Last night I heard a great interview on Australia’s Radio National: Margaret Throsby was interviewing Professor Margaret MacMillan a world renowned historian and author. She is Professor of International History at St. Antony's College at the University of Oxford where she is also Warden of St. Antony's College. Her books include "Peacmakers - The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and its Attempt to End War", "The Uses and Abuses of History" and "The War That Ended Peace - The Road to 1914". I don’t know if it is possible to download the interview in NZ, but for people who are interested, it might be worth trying: http://www.abc.net.au/classic/content/2014/06/27/4034049.htm Given that so many New Zealanders fought in WW1 - quite a few of my relatives included, it is well worth listening to.
