AWW23: Have We Learned Nothing From the 20th Century? - Anatol Lieven, Ben Macintyre & Fintan O’Toole
24 Mar 2023
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. Event details: Sun 05 Mar, 5pm on the West Stage
