Making History

Available for over a year

Vanessa Collingridge and the team investigate the impact of racial segregation in the American armed forces in Britain during WWII, why we don't know as much as we think we do about our historic battlefields, how Indian soldiers on the Western Front have been misprepresented in history, and a chance buy at auction reveals a 300-year history of navigation at sea.
