Weighing up Turnbull’s legacy
Former Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull recently published his memoir A Bigger Picture. In it he settles old scores with colleagues over his 2018 ousting, which he describes as an “act of madness.”

And, the death of a führer
April 2020 marked seventy-five years since Hitler’s suicide. Cambridge historian Brendan Simms challenges past scholarship on the führer, and argues that Hitler saw Anglo-American global capitalism, not Bolshevism – as Germany’s real enemy. He says this philosophical link reveals worrying connections between Hitler and the rise of populism today.
