Professor Richard Overy - Writing the History of the Second World War: Anything More to Say?

On 9 March 2015 the Sir Michael Howard Centre hosted Professor Richard Overy for a lecture on the Second World War and the age of imperialism. Professor Overy discussed the major challenges faced by today's historians of the Second World War and how the age of imperialism best accounts for the war’s origins, course and consequences. Richard Overy is Professor of History at the University of Exeter. From 1980 to 2004 he taught at King's College, London, where he was made professor of Modern History in 1994.
