Episode 92: The Battle of the Memoirs: How WW1 Was Written (1918–39)

from WW1: Not So Quiet On The Western Front! · host Dan Hill and Dr. Spencer Jones

In this episode we explore how early histories of the First World War were shaped. We’re marching into the Official Histories and Britain’s “Battle of the Memoirs,” where footnotes became artillery, reputations the high ground, and truth the most contested trench! We examine how controversies and mud slinging that shaped the way we understand the war on the western Front.
