AWW23: Have We Learned Nothing From the 20th Century? - Anatol Lieven, Ben Macintyre & Fintan O’Toole

Chair: Laura Tingle


Have we learned nothing from the tragedies, the waste of human
life and the devastation endured during the 20th century? Our
collective history contains many painful chapters – the two world
wars, Hiroshima and Vietnam, to name just a few. The atrocities
of war have persisted in the 21st century, as we see in the
destruction in Ukraine, the price of years of conflict in the
Middle East and the rise of autocrats. Anatol Lieven, Fintan
O’Toole and Ben Macintyre reflect on why the international
community has failed to learn the lessons of history.
