The War that made the Nazis. Edith Cavell: nurse, martyr, and spy? At dawn on 12 October 1915 the British nurse Edith Cavell was killed by a firing squad, after a German military court found her guilty of helping Allied soldiers escape from occupied Belgium.
It was strongly implied that she was also involved in espionage, passing information about German military movements and plans back to the UK. The British Government denied that she was a spy, but recently the ex-head of MI5, Dame Stella Rimington, has revealed new evidence that strongly suggests Cavell was involved in smuggling information as well as men. However much Cavell knew about the information being carried on the bodies of the men she saved – written on cloth and sewn into clothes, or hidden in shoes – her death made her a popular martyr, as her execution provoked a strong public reaction of horror. Author Arthur Conan Doyle said: So how did a nurse become involved in espionage? For queen and country?

Nick Clegg, meanwhile, was critical of the education secretary’s intervention. In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Dr Murrison said: “We need to make sure that this is done appropriately, that the tone is right and it does not become politically partisan. “And I am as happy as I can be that this wont be a Left-Right issue – I don’t think it is appropriate that it should be. I don’t think political partisanship has any part in this whatsoever.” On Blackadder, which was singled out by Mr Gove for presenting a skewed view of the conflict, and which is reportedly shown in some schools to teach about the war, Dr Murrison said: “It is comedy – not history.

We are in danger of repeating the mistakes that started WWI, says a leading historian - World Politics - World. The newly mechanised armies of the early 20th century produced unprecedented slaughter on the battlefields of the "war to end all wars" after a spark lit in the Balkans with the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
Professor Margaret MacMillan, of the University of Cambridge, argues that the Middle East could be viewed as the modern-day equivalent of this turbulent region. A nuclear arms race that would be likely to start if Iran developed a bomb "would make for a very dangerous world indeed, which could lead to a recreation of the kind of tinderbox that exploded in the Balkans 100 years ago – only this time with mushroom clouds," she writes in an essay for the Brookings Institution, a leading US think-tank. "While history does not repeat itself precisely, the Middle East today bears a worrying resemblance to the Balkans then," she says. Professor MacMillan highlights a string of other parallels between today and a century ago. Michael Gove blasts 'Blackadder myths' about the First World War spread by television sit-coms and left-wing academics.
Education Secretary says war is represented as a 'misbegotten shambles'But he claims that it was in fact a 'just war' to combat German aggression By Tim Shipman Published: 22:31 GMT, 2 January 2014 | Updated: 08:20 GMT, 3 January 2014 'Just war': Michael Gove says left-wing myths about the First World War peddled by Blackadder belittle Britain and clear Germany of blame Left-wing myths about the First World War peddled by Blackadder belittle Britain and clear Germany of blame, Michael Gove says today. The Education Secretary criticises historians and TV programmes that denigrate patriotism and courage by depicting the war as a ‘misbegotten shambles’. Labour condemns Michael Gove's 'crass' comments on first world war.
Labour has accused the government of using the centenary of the start of the first world war to "sow political division" after the education secretary, Michael Gove, tore into "leftwing academics" for peddling unpatriotic "myths" about the role of British soldiers and generals in the conflict. Writing in the Observer, Tristram Hunt, Labour's shadow education spokesman and a historian, accuses Gove of a "shocking" attempt to score political points ahead of the events to mark the war, which began in August 1914 and led to the deaths of 16 million.
Responding to an article in which the education secretary attacked what he sees as an unpatriotic, leftwing version of history that portrays 1914-18 as "a series of catastrophic mistakes perpetrated by an out-of-touch elite", Hunt says such "ugly" and politically motivated interventions diminish what should be a time of national reflection. In his article, Gove said dramas such as Oh! "You take your fans where you get them, I guess," she said. Rachel Cooke meets Middle East reporter Robert Fisk. Over the years, the balcony of Robert Fisk's flat in Beirut, which looks out over the city's renowned Corniche, has taken on a legendary quality.
In his writing, he mentions it often, as a place of refuge: it is where he wants to be as he tries to forget the quotidian horror of his working day. Having survived countless shells in the more than 30 years he has lived in the building, it has come to stand for Fisk's longevity as a reporter, his endurance and also, perhaps, his luck.
