WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk

When did America enter WW1? In what ways were The Treaty of Versailles and Wilson's 14 Points For Peace flawed? Why is this period of history important today?

Join Al Murray and James Holland for part 1 their most ambitious series yet; a definitive survey of the 20th Century and how the First World War and economic instability of the 20s and 30s caused World War Two, and how the political vision of US Presidents like Roosevelt and Truman strengthened Western Democracies for the Cold War with the USSR.
