S1E15:The Two Winstons

A History of Britain

18 Jun 20021 hTV-PG

Simon Schama tackles 20th century British history through the lives of two men, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and writer George Orwell. Both men lived through and wrote about the key moments of British 20th century life including the Depression, Empire, two world wars and the Cold War. What unites them, argues Schama, is one shared theme. Forget history at your peril.
