If we want to understand the immense geo-political changes that confront us today, and in the future, there is no better guide than historian and broadcaster Margaret MacMillan. To her we can turn to understand the historical context of such pressing subjects as the war in Ukraine and the rise of China as a superpower. She is a brilliant teacher and explainer.
Her books include the award-winning Paris 1919, The Uses and Abuses of History and The War that Ended Peace. Her most recent book is War.
If ever we needed someone to help us understand the world today, there is no better guide than historian Professor Margaret MacMillan. To her we can turn to understand the historical context of such vital subjects as the war in Ukraine and China’s rise as a superpower.
Professor Macmillan is a great teacher, able to make clear why we are where we are today. Come and hear her talk.
