The New Zealand Herald presents Desert Pirates. This is the story of Kiwi soldiers who made history in North Africa during World War II as part of the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG), the forerunners to the NZSAS. Operating behind enemy lines, they navigated vast deserts by sun and stars, carrying out daring raids and reconnaissance missions under extreme conditions. But beyond the legend lies the reality.

Story13
Starting in early 1915, the Ottoman Turks began deporting and killing hundreds of thousands of Armenians in the first major genocide of the 20th century. By the end of the First World War, the number of Armenians in what would become Turkey had been reduced by 90 percent - more than 1,000,000 people. A century later, the Armenian genocide remains controversial but relatively unknown, overshadowed by later slaughters and the chasm separating Turkish and Armenian versions of events.

Though few of us will ever have to face a charging elephant, or survive solely on penguin stew, when it comes to project management, crisis aversion, or any number of everyday problems, there is much we can learn from the larger-than-life tales of the world's most famous adventurers.

In the stillness of a lonely desert night, haunted by the face of a woman from his past, Cameron reflects on memories that weigh heavily on his heart.

What does it mean for a patch of desert barely larger than Connecticut to become a global financial powerhouse, a World Cup host, and a regional broker? In this series, Lucas and Luna trace Qatar's improbable journey from a sparsely populated pearl-diving outpost to a gas-fueled superpower. They begin with the Bedouin tribes of the pre-oil era and the rise of the Al Thani dynasty in the 19th century, then navigate the complexities of Ottoman suzerainty and British protectorate rule.
