  The Battle of Waterloo -...

  In the early months of 1815, Europe found itself once again on the brink of war. Napoleon Bonaparte, exiled to the island of Elba after his abdication in 1814, had made a daring return to France. On March 1, he landed on the southern coast and began a dramatic march north to Paris. Along the way, regiments sent to arrest him instead joined his cause. By mid-March, he had reclaimed power in what would be known as the Hundred Days. This return sent shockwaves across the continent and disrupted the fragile peace established by the Congress of Vienna. 
  The leaders of the major European powers—Britain, Prussia, Austria, and Russia—swiftly moved to form the Seventh Coalition. Their shared goal was simple: defeat Napoleon once and for all. The coalition agreed to raise massive armies and converge on France from multiple directions. Among the key figures in this alliance were the Duke of Wellington, commanding Anglo-allied forces, and Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, leading the Prussians. Napoleon, ever the strategist, understood the urgency of striking quickly before these forces could unite. 
  France, still weary from years of revolution and war, was divided in its support. While many rallied to Napoleon out of loyalty or fear, others viewed his return as a dangerous setback. Nonetheless, he managed to raise an army of around 124,000 men—smaller than the coalition forces, but composed largely of veterans loyal to him. Napoleon's plan hinged on speed: he would drive a wedge between Wellington and Blücher’s armies in Belgium, defeat them separately, and then force a negotiated peace.

  What Is Property? - An Inquiry...

  Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

  ‘Property is Theft’, a phrase which has passed into common parlance, was the rallying call of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon’s political treatise What Is Property? Proudhon (1809-1865) was both admired and excoriated. A political theorist of the first order, he was vilified in his native France by the Communists and the Monarchists alike, though admired by Karl Marx as well as many in the nation’s academia and judiciary who valued the clarity of his thought and analytical method.  
   
  He criticised both Right and Left (the very definition of French political thinking), describing them as two sides of the same coin. Their solutions to society’s ills, he said, were like Thesis and Antithesis, based on a common error and both inadequate to the task of healing society. He offered, instead, a third way, which he called his Synthesis. Regarded as the founder of modern Anarchism, his aim was not to engender chaos, as the word anarchy often connotes, but to suggest a workable, political, and economic foundation for society which would promote order and equity for all under the most unfettered conditions of individual liberty.  
   
  Proudhon grew up in poverty, and was home schooled as a child, but received a bursary in his youth sufficient to allow him to attend the City College in his home town (though not sufficient, it seems, to buy him shoes). There, he discovered the library which introduced him to a world, classical and contemporary, previously denied him. Lacking wealth or contacts, he worked variously as a printer, a compositor and proof-reader by day and an essayist by night, learning Latin along the way to assist in his work. In 1830, a friend, a scholar, invited Proudhon to join him in Paris to pursue his philosophical writings full time. When a cholera outbreak forced his return home, Proudhon spent the next few years juggling his two careers. In 1839, he applied for a pension (bursary) at the Academy of Besançon which obliged him to write works on its behalf.  
   
  What Is Property?, published in France in 1840, was his first. It was so controversial that little else followed. However, it established his reputation, and he was eventually able to pursue his philosophical work full time. What Is Property? (First Memoir) attempts to uncover the roots of poverty and associated social ills and examines different attitudes to poverty and wealth from the Greeks to the present day. Proudhon quickly identifies a common thread, property, which he distinguishes from possession, and argues that only a fundamental, though gradual, abandonment of property (as an asset) and all that flows from it, can rescue society from its current conflicts. The memoir seeks to illuminate the underlying causes of war, poverty, slavery, and oppression and points the way to a solution. In effect, it is a practical manual for the survival of mankind. The Second Memoir (1841), included on this recording, is Proudhon’s response to the criticisms of the First Memoir, initially uncomprehending and then self-assured by turns. What Is Property? is Proudhon’s masterwork. It divides opinion, but no one who hears it can come away with their view of their own world unchanged.

  Living Hell - The Dark Side of...

  Michael C.C. Adams

  Many Americans, argues Michael C. C. Adams, tend to think of the Civil War as more glorious, less awful, than the reality. In Living Hell, Adams tries a different tack, clustering the voices of myriad actual participants on the firing line or in the hospital ward to create a virtual historical reenactment. 
   
   
   
  Neither film nor reenactment can fully capture the hard truth of the four-year conflict. Living Hell presents a stark portrait of the human costs of the Civil War and gives listeners a more accurate appreciation of its lasting consequences. 
   
   
   
  Adams examines the sharp contrast between the expectations of recruits versus the realities of communal living, the enormous problems of dirt and exposure, poor diet, malnutrition, and disease. He describes the slaughter produced by close-order combat, the difficulties of cleaning up the battlefields, and the resulting psychological damage survivors experienced. 
   
   
   
  Drawing extensively on letters and memoirs of individual soldiers, Adams assembles vivid accounts of the distress Confederate and Union soldiers faced daily: sickness, exhaustion, hunger, devastating injuries, and makeshift hospitals where saws were often the medical instrument of choice.
