In Burying the Enemy: The Story of Those who Cared for the Dead in Two World Wars (Yale University Press, 2025), Tim Grady recounts here a detailed history of the fate of combatants who died on enemy soil in England and Germany in  World Wars I and II. The books draws on a rich archive of personal family experiences, and describes the often touching acts of kindness and reconciliation with families caring for graves of enemy personnel in churchyards and local cemeteries close to where those deaths took place. Both sides were at pains to photograph tended graves, demonstrating reciprocal respect. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission and the German equivalent - the VDK - obscured decision-making around repatriation, which led to some family distress. Grady recounts in detail the creation of the German military cemetery at Cannock Chase, which comprised a year-long programme of exhumations across the UK. This book is a highly readable and touching account of the tensions that arose between families and the state in response to military death in the World Wars, offering a unique insight into personal German/English relations during both and after both conflicts. Tim Grady is professor of modern history at the University of Chester. Dr Julie Rugg is a Reader in Social Policy at the University of York, UK. She has an abiding interest in the ways in which societies come to an accommodation with mortality. The Cemetery Research website connects scholars with similar interests and in multiple disciplines from around the world.

[00:30] The Unthinkable Will Happen (38 minutes) Mainstream American media sources are applauding Germany's urgent pivot toward remilitarization as a “historic achievement." Europe is discussing military unification that could fundamentally restructure the European Union. The Bible describes what this reorganized Europe will ultimately look like and where this new era of German rearmament will lead. [38:20] WorldWatch (4 minutes) [42:00] Directionless Democrats (14 minutes) After years of controlling the federal government and the media narrative, the Democratic Party is now leaderless, directionless and powerless.

This month Angus, Chris and Jessica discuss Jessica's professorial inaugural lecture, 'No (Wo)man's Land: writing history at the intersection of gender and First World War studies'.   Along the way we consider the problem of masculinity as an empty analytic category, the importance of the centenary for the study of the First World War and what Jessica might have done if she hadn't gone in to academia. There is also a sneak preview of exciting forthcoming and future projects from all three of us.     References: Jessica Meyer, ‘On Being a Woman and a War Historian' Jessica Meyer, Men of War: Masculinity and the First World War in Britain (2008) Jessica Meyer, Equal Burden: The Men of the Royal Army Medical Corps in the First World War (2019) Kate Adie, Fighting on the Home Front: The Legacy of Women in World War One (2013) Kate Adie, ‘Don't write first world war women out of history', The Guardian, 23rd September, 2013 Barbara Tuchman, The Guns of August (1962) Deborah Thom, Nice Girls and Rude Girls: Women Workers in World War 1 (1998) Tammy Proctor, Female Intelligence: Women and Espionage in the First World War (2003) Margaret MacMillan, Peacemakers (2001) Adrian Gregory, The Last Great War (2008) Jeremy Paxman, Great Britain's Great War (2013) John Tosh and Michael Roper (eds), Manful Assertions: Masculinities in Britain Since 1800 (1991) Denise Riley, Am I That Name?: Feminism and the Category of ‘Women' (1988) R.W.

Kristine M. McCusker's book Just Enough to Put Him Away Decent: Death Care, Life Extension, and the Making of a Healthier South, 1900-1955 (U Illinois Press, 2023) takes, as its focus, the combined history of death and health in the American South between 1900 and 1955. The text is ambitious in scope, and weaves together multiple oral histories to create a nuanced and engaging narrative. McCusker charts the ways in which low life expectancy in the South was regarded as problematic by commercial life insurance firms, concerned that their customers were paying insufficient dues before mortality provoked funeral expenditures, and the various Churches seeking to save souls before an untimely demise robbed them of the opportunity. Both agencies were heavily invested in health care. McCusker expertly weaves further threads into this complex narrative: Southern funeral practices, the theological basis for strong belief in family re-union at death, and racial divides that created exclusions and opportunities for the Black Americans to express their own deathways, increasingly supported through commercial enterprise. Two World Wars test and refine common frameworks for organizing the dead, and McCusker underlines the importance, amongst other things, of etiquette guidance on the correct ways to grieve and to express condolence. This is a remarkably rich text that will intrigue a more general readership and prove essential to death scholars in the US and further afield. Learn more about your ad choices.

