Story5
Working from both primary and secondary sources, Walter Reid explores Britain's role in the creation of the modern Middle East and the rise of Zionism from the early years of the twentieth century to 1948, when Britain handed over Palestine to United Nations' control. From the decisions that Britain made has flowed much of the instability of the region and of the worldwide tensions that threaten the twenty-first century; this thought-provoking book considers how much Britain was to blame.

Story1
Arabian Sands is Wilfred Thesiger’s stunning account of five years spent crossing the Arabian Peninsula by foot and on camels, with nomadic Bedouin tribesmen as guides. Travelling between 1945 and 1950, the British explorer treks through Yemen, the Empty Quarter, Oman, and parts of the then Trucial States, crossing and re-crossing around 250,000 miles of this most inhospitable terrain. He was the first European ever to set eyes on the dunes and wadis of these deserts.

Since the Second World War, Arab armed forces have consistently punched below their weight.

Over time, soldiers, scholars, and military experts have offered various explanations for this pattern.

The mighty, iconic A-10 Warthog was first thrust into battle in Operation Desert Storm. The men who took it through walls of flak and surface-to-air missiles to help defeat the world's fourth-largest army were as untested as their airplanes, so they relied on personal determination and the amazing A-10 to accomplish their missions, despite the odds.

De zoektocht naar de waarheid achter de vlucht en mysterieuze dood van een naziofficier. Otto Wächter was tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog verantwoordelijk voor de dood van honderdduizenden Joden en Polen. Vijfenzeventig jaar later is zijn zoon Horst nog altijd overtuigd van zijn onschuld. Aan het einde van de oorlog werd Otto Wächter beschuldigd van massamoord. Achternagezeten door de Sovjets, de Amerikanen en de Britten sloeg hij op de vlucht. Drie jaar lang verschool hij zich in de Oostenrijkse Alpen, waarna hij zich naar Rome begaf en met steun van het Vaticaan kon onderduiken.

My show’s title comes from the William Blake line about how you can see the entire world in a grain of sand. I believe that. Always have. And I know that ordinary sounds and vernacular speech hold the very truths of existence. All stories of merit—not simple anecdotes—contain hints of the universal. And I’ll go anywhere for a story and listen to anyone, and I do believe these stories exist everywhere and with everyone. I’ve heard it said that not everyone has a story. I just don’t believe that. Sometimes it’s hard to extract that story. Sometimes the teller has a hard time ...
