Paul Ashford Harris's Love Oil and the Fortune's of War

The British Navy, the largest in the world, is for the first time in a century under serious threat. World War 1 is imminent. Three very different characters converge to change the course of history.The eminent female archaeologist Gertrude Bell is exploring the ancient treasures of Persia. The charismatic Englishman Jackie Fisher, Admiral of the Fleet, is battling to convince the British Navy to modernise. William D'Arcy, a determined Queensland businessman is in the process of founding the Middle East's oil industry. Together these extraordinary personalities shine a light on one of the most dramatic periods of the twentieth century. Love too, weaves a path through these important historical events: from Persia to London to Far North Queensland and Gallipoli, this fascinating story is populated by a host of famous (and infamous) characters, from Winston Churchill and T. E. Lawrence ('Lawrence of Arabia'), to the new King Edward VII and Wilhelm II, the Emperor of Germany.In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Paul Ashford Harris about the events that marked enormous change for the British Empire, the three great figures in the early 20th century history that each played important roles in that new century, and how different the geo-political world might have looked without them.

Paul Ashford Harris on the cycles of history in 'Love, Oil and the Fortunes of War'

Ben Hobson

The climax of The Death of John Lacey happens in a church. Through the book, Ben Hobson has us question the ethics, justice and prejudices in early Victorian gold rush times with the settlers and aboriginal communities.         Paul Ashford Harris takes us on a journey through the lives of Gertrude Bell, William D’Arcy and Sea Lord Jacky Fisher in ‘Love, Oil and the Fortunes of War’. Each altered the world through their advice, actions and conduct prior to World War One the consequences of which still resonate today.
