xwormwood Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Might be interesting for some history buffs: News at NY Times Soundclips can be found here (scroll down, btw: used google translate for this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Palchinsky Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thanks, X, great site. And for anyone interested in reading actual newspaper articles from the WWI early period on your iPhone, use iBooks and download the complete NY Times Current History series on the Great War. Awesome info including front line reports from ALL fronts (many are firsthand), and great editorials by pro-CP and pro-Allied sympathizers trying to influence neutral US opinion...it gets really nasty after May 1915 sinking of the HMS Lusitania. It's interesting to read how people were thinking about the war in late 1914-early 1915 in geo-political terms, and how much they were thinking peace would last as soon as one side won and proven that it was the strongest. Lot of interesting insights into the reasons for the start of the war and alternate outcomes that people thought might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