Stephen Bourne saw Goldfinger in the cinema in 1964 as an ‘impressionable little gay boy'. Author of one of the first (if not the first) books to see Bond films queerly, Stephen reveals how his thinking about the ‘offensive' characters in Bond has become more nuanced since he wrote the book - and urges everyone to keep a more open mind. Stephen is the author of Brief Encounters: Lesbians and Gays in British Cinema, published in 1996. To my knowledge, this is one of very first (if not the first) books to treat Bond films as ‘queer' films. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brief-Encounters-Lesbians-British-1930-71/dp/0304332860  Fighting Proud is the book which first drew Stephen to my attention. Published in 2017, the book reveals the untold stories of the gay men who served in Two World Wars. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fighting-Proud-Untold-Story-Served/dp/1784538744  Stephen published his very first book in 1991, collaborating with his adopted aunt on relating her life as a black working-class Londoner. The book was later turned into a documentary, which you can view here: https://youtu.be/710s3ljCKag?si=XPgvRsJHs9WF8Egy  2022's Black Poppies: The Story of Britain's Black Community in the First World War is Stephen's bestselling book to date, currently in its third printing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Poppies-Story-Britains-Community/dp/0750999632/ref=sr_1_1?crid=19LQ4MO9E51VN&keywords=black+poppies&qid=1705232380&s=books&sprefix=black+poppies%2Cstripbooks%2C65&sr=1-1 

Ao quinto episódio, lançamo-nos à espionagem feminina ao longo da História. Objetivo da missão: revelar papéis preponderantes de mulheres na resolução de grandes conflitos, recorrendo à Antiguidade e à extraordinária Josephine Baker (essa mesmo); lembrando as corajosas Mildred Harnack e Virginia Hall no combate pela Liberdade, mesmo no coração do nazismo; e ainda espreitando (QED) o extraordinário caso das D Day Girls, fundamentais para o desembarque aliado na Normandia e para a Europa que conhecemos - e vivemos - hoje.

Listen to author and critic Erica Wagner in conversation with Selby Wynn Schwartz, writer of “After Sappho”, her first novel published by Galley Beggar Press in 2022. Together, they talk about her insatiable appetite for literature as a child and the way it led her to becoming a writer. They also evoke Lina Poletti, Sarah Bernhardt, Virginia Woolf or even Nathalie Barney, the women artists who inspired “After Sappho”, the book in which Selby Wynn Schwartz pays tribute to them.As part of the Rendez-vous littéraires rue Cambon [Literary Rendezvous at Rue Cambon], the podcast "les Rencontres" highlights the birth of a writer in a series imagined by CHANEL and House ambassador and spokesperson Charlotte Casiraghi.Selby Wynn Schwartz, After Sappho, © Selby Wynn Schwartz 2002, first published by Galley Beggar Press, 2022.Quote from the interview "The Galley Beggar Q&A: Selby Wynn Schwartz", © Galley Beggar Press, 2022.Quote from the article "After Sappho by Selby Wynn Schwartz review – in praise of visionary women" written by Lara Feigel, © Guardian News & Media Ltd 2023.© Booker Prize Foundation.© The Orwell Prize for Political Fiction 2023.© University of Edinburgh.Selby Wynn Schwartz, The Bodies of Others: Drag Dances and their Afterlives, © Selby Wynn Schwartz University of Michigan Press, 2019.© Lambda Literary. © American Society for Theatre Research.Selby Wynn Schwartz, A Life in Chameleons, © Selby Wynn Schwartz, 2023. © Reflex Press. © University of California, Berkeley. © Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo.

In this episode of the Yale University Press Podcast, we talk with Helen Fry, author of Women in Intelligence: The Hidden History of Two World Wars.

From the twentieth century onward, women took on an extraordinary range of roles in intelligence, defying the conventions of their time. Across both world wars, far from being a small part of covert operations, women ran spy networks and escape lines, parachuted behind enemy lines, and interrogated prisoners. And, back in Bletchley and Whitehall, women's vital administrative work in MI offices kept the British war engine running. In this major, panoramic history, Helen Fry looks at the rich and varied work women undertook as civilians and in uniform. From spies in the Belgian network “La Dame Blanche,” knitting coded messages into jumpers, to those who interpreted aerial images and even ran entire sections, Fry shows just how crucial women were in the intelligence mission. Filled with hitherto unknown stories, Women in Intelligence: The Hidden History of Two World Wars (Yale UP, 2023) places new research on record for the first time and showcases the inspirational contributions of these remarkable women.

From the twentieth century onward, women took on an extraordinary range of roles in intelligence, defying the conventions of their time. Across both world wars, far from being a small part of covert operations, women ran spy networks and escape lines, parachuted behind enemy lines, and interrogated prisoners. And, back in Bletchley and Whitehall, women's vital administrative work in MI offices kept the British war engine running.

