It was not until 30 years later that individual women and children attracted much notice in international law, and that was not until the character of war began to change, until war lost its virtue and fell into the hands of villains and warlords and was no longer the solemn duty of soldiers who fought for glory and returned home to regular jobs. YIKES x100000

Karan really hates Ajay Devgan

"Looking back, I feel I went wrong with 15 minutes of [My Name is Khan]. There was a hurricane angle that didn't work at all." Agreed!!

No offense, Lucy, but a guy who runs a lunatic asylum in the 19th century sounds exactly like the type of person you should AVOID marrying!

If Jonathan Harker had an instagram, he'd be the kind of guy who'd post pics of every meal he had

welp, trying to get my spooky October on, but this is written like a movie script, ugh

Stalin had collapsed from a stroke and lay unconscious for five days before he died [...]. He might have been saved if medical assistance had been called in early enough. But in the panic of the Doctor's Plot none of Stalin's inner circle dared take the initiative. It is a fitting irony that Stalin's death was caused by his own politics.

aw man, what a cute romance. adorable couple

I have a cold, and nothing says "comfort read" like a Georgette Heyer book

About the Red Terror: In Kiev [the Cheka] fixed a cage with rats to the victim's torso and heated it so that the rodents ate their way through the victim's body to escape. Oh, so this is where Orwell got that from.
