AWW25: History Lessons - Orlando Figes, Bettany Hughes, Matthew Longo and Dava Sobel

With Annabelle Quince.


Judging by the death and destruction we are witnessing in the
21st century, it seems humanity has learnt nothing from the past
century, be it the horrors of the world wars or the seemingly
endless conflagrations in the Middle East. Orlando Figes, Bettany
Hughes, Matthew Longo and Dava Sobel talk to Annabelle Quince
about whether they despair as they document the past, or see
their task as exhorting our generation to make the world a more
humane place.
