i have been to north and italy. i found a house and i walked in it. inside the top of the house was a room that was filled with sugar and spice. she had a sweet tooth then the other half of the room was filled with ammunition and machine gun rounds and explosives, and that was the kind of woman that she was. she tried, she talks to stephen hall and they developed a relationship behind allianz, but this whole time hall wanted to accomplish his mission and nothing seemed to be going right. at the same time, the of the major character in this book comes into play who is a nazi ss officer, part of the gestapo august shiffer who relentlessly hunts every allied agent in the area including hall as well as these-- he has rounded up scores of them. as this is all going on all's entire network is being in culturated and he is losing people left and right and he is just a hairsbreadth away from being captured. what happens is a massive snowstorm hits the area and hall decides the time has come to change the course of this mission. he is not going to sit back. he

map's colleague travel to italy a couple of times. it is not impossible he made his way to where the map was, but there others circulating as well and the duke of lorraine, renee, is said to have received maps from portugal. it is very hard to unpack those stories and know what is what but there were lots of dukes in europe who had agents on the lead. peninsula who were very interested in getting maps and they wanted as much new information as they could because this was a business opportunity so these maps were making their way to italy, and somehow or another a copy or more made it to sandy yea. even though it is out of the way it was a crossroads. strasbourg was the nexus of all sorts of information. >> could you say a little bit about how it took so long to get to the library of congress? >> sure. that is also a great part of the story. thank you. he is my agent. the map, supposedly there were 1,000 copies printed. they very quickly disappeared. luckily one survived because it was bound into a book and the book, the book turns out

and a poet and geographer has lines about seeing italy, and as a boot poised to crush the greek lanes and didn't like the eastern christians and imagines the boot is about to crush the peoples to the east and not just the greek christians and muslims, of course in the context of the crusades and a new way of mapping the world will lead you to new ideas about what your role in the world is and how you might take control of the world. that is a subtext that runs through a lot of this story. these were such obviously fun maps, they quickly became maps that weren't just made for sailors and you get counties like that, that were ornamental and rich, powerful people would want copies of and the big disadvantage of this kind of map is that it doesn't account for the current curvature of the earth and the mediterranean basin is only a mall part of the globe and it doesn't matter that it doesn't account for the serb tour of the ice but they are based on sight lines and sailors book here to there and put it on their chart and over there, they go to the next point and the farther do you that, th

he issued no protests for italy for con vicinitying 23 u.s. cia and military officials in absentia, our guys. and nine, rather, finally, he unleashed the prosecute bush policymakers for their counterterrorism policy. you want to speak to that? >> yes. i think this absolutely plays into this whole area of modern and traditional confusion that was best summed up by the supreme court during the bush administration that decided people in guantanamo did deserve due process. in other words it's not just about obama versus bush. there is an independent judicial tradition taking place which the supreme court tried to establish. >> monica? >> the supreme court also ruled that enemy combatants held by the united states could be held indefinitely without due process. >> they did. >> for the length of the war. >> but the key thing, martin is, look, we get these fellas. what do you want out of this fella when you got this? immediate information and intelligence. no water boarding. >> you got that.

and the deal took so long to take, the germans we invaded all of italy and the government. but this was again part of pressure from churchill who order to maintain really a right wing stroke fascist manner train as later he did when he interfered, intervenes in the greek civil war. so he had a very consistent pattern that he wanted to make sure that mediterranean, which continued to be a british link, bolstered by these right wing governments, of i don't think roosevelt, you know, had that idea in mind that such. but he was certainly willing to go along with the pressure from the brits. and maybe from the american military. but i don't know who argued for the deal. but certain for the people on the left in the u.s., the question was, what kind of anti-fascist war is this, when all the countries that we're going into are being allowed to maintain a fascist government? and of course, the same thing happened in spain with a vengeance. and this is, again, one of the saddest group of cartoons in the book are the anti-franco cartoons where pm constantly hopes that the spanish peo

and made a mistake when the allies entered italy to write broadcasting, we are bringing democracy.and he told me himself and he was severely criticized by his bosses for talking about a democracy in italy. when the government was trying to maintain a monarchy. so you had the battles that were being written about in "pm" at the time, being led out, and of course, an attempt to continue them after the war. but in the time of the mccarthy period, i don't know if you want to see me, it was just impossible. >> what was the end of policy response to the truman doctrine? >> hated it. they saw the truman doctrine. i think correctly. as the declaration of the cold war, and they were also horrified in particular by what it meant to greece, where anti-fascism partisans relied with the communists were now being chased out on behalf of elaborations with hitler and greece. and the truman doctrine in fact was probably the final break. there were two moments of great despair about truman. the first happen during the 1946 strike wave, and truman's military response to the cold strike. or the steel