Helen Fry – Women in Intelligence: The Hidden History of Two World Wars...with TRE's Giles Brown

We are extraordinarily grateful that historian and biographer Dr. Helen Fry made time for us right as her latest book Women in Intelligence: The Hidden History of Two World Wars was released in the UK and is poised to launch in the United States.  This new book is filled with intrigue hidden in plain sight. Spies recruited at cafés, ordinary women bicycling around town passing along messages to help the Allies, secret codes knit into jumpers (that's the British English word for what we Americans call sweaters). Helen Fry has authored too many popular books to count. These include: The London Cage, The Walls Have Ears, MI9, Spymaster: The Man who Saved M16 and more than twenty books on intelligence, prisoners of war, and the social history of World War II. She appears regularly in media interviews and podcasts and has been involved in numerous documentaries. Here's the official, delicious description of Women in Intelligence: “In this major, panoramic history, Helen Fry looks at the rich and varied work women undertook as civilians and in uniform. From spies who worked for the Belgian network ‘La Dame Blanche', knitting coded messages into jumpers, to those who interpreted aerial images and even ran entire sections, Fry shows just how crucial women were in the intelligence mission.” Nigel West, author of Spies Who Changed History described Women in Intelligence as “A fascinating, minutely researched study of women in the espionage business.” And Clare Mulley, author of The Spy Who Loved, warns us: “Beware – this is a book full of danger and deception, sabotage and secret codes, and some brilliant, unstoppable women.  “This account is long overdue. Helen Fry redresses the relative neglect of the contribution of women as intelligence officer and agents during and between the two world wars, with gripping personal stories of bravery, grit and analytic brilliance.”—Sir David Omand GCB, former Director of GCHQ Helen Fry was raised in North Devon and went on to graduate from the University of Exeter with a degree and Ph.D. The focus of her (okay, we've counted now. It's ) 25 books has been the 10,000 Germans and Austrians who fought for Britain, and intelligence, espionage and prisoners of war. Her highly acclaimed book The Walls Have Ears: The Greatest Intelligence Operation of WWII was in the top 8 Daily Mail's Books of the Year in War, and has been optioned for film.  Contact Booked Up: You can email Jen & the Booked Up team at: BOOKEDUP@POLITICON.COM or by writing to:  BOOKED UP  P.O.

This week my friend Amanda Held Opelt returns, and we discuss grief rituals, why they were popular in the reign of Queen Victoria, and the impact of the first world war on our cultural grief rituals and how we process grief & loss. We also explore how the trauma and grief culturally felt and experienced in the first World War, had an impact on the allied nations initial response to Hitler's tyranny and how this could have inadvertently contributed to WWII.  We then discuss how defeat and having to face up to their actions as a nation, and do the work of healing and transformation, impacted Germany and their culture, and how victory contributed indirectly too many of the problems we now see in the UK and Germany.

This week, hosts Isabella and Elizabeth speak with Nicole Eaton, an associate professor in the History Department with an interest in Soviet history, World War II, and the inner workings and cultures of the European cities whose urban spaces were redesigned during wartime. On March 14th, she released her new book, German Blood, Slavic Soil, which examines how Königsberg, a 700-year-old German port city, became one of Hitler's most significant military bases, only to become known as Kaliningrad in 1945 and fall under Stalin's regime. Professor Eaton describes the work as “a history of everyday life, violence, occupation, and urban transformation of one city on the Eastern Front before, during, and after the Second World War.”  Tune in to learn about Professor Eaton's extensive research into German and Soviet history, the complex connections between rulers, and how one city can be a lens through which we can better understand the rise and fall of empires. Check back in next week for new episodes!

