War and Humanity
Is war an essential part of being human? Professor Margaret MacMillan explores the history of war.
Is war an essential part of being human? Are we destined to fight? That is the central question that this year鈥檚 麻豆社 Reith Lecturer, Professor Margaret Macmillan, addresses in five lectures, recorded in the UK, Lebanon and Canada. In her series, called The Mark of Cain, she will explore the tangled history of war and society and our complicated feelings towards it and towards those who fight, as well as answering questions from the audience.
