Lara Marlowe: We need leaders with the courage of a Kennedy or a de Gaulle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The times we live in require extraordinary courage of every citizen, but especially of political leaders. It sometimes feels like heroism is a thing of the past. Researching a speech for the Kennedy Summer School in New Ross, Co Wexford, two weeks ago, I read John F Kennedyâs Pulitzer Prize-winning 1956 book, Profiles in Courage. In her introduction to the book, Kennedyâs daughter Caroline told how the small, motorised Patrol Torpedo boat commanded by Lt Kennedy in the Pacific during the sec
Lara Marlowe: Putinâs pact with the Russian people is fraying and his paranoia is deepening (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Vladimir Putin long maintained a tacit understanding with the Russian people. They could enjoy stability and relative prosperity in exchange for loyalty and an absence of personal freedoms. In 2022 Putin added a promise to restore national pride through the âspecial military operationâ in Ukraine. In this fifth summer of the full-scale war, fighting has shifted from the eastern front to an air war that makes civilians on both sides vulnerable to sudden, violent death. Putinâs pact with his
Lara Marlowe: Pussy Riotâs Maria Alyokhina has a warning for Europe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I met Maria âMashaâ Alyokhina at the Borris festival earlier this summer, the Russian dissident and founding member of the feminist punk rock group Pussy Riot wore a Ukrainian T-shirt showing the Kremlin in flames. If she could, Alyokhina (38) really would burn down the Kremlin. âIf I had a missile and I could fire it at Putin, I would do that,â she says, laughing. In February 2012, in the run-up to Vladimir Putinâs third presidential election (of five so far), Pussy Riot filmed a
Lara Marlowe: Robots have brought a âhorrifying intimacyâ to warfare (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A quarter of the way through the 21st century, the horror and guilt inspired by two world wars appear to have vanished. Despite ample evidence to the contrary, the leaders of Russia, Israel and the United States apparently believe war is an effective method of statecraft. The Swedish Uppsala Conflict Data Program confirmed last month that states were involved in 65 conflicts in 2025, the highest number since statistics were first gathered in 1946. Conflict claimed nearly 250,000 lives in 2025 al
Lara Marlowe: Iâve had near misses as a journalist. But a holiday swim was the closest I came to dying (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Iâve had close calls in 45 years of journalism, but a brief holiday on Belle Isle, off the coast of Brittany, nearly killed me. The holiday mood and idyllic surroundings led me to forget how fierce the sea is, that no matter oneâs age or experience as a swimmer, the risk of drowning is always present. July 4th was a perfect summer morning. I wanted to forget Donald Trump and remember good things about the United States on its 250th birthday. My host, Laure Debreuil â like me a semi-retired
