Banish your post-Christmas blues by immersing yourself in history…
When we make sweeping statements about leaders in battle during the First World War, we often don’t comprehend just how varied that term was and what it might have meant. What were the unique challenges they faced depending on where they were from, and where they were sent?
In our most ambitious online course yet, across ten weeks, delve into the minds of military commanders in the First World War. Using examples from across the globe, we single out some of the men orchestrating battles and look at what they faced, their successes, their failures and the wider impact of their decisions.
Sundays at 16:00UK: January 7th – March 10th
