Heartland Daily Podcast

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Nick Lloyd, Professor of Modern Warfare at King’s College London, to discuss his new book, The Eastern Front: A History of the Great War, 1914-1918. They chat about the scale of the conflict, how the most radical aspect of the struggle in the east was that the violence was not confined to combatants, and how the repercussions of the war in the east, including the fall of three great empires and the rise of Bolshevism, were much more profound than the war in the west.Get the book here: https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324092711Show Notes:Financial Times: Margaret MacMillan – “The Eastern Front by Nick Lloyd — truth bombs”https://www.ft.com/content/8e29eba7-a91a-40a6-a5e5-47369a7c70ebLiterary Review: Jonathan Boff – “Graveyard of Empires”https://literaryreview.co.uk/graveyard-of-empiresThe Spectator: Tessa Dunlop – “The horrors of the Eastern Front”https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-horrors-of-the-eastern-front/The Telegraph: Simon Heffer – “How the carnage on the Eastern
