The Death Throes of World War I RadioLIVE It’s the countdown to the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of 11 November 1918, where the world finally saw the end of its very first World War. This seven-part podcast series unravels the woes and the politics in what is often described as the “war to end all wars”, leading to an Allied Powers victory and the formation of new nations across Europe and the Middle East. We walk through the final weeks of the war with military historian Glyn Harper [Link 1] and RadioLIVE host Graeme Hill. “Jesus, make it stop: The death throes of WWI” [Link 2] originally aired on RadioLIVE’s Weekend Variety Wireless show [LINK 3}, with a new episode coming out every Sunday from 9:30pm. Harper is a professor of War Studies [Link 4] at Massey University in Palmerston North. He is also Massey’s team leader for the Centenary History of New Zealand and the First World War project (writing one of the first volumes). A former teacher, he joined the Australian Army in 1988 and after eight years transfe Short Nonfiction Collection, Vol. 085 by Various LibriVox "A regard for decency, even at the cost of success, is but the regard for one's own dignity" was novelist Joseph Conrad's take on fame, a quote from the preface to his autobiography A Personal Record (1912). Other lives chosen by readers to examine in vol. 085 include the Borgias; the Cynocephali; Hermann von Helmholtz; Edgar Allan Poe; John Burroughs; a pre-Revolutionary War magnate named Browne, who built a mansion on the ridge of a hill; women as a social class; and an 1821 rabies victim named Thomas, who exhibited hydrophobia. Political history receives scrutiny in Some Materials and a Possibility; The House Famine; Cracow; The Dutch East India Company; and Across Africa by Air and Rail. The art of Japanning illuminates an ancient craft. Literature, by Irvin Cobb, is welcome humor. And for hungry souls, there are recipes for ice cream and for Army chow! Summary by Sue Anderson.
