Roma, el imperio modelo
Roma ha sido la potencia más poderosa que ha conocido el Mundo. El 'imperio de los imperios', extendido desde las Islas Británicas hasta los confines de Asia Menor; desde los bosques de Germania al norte hasta las arenas del desierto del Sáhara al sur. Un imperio que perduró durante más de seiscientos años.

The Beinart Notebook
Jonathan Freedland Has Issues with my Book
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit peterbeinart.substack.comOur guest is Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland. I’ve known and liked Jonathan for years, and we agree on many things. But he also has criticisms of my book. He thinks that in my rejection of the very idea of a Jewish state, I’ve gone too far. We talk about that, and about the way being a British—as opposed to an American—Jew shapes his perspective. I’m grateful to him for joining us.

The Israel/Hamas War: Netanyahu’s crisis, Iran’s opportunity
The Hamas atrocities of 7th October and Israel’s overwhelming retaliation have plunged the region into its worst chaos in 50 years. How deeply involved was Iran in the Hamas attacks? Did Netanyahu’s political desperation and strategic bungling really open the door to the most anguished day in Israel’s history? And is there a way to end the carnage before it spreads? Gavin Esler looks for answers with author and journalist Kim Ghattas who is based in Beirut – a Hamas stronghold – and Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland, author of The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz...

Shining a new light on Rudolf Vrba, the Canadian who escaped from Auschwitz
When he was 19 years old, a Slovakian Jewish teenaged slave labourer named Walter Rosenberg (later he changed his name to Rudolf Vrba) did what only five Jews ever managed to do: successfully escape from Auschwitz. But his escape in April 1944 and subsequent testimony about the mass murder of Europes Jews at the Nazi death camp had an enormous impact: it reached the Allies, the Vatican and major press outlets. Vrba is credited with saving the lives of 200,000 Hungarian Jews, who would have otherwise been deported to their deaths that summer. But the killing of more...

The book has also come under scrutiny in the latter half of 2022 due to its influence on the behaviour of billionaire philanthropists. W...

Jonathan Freedland on The Escape Artist
Jonathan Freedland is an award-winning Guardian columnist, presenter of BBC Radio Four’s The Long View, and a multi-million selling thriller author under the name Sam Bourne.

Jonathan Freedland is a Guardian journalist who has written 7 thrillers under the name Sam Bourne. To Kill the Truth springs from one question. What if, in this era of post-truth, someone tried to destroy all evidence of the past – starting with the records and documents by which we know what is true and what is false? Thanks to galloping technology – which now makes fake ‘archive footage’ possible, along with bogus sound recordings of historical figures saying things they never said – and governments bent on spreading fake news, the truth is under assault like never before.
