The Ottoman Empire: Sick Man of Europe

Our third and final episode looks at the Ottoman Empire’s slow decline in the face of Russian expansion, and explores the complex alliances it would forge with European powers in an effort to survive. Part 3 of 3.

KGB - The Sword and the Shield: Berija & Co.

By August 1949, at least five years earlier than expected, the USSR became the world’s second superpower, thanks to its spies who had stolen America’s atomic secrets. But by March 1953, Stalin is dead and the KGB chief, Beria, is executed later the same year. Nikita Kruschev tries to reduce the power of the security service, splitting it into several sections... but it doesn’t last, and soon the KGB is back. Abroad, it has pulled off its greatest-ever recruitment coup – a mole at the very top of the CIA. Part 2 of 3.

Ukraine 1933, Seeds of Hunger

Gareth Jones, a young Welsh journalist, smuggled into Ukraine in March 1933. The region then experienced a completely unprecedented famine, both in terms of its scale and its causes. This famine, kept secret and decided by Stalin, is political. On his return, the journalist alerts the world but lies and Soviet manipulation triumph. This is the story of the power of inquiry and speech against the state apparatus. This is the story of a mass lie and crime.

The Seabees on Iwo Jima

The Seabee's motto was 'We Build; We Fight.' Not only did these men have to build bases, but many times they had to put down their shovels or get off their bulldozers and pick up a rifle or machine gun to fend off enemy attacks. The Seabee's most violent fight was on Iwo Jima, where they went ashore in the first wave with the Marines. It's on Iwo Jima where their motto 'We Build; We Fight' was most famously put to the test in World War II.
