Summary:

What's new in history? An off-duty teacher updates her history and hears the latest thinking on two vastly different periods of war in history, both relevant to our modern world and both with hotly debated interpretations.History teacher Lucia Harvey first talks to Cambridge professor Jonathan Riley-Smith about the Crusades. She hears his view on how there is a dangerously inaccurate public understanding of them and how this perception has been used to explain or even justify some of today's holy wars - and that it's time for a re-think. Then she turns to a war more than 700 years later and a debate that rocked the history world. At the RAF Museum in London, she talks to Professor Andrew Lambert of King's College London about the recent debate on the Battle of Britain and the under-represented role of the Royal Navy.
