Twelve days at Anzac: the evacuation
Over one hundred years ago, one of the most remarkable operations in military history occurred at the Dardanelles with the evacuation in December 1915 of 83,000 Australian, New Zealand, British and Indian troops from the Gallipoli Peninsula without a single loss of life. It will, as, one contemporary German correspondent reporting from the Turkish lines exclaimed, âstand before the eyes of all strategists as a hitherto unattained masterpieceâ.

A TALE OF REMEMBRANCE, ADMONITION, AND DESPAIR: ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT
Reading time: 6 minutes
The vivid and graphic imagery of the First World War has indeed become a potent symbol of the need for everlasting commemoration, and a continuous reminder of armed conflictâs futility. Yet with the inevitable passing of time, direct links to the âWar to end all Warsâ have regretfully vanished, with all veterans who served in the trenches now gone. This most special group of soldiers may now be physically silent, but their haunting messages of warning remain.

Sino-Vietnamese War
Reading time: 5 minutes
The Sino-Vietnamese war was a short, nasty conflict fought between China and Vietnam in early 1979. Largely forgotten by almost everybody including the belligerents, it was a side plot of the Sino-Soviet split, itself a sideshow to the Cold War. Letâs go over the events before, during and after the war to see what it was all about.

Dispatches from Red Square: reporting Russiaâs revolutions then and now
Reading time: 9 minutes
âNo news from Petrograd yesterdayâ, was the headline in the Daily Mail on March 14, 1917. The story â or non-story â which followed, was only a few dozen words: âUp to a late hour last night the Russian official report, which for many months has come to hand early, had not been receivedâ, it ran. So why publish it? The non-appearance of the daily news bulletin from the Russian government had led the Mailâs writer, trying to prepare a report in London, to suspect something was going on.
WHY IS CHARLES CURTISâS LEGACY SO COMPLICATED?
Reading time: 6 minutes
Since the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, journalists, scholars, and activists have celebrated Harris as the first vice president who is a woman and of Asian American and African American heritage. She is not, however, the first person of color to hold the office. For many people, this comes as a surprise. However, for scholars of Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS), as well as many US historians whose work focuses on the executive branch of the federal government, Charles Curtisâs name is already well-known. Curtis, a member of the Kaw Nation and the first person of color to serve as vice president, is suddenly a figure of popular interest.Â

From micro to macro, Andrew Leighâs accessible history covers the economic essentials
Reading time: 6 minutes
Andrew Leighâs The Shortest History of Economics is the latest in a series of such histories, mostly focused on particular countries.
It begins with a striking mini-history of household lighting, focusing on the amount of labour required to produce the light now given off by a standard lightbulb: 58 hours for a wood fire, five hours for a candle based on animal fat, a few minutes for an early electric lightbulb, and less than one second for a modern light-emitting diode.
From Chaucer to chocolates: how Valentineâs Day gifts have changed over the centuries
Reading time: 5 minutes
We should first turn to Geoffrey Chaucer, the 14th-century poet, civil servant and keen European traveller. Chaucerâs poem from the 1380s, The Parliament of Fowls, is held to be the first reference to February 14 as a day about love.
This day was already a feast day of several mysterious early Roman martyred Saint Valentines, but Chaucer described it as a day for people to choose their lovers. He knew that was easier said than done.
