This week on War History Network I discuss the perils of active command in classical warfare. Leading from the front involves inherent risk for commanders who participate in this form of leadership. Perhaps the greatest example of a general who led from the front is Alexander III of Macedon, known to history as Alexander the Great, with his injuries taking a toll both physically and psychologically.

“In this week’s episode of Breaking History, Gordon and I review the deeper Rhodes Scholar roots of NATO with a look to current global events. We did a pretty fair job tying together a variety of themes ranging from King Edward VII’s role in setting the stage for Sykes Picot pre-WWI, to Edward VII’s direct role in orchestrating World War 1 itself an the role of the Cecil-Russell family in bringing an array of think tanks online centering around the Rhodes Trust network, and Fabian Society which worked closely together to establish the League of Nations. When that fascist world-government plan failed, we discuss how this same network murdered a number of heroic political figures during the 1920s in order to make a second and then 3rd and then fourth attempt at establishing an Anglo-American New World Order culminating in the rise of NATO. How the multipolar alliance is combating this moral virus today is also discussed at some length”.

Great Battles of the Early Roman Empire Get this book USA at https://amzn.to/3NfgHpR Get the book UK at https://amzn.to/49HX6bg Dr Simon Elliott describes eight of the greatest, most decisive of the Roman Empire of the first to third centuries. The list includes battles fought from the highlands of Scotland and the forests of Germany to the deserts of the Middle East. They show how the vaunted Roman legions adapted to extremes of terrain and climate as well as a wide array of very different foes, from the wild Caledonian tribes to the sophisticated, combined-arms armies of Sassanid Persia with their war elephants and superb cavalry. Some of the battles even pit the Roman legions against their own kind in brutal civil wars. After an introductory chapter on the Imperial Roman army, detailing its organization, equipment, tactics and doctrine, the author moves on to describing each battle in detail. He sets the strategic context and background of the chosen engagement before analysing the size and composition of the opposing forces, also detailing the nature of the enemy faced. The manoeuvres leading up to the battle are described, followed by deployment and the course of the fighting itself. Finally, the aftermath and implications of the battles outcome are assessed. The well-researched and engaging text is supported by clear maps

Trainee at the Institute for the Danube Region and Central Europe (IDM) / Contributor at Jefferson - Lettere sull'America
Today is V-E Day, the celebration of the Allies' Victory in Europe over Nazi-Fascism. Sixty-nine years ago, Reichspräsident Karl Dönitz signed Germany's unconditional surrender to the Allies, first on the Western Front on May 7th and then on the Eastern Front on May 8th. To remember those who fought for freedom and democracy and all the victims of #WWII, I would suggest you check out the YouTube Channel World War Two. Produced by TimeGhost, it's an incredible project of #PublicHistory in which the entire war is being covered on a week-by-week basis, with extreme attention to detail and historical accuracy 📖 Academia, institutions, and think tanks should use this work as an example of how to make knowledge accessible to the general public without sacrificing complexity and depth. https://lnkd.in/dWzthcF9

The First Chechen War is yet another example of a major power possessing all conventional military advantages losing to a much smaller side. Morale, planning, overconfidence and extreme difficulty of overcoming guerilla warfare against a determined side are all factors to consider. Just manpower and firepower advantage is not always enough. You also need a powerful story and unwavering commitment to reach your goal. Chechens had both in bunches in this war. Watch this video on the First Chechen War, the script for which was written by me. https://lnkd.in/e_x9_p7R

I speak of peace What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children--not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women--not merely peace in our time but peace for all time. I speak of peace, therefore, as the necessary rational end of rational men. I realize that the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war--and frequently the words of the pursuer fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent task. President John F. Kennedy Washington, D.C. June 10, 1963
