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. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (1977), Fellow of the British Academy (2000) and Fellow of King's College (2003). In 2001 he was awarded the Samuel Elliot Morison Prize of the Society for Military History for his contribution to the history of warfare. His most recent books are ‘The Bombing War: Europe 1939-1945’ (2013), ‘The Third Reich: A Chronicle’ (2010), ‘The Morbid Age: Britain between the Wars’ (2009), and ‘1939:Countdown to War’ (2009).
Since its inauguration in August 2014, the Sir Michael Howard Centre for the History of War has organised a series of seminars and lectures. You can listen to them by visiting the War Studies Soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/warstudies
DISCLAIMER: Any information, statements or opinions contained in this podcast are those of the individual speakers. They do not represent the opinions of the Department of War Studies or King's College London.
For many, the Ukraine crisis re-awakened the memories of the horrors of World War II. As we approach the 70th anniversary of the victory over fascism, revisionists have tried to re-frame the narrative of those events. How can we draw lessons from history without becoming a victim of its politicisation? Oksana is joined by Richard Overy, a historian and author, to reflect on these issues.

No one doubts the bravery of the thousands of men who flew and died in Bomber Command. The death rate was an appalling 44%. And yet until the opening of a monument in Green Park this year they have received no official recognition, with many historians claiming that the offensive was immoral and unjustified. How can it be right, they argue, for the Allies to have deliberately targeted German cities causing the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians? Even on a strategic level the offensive failed to bring about the collapse of civilian morale that was its intention.
Others, however, maintain that the attacks made a decisive contribution to the Allied victory. Vast numbers of German soldiers and planes were diverted from the eastern and western fronts, while Allied bombing attacks virtually destroyed the German air force, clearing the way for the invasion of the continent.

Filmed at the Royal Institute of British Architects on 25th October 2012.
Event info:
No one doubts the bravery of the thousands of men who flew and died in Bomber Command. The death rate was an appalling 44%. And yet until the opening of a monument in Green Park this year they have received no official recognition, with many historians claiming that the offensive was immoral and unjustified. How can it be right, they argue, for the Allies to have deliberately targeted German cities causing the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians? Even on a strategic level the offensive failed to bring about the collapse of civilian morale that was its intention.
Others, however, maintain that the attacks made a decisive contribution to the Allied victory. Vast numbers of German soldiers and planes were diverted from the eastern and western fronts, while Allied bombing attacks virtually destroyed the German air force, clearing the way for the invasion of the continent.
