The British fought the Second World War to defeat Hitler. This film asks why, then, did they spend so much of the conflict battling through North Africa and Italy? Historian David Reynolds reassesses Winston Churchill's conviction that the Mediterranean was the 'soft underbelly' of Hitler's Europe. Travelling to Egypt and Italian battlefields like Cassino, scene of some of the worst carnage in western Europe, he shows how, in reality, the 'soft underbelly' became a dark and dangerous obsession for Churchill. Reynolds reveals a prime minister very different from the jaw-jutting bulldog of Britain's 'finest hour' in 1940 - a leader who was politically vulnerable at home, desperate to shore up a crumbling British empire abroad, losing faith in his army and even ready to deceive his American allies if it might delay fighting head to head against the Germans in northern France. The film marks the seventieth anniversary of the Battle of El Alamein in 1942.
Director
This is an interesting documentary about Stalin, his rise to power, and the invasion of the USSR by Germany in WWII. It's split into two parts, the first a general overview of the early history. The second part is the details of WWII and after. David Reynolds does an excellent job of explaining what happened with snippets from diaries, letters and other contemporaneous accounts. Well-assembled historical work.

Miniserie de TV. 2 episodios. Dividido en dos capítulos de 45 minutos cada uno, está basado en el trabajo del biólogo y divulgador británico Richard Dawkins, "The God Delusion". Se trata de un contundente alegato contra todas las religiones, escrito desde la razón y la ciencia por este biólogo evolucionista que se declara ateo sin mayor problema. Valiente, honrado y riguroso, intelectualmente fascinante y políticamente muy incorrecto, Dawkins carga contra el adoctrinamiento religioso de los niños –en Pakistán o en América– y da un buen repaso a lo que él llama "el virus de la fe": desde la Biblia al Corán, pasando por cualquiera de los Libros, sagrados o revelados.
