This is the second of two essays by Lieutenant General Jonathon Riley on the lessons the modern-day world can learn from Napoleon’s successes and ultimate failure. These follow on from his review of Ridley Scott’s historically inaccurate film published on Saturday. Yesterday’s Part 1 examined strategy, past and present. Today’s focuses on the limits of power them and now. ‘IT […]
Ridley Scott’s film ‘Napoleon’ prompted us to ask military historian Jonathon Riley, author of two key books on Napoleon and a former commander of British forces in Bosnia, Sierra Leone, Iraq and Afghanistan, for a review. His damning and fascinating account of ‘the most historically inaccurate film I have ever seen’ is here. But what does an understanding of Napoleon’s successes and ultimate […]
FOR me, the most authentic, interesting and inspiring politician of our times is without doubt Robert F Kennedy Jr. His ‘truth seeking’ has been regardless of the consequences for him and his career. His principle has taken him down a difficult and unorthodox path of confrontation with the establishment and, inevitably, to being censored, demonised and marginalised, the treatment […]

Britain’s ultra Orthodox Haredi community is facing an existential crisis and threat. TCW writer Karen Harradine believes it to be serious and urgent, and one that cannot be overstated. In this series she explains the damaging impact that proposed government schools legislation would have on their independent faith-based yeshiva schools, destroying the ancient tradition of Torah education in this country. Part 1 is here, […]

Rabbi Asher Gratt: ‘We live for our children. Our whole life is dedicated for our children.’ THERE are an estimated 271,000 […]
BRITAIN’S 80,000 ultra-orthodox Haredi Jewish community are facing an existential crisis and threat which cannot be overstated.
