War historian and fellow of the London School of Economics James Rogers presents this History Hit show about one of the most turbulent periods of world history. Out of the cauldron of an industrialised Europe full of rivalry and Imperial ambition, from 1914 there was a 30 year long catastrophe of war, revolution, ideology, and the devastation of much of central Europe and east Asia. James will be meeting fellow historians, authors and experts in this bi-weekly show.
