And if asking an Alabama fan to recall his favorite player, don’t be surprised if you are asked to be more specific: "Which year? Which game? Which position?" Such is the tradition and legacy of the program.

Conventional histories of the Great War have tended to focus on the terrible attritional battles of Ypres, of Arras and of the Somme.

Now for the first time, one of Britain's leading military historians, Richard van Emden tells the story of the Great War exclusively through the words and images of soldiers on the ground.

Harry Patch, the last British soldier alive to have fought in the trenches of the First World War, is now 109 years old and one of very few people who can directly recall the horror of that conflict. After a rural childhood in Somerset, Harry left school in 1913 to become a plumber. Three years later he was fighting in the mud and trenches during the Battle of Passchendaele. He saw a great many of his comrades die, and in one dreadful moment the shell that wounded him killed his three closest friends.

That meeting would impact American history, and change the lives of countless numbers of people, especially...

"Dødens årsag" er en kulturhistorisk fortælling om, hvordan danskerne gennem tiden har slået hinanden ihjel. Ved hjælp af dokumenter fra obduktioner og ligsyn bringes vi tæt på historier om aftægtsdrab, giftmord og vold. De afslører en fascinerende opfindsomhed, når det gælder om at slå ihjel, men giver os også et indblik i helt almindelige danskeres liv og daglige udfordringer.
