This podcast will discuss some examples of the most fearsome booby traps ever made in history of warfare. Designed to trap, maim, and kill those who stumbled into them, they represent the worst product of the human imagination turned to engineering. All of them were used in one of the bloodiest wars in modern history: The Vietnam War.

The Complete History of The Afghanistan War | Part 2
Wars of The World
10/17/22 • 73 min
At 8:46am on September 11th, 2001 - the world changed forever...
A hijacked airliner was flown deliberately into the north tower of the World Trade Center followed seventeen minutes later by another plane which hit the south tower. A third airliner was flown into the Pentagon from where the US directed its global military operations while a fourth was brought down by courageous passengers who wrestled for control of the aircraft with the hijackers.
For decades, the US had believed that it existed behind an armoured shield comprised of its enormous military might. That belief was now shattered. With so many people killed not just from the United States but from across the globe, it was truly an attack on the free world and the cry went out for justice. For revenge.
Very quickly, it was concluded that the attack was authorized by Osama Bin Laden, the head of the al-Qaeda terrorist network who had long dreamed of a spectacular attack on the US mainland. Known to be hiding out in Afghanistan under the umbrella of the ideologically driven Taliban regime, the US and its Allies geared up for war. On September 10th, only a small proportion of Americans knew where Afghanistan was on a map. On September 12th, nearly the entire population were focused on this rural, landlocked country as the hunt for the most wanted man on Earth began.
In this, the second episode of a two-part special on the violent history of Afghanistan, we are going to examine the American-led invasion of Afghanistan; America’s longest war.
The Hijacking of Aerolíneas Argentinas Flight 648 | Operation Condor
Wars of The World
05/30/22 • 18 min
The famous Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands was preceded and arguably inspired by a dramatic and largely forgotten event that took place almost 20 years earlier, when the sleepy Falkland Islanders awoke to the news that armed Argentinians had landed on their islands claiming them for Buenos Aires. This is the story of the 1966 Condor Operation.

The Cold War: Seven Minutes to Midnight
Wars of The World
08/22/22 • 55 min
The end of the Second World War was met with riotous jubilation at the victory over the Axis powers and with the establishment of the United Nations there was the dream of a new world order of freedom, prosperity and above all peace. Even the advent of the Atom Bomb, the decisive weapon that ended the war was celebrated for it was believed it was so powerful it would render warfare obsolete.
And yet even before the guns fell silent, concerned whispers were being shared in the halls of power regarding the capitalist Allies of the west and the communists in the east who hitherto had been united against Fascism. With there no longer being a common enemy to unite them, age-old rivalries and fears began to re-emerge.
The western Allies of America, Britain, Canada and France had not forgotten that the Soviet leader Stalin had worked with the Nazis to carve up eastern Europe before Germany invaded Poland in 1939. They were also concerned about Stalin’s refusal to surrender his grip on territories in eastern Europe which the Red Army had liberated and his land grab in Asia during his last-minute intervention in the Pacific theatre against Japan.
Stalin himself, as paranoid as ever, was convinced that the western allies deliberately delayed the D-Day landings in order to bleed the Soviet Union of its people in an effort to weaken the vast country. The fact that American soldiers had fought in the Russian Civil War against the Communists in 1919 only helped fuel his belief that after Napoleon and Hitler, the next leader to take a massive army into the Soviet Union would be American.
With both America and the Soviet Union having suffered devastating surprise attacks in the war, they were both determined that it would never happen again. They readied their armies to fight what would prove to be one of the most abstract conflicts in history – the Cold War.
07/11/22 • 23 min
The battle for the skies over war torn Europe was one of, if not the most crucial theatre of the war against Nazi Germany. The strategic bombing campaign carried out by the Allies grew in strength with every passing year until literally thousands of four-engined heavy bombers like the American B-17 Flying Fortress and the B-24 Liberator blotted out the sun at day while at night an British and Canadian planes turned the black of night into an orange glow of flame as their bombs ignited below. However, an often-overlooked part of this story is the small but intriguing contribution of the Soviet Union in the story of the overall bombing campaign. Not possessing a vast armada of four engined heavy bombers with which to hit cities like Berlin, the Soviet story is instead one of symbolic retribution, for as Germany’s armies seemed unstoppable in the opening months of Operation Barbarossa, Soviet aircraft battled the odds to prove to their people that the Fascists were not invincible. This is the story of Stalin’s dramatic 1941 bombing campaign against the Nazi capital as his own capital was increasingly under threat from being overrun by German troops. Welcome to Wars of the World.
