for The Bridges, 1944, but will also tell our historiographer Mattis Bergwall the tale of why he can’t travel to Russia, answer a bunch of listeners questions and explain just how bloodthirsty the allies (!) were during Market Garden. Enjoy! SWE: Vi har den stora äran att presentera Sir Antony Beevor som gäst i detta avsnitt. Han är kanske den främste nu levande militärhistorikern och ligger bland annat bakom mästerverken Stalingrad och Berlin – slutstriden 1945. I detta avsnitt pratar han med Mattis om sin nya bok Arnhem, men han kommer också att svara på en bunt lyssnarfrågor, berätta varför han riskerar att gripas om han reser till Ryssland samt avslöja hur blodtörstiga de allierade luftburna soldaterna var under operation Market Garden.

Kirsty Young's castaway is military historian, Sir Antony Beevor. His books about some of the key battles of the Second World War are best-sellers and have been credited with reinvigorating the whole genre. There was little indication of this future success while he was boarder at Winchester public school where he failed to pass either his History or his English A levels. During the five years he spent in the army, including two years at Sandhurst for officer training, he studied history under the great military historian, John Keegan. On deciding he wanted to be a writer, his first three novels had limited success, and he was encouraged by his publishers to draw on his experience of army life and turn his talents to military history. His ground-breaking work Stalingrad was based on what he discovered in the Russian military archives and won him the Samuel Johnson Prize, the Wolfson Prize for History and the Hawthornden Prize. In his book Berlin: the Downfall 1945, he wrote about the mass rapes of German women committed by the Red Army at the end of the war. He was knighted in the 2017 New Year honours list. He is married to the writer Artemis Cooper.Producer: Cathy Drysdale.
