Infantry Brigadier by General Howard Kippenburger free e-book
In this episode we highlight a very special part of New Zealand military history, the great contribution a small nation made to the war against totalitarianism in WWII through struggle and sacrifice in North Africa, Greece and Italy, all recorded by one of our great military commanders. 'Tis a pleasure to feature 1949's "Infantry Brigadier" by Major General Sir Howard Kippenberger.
"Kip" is a legend in NZ, a truly fascinating, self-educated character who I've had the pleasure of spending quite some time studying. I promised you a free e-book! Follow this link to a page where you can download my study on Kip's professional reading and how it influenced his 'strategic thinking' - https://readingforwisdom.com/the-grea...
Apart from that bonus, 'Infantry Brigadier' is a heritage text and is available freely through the New Zealand Electronic Text Collection through http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/schola... . Now that is a free lunch, but please try an track down a hard copy of the original text. What a cracker!
One of the classic pictures of Kip we feature in the video is the one that includes him with Captain Charles Upham, MC and Bar. We'll feature Upham and his biography "Mark of the Lion' in a future show but, in the meantime, check out this artifact of its time • This Is Your Life: Charles Upham VC &... . Zero chance of such heroes getting a TV special in the modern broadcasting environment.
ReadingforWisdom is a YouTube channel aimed at exploring some of the ideas around the idea of books as a timeless technology, essential for our intellectual evolution as a species. Considering ‘books’ can and will take us in all sorts of intellectual journeys but the channel does have a natural bias towards discussions about books, their ideas and authors who focus on history, warfare, politics, culture, science and the human condition (ok, most things that matter then).
The videos will explore the history of religion but, unlike much content on the web referring to ‘wisdom’, it is a thoroughly secular enterprise, the editor a lifelong religious sceptic. The channel is a companion to https://readingforwisdom.com, a site curated by Dr Emmet McElhatton to modestly add to what Robert Maynard Hutchings, Chicago academic, Editor-in-Chief of the Great Books of the Western World series and, with colleague Mortimer Adler, founder of the Great Books movement, described as the ‘great conversation’ of history; the dialogue created through the exchange of ideas through the medium of published writings.
While the material on https://readingforwisdom.com is grounded in rigorous study, the product of lifelong reading, we hope to provide, and recommend, material that is accessible, stimulating and free from unnecessary academic stylings.
