    Extremely refreshing to hear from someone with intelligence and knowledge that can offer something that is divorced from the usual media & political hysterics. I have read several of Mr Beevor's books, and although I have not always agreed with some of his observations, he is streets ahead of the usual commentators. I am also certain he saw this conflict coming some time ago. This is an astute interview with a wisdom rich historian who has some accurate & valid information to share here.
  • Fantastic interview. Huge props to the interviewer and to Beevor, very interesting and nuanced discussion.
  • Excellent...Antony Beevor must be the best Military Historian we have in England. Such an inspiration to listen to him. Thanku.

    I could listen to Sir Anthony all day. I've got most of his books and read Stalingrad twice. Excellent... More please

  • @WonderMagician

    I could listen to Antony Beevor for hours. Have all his books, he is a treasure. So much knowledge, great memory, ability to link the past with present time - not every historian is willing to do so.
  • @kitiowa
    Plain intelligent conversation just never loses it's relevance. I truly appreciate a competent interviewer as well as the subject.
  • @kallekas8551
    I have read all of Beevor’s books… extraordinarily talented writer and historian. I have enormous respect for any views he has.
  • @cindymaceda2999
    I could listen to these two superior intellects all day ! Gracias, The Telegraph.

    Excellent interview! It terrifies me how little we teach of history and how little the general populace knows and understands about history!
  • @heathclark318
    Fantastic interview and conversation. Truly appreciate it and would like to see more from knowledgeable individuals like Mr Beevor
  • I had to share this on FaceBook...I only expect a few people to listen to a historian where the interview is more than 5 minutes but I think that it is well worth listening to the whole interview. It might be an interesting challenge to see if any of my 'friends' actually take the trouble to listen to the whole interview and comment on it. I loved it and learnt quite a bit.

  • @chrismerkel9604
    Sir Antony Beevor what a great perspective/knowledge of history!
  • @evanmurphy2473
    How can something be so interesting and so depressing at the same time.
  • What a wonderful debate. So rare to see people debate the issue and not the man. Well done.
  • @helennuttall6051
    What a brilliant interview. History is very important and not least in helping to shape the future. I do hope our leaders watch this.