For your delight and delectation, the Northern One of Broken Oars Podcast offers a from the ground-up look at the basics and essentials of moving a boat well.   Given that every rower who as ever rowed knows exactly how to row a boat and it isn't what everyone else is doing but them, this represents Broken Oars creating a hostage to fortune ...   ... but given that hostage is Northern, he is therefore expendable, as many Northerners have found out to their cost in things like North Sea Oil and Two World Wars.   Rowing is not a matter of life and death in that regard. No, it's far more important than that.   So, here we talk about basic and complex concepts, breaking them down and looking at things we can do to improve every part of our stroke profile so that when we put it all together we create the beautiful, flowing motion that is good rowing. Think of it as an alien's guide to rowing well - if aliens who can travel across the galaxy using gravity propulsion engines that warp the laws of space and time ever decided that what they really wanted to do was to get in a boat.   In this episode we talk about: 1) Moving a boat - how an oar actually works.   2) Getting a Grip - learning to feel the difference between holding the water and weight on the face and ripping or slipping it.   3) The Best Kind of Stroke (and this is where the arguments start, but I've got physics and rowing on my side).   4) Creating the Unbroken Sequence: understanding how each part of the stroke profile informs the next and the whole.   5) Sitting at Backstops: why sorting this out starts sorting everything else out.   6) Posture: Kev was right - sit up, head up, airways clear, push the small of your back towards your belly button and ... relax!   7) Hands: relaxing the death grip and learning to play the piano.   8) The Importance of the Centre Line: learning to control your sack of potatoes.   9) Balance: can help in life; is essential in a boat.   10) Why Lateral Pressure is your Friend.   11) Controlling the Slide: Stop crashing frontstops and slamming backstops, ffs.   12) Why the Knees are Important - and not just if you want to do the Charleston well.   13) Compression: Or why 'length is good = more length is better' idea is absolute bollocks.   14) Shoulders: why everything is dictated by your shoulders.   In Part Two: if i haven't been lynched by angry coaches, rowers and broken oars listeners, we'll be talking about the catch, the drive, and GETTING YOUR BLOODY BLADE OFF THE WATER BY SORTING OUT ALL OF THE ABOVE!   So, if aliens ever come to earth, and they by some strange chance watch or listen to this, they'll be able to take us on in a winner-takes-all 2000 metre race for earth. And if you prefer to watch, we're now on Youtube:   https://youtu.be/SXuu0Y_BXmo   Get Some.   Stern Four? Bow Four? Listen to this, and don't come back until you've actually taken ownership of your rowing.

An Unsung Hero: Rescuing Shirley Chisholm's Life from Symbolism With Author Anastasia Curwood, Professor of History and Director of African American & Africana Studies at the University of Kentucky: Decades before Hillary Clinton there was Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, running an outsider's campaign for the 1972 Democratic Presidential nomination. Two remarkable things happened next – armed with less than $300,000 in campaign funds, Congresswoman Chisholm finished a remarkable 4th in the final vote tally and secondly, she has been largely lost to history with a dearth of scholarship. Anastasia Curwood, Professor of History and Director of African American & Africana Studies at the University of Kentucky speaks with host Richard Levick of LEVICK to fill many of those unfortunate gaps, discussing her new book Shirley Chisholm: Champion of Black Feminist Power Politics. Her scholarship focuses on the interface between private life and historical context for black Americans in the twentieth century. She is also the author of Stormy Weather: Middle-Class African American Marriages Between the Two World Wars.

In this episode, I interview author Blaine Pardoe on his book Lost Eagles: One Man's Mission to Find Missing Airmen in Two World Wars, which is the story of Fred Zinn. In this interview we talk about Fred Zinn, and his service in World War One in the French and American military, as well as his service in World War II. He pioneer the concept of recovering lost airmen, and the system he implemented still exists today for the American Military.

Two World Wars and famine affected  Andrea's ancestors in Romania, but Andrea herself also experienced the effects from those events.  One of the most apparent effects came through beliefs about wealth.  One family branch says buy land so you always have a way to provide for your family.  Another branch says saving is pointless, enjoy your money while you have it.  Andrea shares how awareness and curiosity helped her identify those beliefs and choose what beliefs she would make part of her future.

During the interwar period there were some areas in which British politics would change, but in many ways it would be more of the same.

In Irma's Passport: One Woman, Two World Wars, and a Legacy of Courage (She Writes Press, 2021), Catherine Ehrlich explores her Austrian grandparents' influential lives at the crossroads of German and Jewish national movements. Weaving her grandmother Irma's spellbinding memoirs into her narrative, she profiles a charismatic woman who confronts history with courage and rebuilds lives—for herself and Europe's dispossessed. Starting out in Bohemia's picturesque countryside, Irma studies languages in Prague alongside Kafka and Einstein—and so joins Europe's intelligentsia. Tension builds as World War I destroys that world, and Irma marries prominent Zionist, Jakob Ehrlich, bold advocate for Vienna's 180,000 Jews. Irma's direct words detail the weeks after Hitler's arrival when Adolf Eichmann himself appears to liberate Irma and her son from Vienna. Irma's stunning turnaround in London unfolds amidst a dazzling cohort of luminaries—Chaim and Vera Weizmann, and Viscountess Beatrice Samuel among them. Irma finds her voice as an activist, saving lives and resettling refugees, and ultimately moves on to New York where her work resumes among high-profile friends like Catskills hostess Jennie Grossinger.
