À propos de cet audio

Forgotten Wars covers the conflicts overlooked in popular history. Journey to World War One in East Africa with an undefeated German General, trek across Siberia during the Russian Revolution with a lost Czech legion, watch as Britain bombards Chinese forts in service to the Opium trade, and find out if a war actually started because of a football result.


Expect bravery, incompetence, fascinating figures and incredible drama.

Yet behind the glamour there was a dark side of ex-Nazis, war crimes and rampant looting.
