Telling the history of a war that’s reshaping the world. In Ep.1:
How Russia’s febrile history, Putin’s paranoid resentment and
Western complacency led to an historic crime against a peaceful
nation, the destruction of the rules-based international order, the
largest European land action since the Second World War… and a
conflict of unprecedented brutality. In weekly episodes Arthur
Snell talks to soldiers, civilians, analysts and journalists to
tell the story of the war and capture the enormity of Russia’s
crimes. This is the first draft of history. Want to hear Ep.2 right

has just started an epic global conflict between democracy and
authoritarianism, one whose outcome is still in doubt.”
– Arthur Snell “To see these places – deep mud, wet, such
cruel conditions – you’d think it’s not too far from Verdun or
Passchendaele.” – Paul Conroy “We don’t do what we do out of
hatred, we do it out of love for justice and for the people we care
about. This is a battle of life and darkness.” – ‘George’,