who knows, italy, belgium, sweden. if we do that to me, this is the beginning of the end of our civilluation. so this thing is very much still there. the gill patrick report talks about the world is fast approaching a point of no return in the prospects of preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. if we don't get a real halt to it, there's going to be the massive proliferation. we can read through the rest. let me move on to the next. a guy named willstall, basically saying it will hold. he was wrong in 1965, 1995, but 2005, now he's right. well, we are stilling waiting on that. it's just been very slow. and we've had constantly things like this. about nuclear cascades, tipping points, point of no return, they have basically not taken place. when china got a bomb, everything thought india would have to get one. they did, but it was 35 years later. that's the slowest cascade in the history of the universe. but the kind of stuff is still there. it's all over washington. we're at books about the tipping point. it's still

napoleon ronny invade italy. this is the spread of republicanism. it goes sour. napoleon becomes an emperor and by 1815 they're back in france and the world is back to monarchy. there is a moment when we are left feeling we are the only republican in the world and lincoln is echoing that. the last best hope. that feelings run right up to the present. ronald reagan was talking about a city on the hill. that began of democracy goes back to this period. the federalists really want to create a european type state. a bureaucracy. a standing army. hamilton would love the present situation. the cia. meeting men and women under arms located in 50 countries at least around the world. hamilton would say that is what i wanted. jefferson would be appalled. when you say work breeds executive power you look at madison's presidency. see how he conducted it. by historian standards he was a failure. he allowed countries to be invaded and the white house burned but madison didn't see it that way. he said i didn't enhance executive power. better that the capital be burned, better t

that of france and of germany, lower than that of the euro area and lower than that of japan and of italy. it is because we had a low debt that we have been able to take the measures that are necessary to help companies to deal with the recession, to help the unemployed get work, to help young people who are leaving school and to help thousands of small businesses survive. we took the right action in the recession. the opposition advised the wrong action. >> richard burden. >> may i associate myself with the tribute that my right honorable friend has paid to those who have lost their lives in afghanistan? is he aware that today marks the sixth anniversary of the death of tom hurndall, the british photographer who was shot by an israeli sniper while trying to rescue children from danger in gaza? will he join me in paying tribute to the hurndall family for their tireless efforts in cutting through so many smokescreens put forward by the israeli military authorities, to get to the truth about tom's death and uphold the principles of accountability? will he agree that as an international comm

it's lower than italy and japan. it's lower than the average for the euro area. so every country faces the difficulty of taking its country out of recession while at the same time having to develop a deficit reduction plan. i tell him first of all we will not stop the fiscal stimulus before we are out of recession. and we will not -- we will not take his advice and leave the economy without the support that is necessary. and if we had taken his advice, many thousands more would be unemployed and many thousand businesses would be lost. but what we have published is a deficit-reduction plan. now, let me just -- yes. it includes raising the top rate of tax. i assume he now supports that. it raises national insurance so that we can fund our health and public services. i assume that he has got to consider that as well. it does not include raising inheritance tax and the 3,000 richest families in history. and cuts in the major departments but it includes the front line services of health and policing. for him to ask me questions about public spending this week, when he

solicit 20 or 25 countries that are going to include, you know, canada and belgium and poland and italy and so forth. and most of those countries never even talked about it seriously. it just doesn't make any sense to them. and i think that's why the proliferation has been so slow. nonetheless, mohammed al-barady the chief united nations weapons inspector now 40 years later says we're reaching a point today where i think kennedy's prediction after being wrong for 40 consecutive years is very much alive. either we're going to move to nuclear disarmament or we're going to have 20 or 30 countries with nuclear weapons, italy, belgium, norway, who knows, sweden. and if we do that, to me this is the beginning of the end of our civilization. so this thing is very much still there. the gillpatrick report in 1965 talked about the world is fast approaching a point of no return. in the prospects of preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. if they don't stop now and get a real halt to it there will be a massive proliferation. you can read the rest. a guy who's now in the obama administration in 20
