04. Dona Nobis Pacem: Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnus Dei feat. War is Kind by Stephen Crane

This week we continue our plea for peace with the resumption of Haydn's Missa in Tempori Belli and the historical groundwork for Stephen Crane's collection of poems entitled War Is Kind. This podcast will cover the lost legacy of American non-interventionism at the outset of the Spanish-American War, and a notable history of conspiracies surrounding the sinking of ships that dates from the sinking of the USS Maine in 1898 up to the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964, which set off the Vietnam War. We finish the podcast with an analysis of the sinking of the Lusitania, a run-in between Mark Twain and Winston Churchill, and Crane's "A Man Adrift on a Slim Spar" to a piano rendition of Frank Bridge's 1915 Lament (for Catherine aged 9 "Lusitania" 1915) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/culture-anarchy/support
