At Will Durant's death at 96, in 1981, his personal papers were dispersed among relatives, collectors, and archive houses. Twenty years later, scholar John Little discovered the previously unknown manuscript of Heroes of History in Durant's granddaughter's garage. Written shortly before he died, these 21 essays serve as an abbreviated version of Durant's best-selling, 11-volume series, The Story of Civilization.

Mao Zedong remains one of the most polarizing figures in modern history. Was he the visionary who unified China and lifted millions from poverty, or a tyrant whose utopian experiments caused catastrophic famine? This podcast, hosted by Lucas and Luna, doesn't take sides—it takes a scalpel to the contradictions. We trace Mao's rise from a peasant schoolteacher to the leader of the Chinese Communist Revolution, examining the Long March, the Yan'an years, and the founding of the People's Republic in 1949. We dissect the Great Leap Forward (1958-1962), the resulting Great Chinese Famine that ...

It is somewhere close to midnight on the clock when the men who fought the Second World War will still be with us. I have met just a few of them, sometimes goading them to reveal their experiences, at other times being simply a conduit to the river of their memories, sensing, on occasion, a kind of urgency to get it out there, just so these adventures and tragedies will not be lost to future enquiring minds. Michael Veitch has always been a keen historian and aeroplane fanatic.

Though uncompromising, polemical and argumentative, Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) made a lasting impact on 19th-century culture as a multi-talented man of letters. And though his lengthy history of the French Revolution proved his major scholarly legacy, On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History remains perhaps his most popular and accessible work. It presented his deep-seated belief that ‘Universal History, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here’.
