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.

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

“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”.

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

Today 529 First draft of Corpus Juris Civilis or the Justinian Code (a fundamental work in jurisprudence) is issued by Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian I Justinian: Emperor, Soldier, Saint Get this book USA at https://amzn.to/3EO0Aee Get the book UK at https://amzn.to/3Lvj2vO A definitive new biography of the Byzantine emperor Justinian Justinian is a radical reassessment of an emperor and his times. In the sixth century CE, the emperor Justinian presided over nearly four decades of remarkable change, in an era of geopolitical threats, climate change, and plague. From the eastern Roman—or Byzantine—capital of Constantinople, Justinian’s armies reconquered lost territory in Africa, Italy, and Spain. But these military exploits, historian Peter Sarris shows, were just one part of a larger program of imperial renewal. From his dramatic overhaul of Roman law, to his lavish building projects, to his fierce persecution of dissenters from Orthodox Christianity, Justinian’s vigorous statecraft—and his energetic efforts at self-glorification—not only set the course of Byzantium but also laid the foundations for the world of the Middle Ages. Even as Justinian sought to recapture Rome’s past greatness, he paved the way for what would follow.

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗨𝗻-𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻, 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 "The truth is that the assault on America today is far more radical and existential than anything that could be described with reference to political theory. To suggest otherwise is to treat our cold civil war as an abstract classroom debate, rather than a very real war against a very real nation and people. The elites — not just in the halls of government but in corporate boardrooms, the cultural industry, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and academia on down to the public education system — are not just un-American but anti-American, and militantly so. Their project is one of de-Americanization, not entirely dissimilar from the dekulakization program launched by the Soviet regime. The very explicit and overt goal is to wipe away anything recognizably American at all, and to replace what was once America with a completely new country and a completely new people." ~ Nate Hochman, America Is Not a Parchment Promise, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳 (05/20/2024) Full article: https://lnkd.in/e3V5qPkv

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
