* If Only It Were True

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by RONALD LEWIN
Histories, Tolstoy declared, represent ' perhaps only .001 per cent of the elements which actually constitute the real history of peoples.'
Mr Lewin. author of Rommel as Military Commander and Montgomery as Military Commander, examines this view with reference to military studies of the Second World War, and underlines Tolstoy's conclusion that ' history would be an excellent thing if only it were true.'
