I saw the soldiers who killed El Salvador's priests

BBC World Service - The History Hour, I saw the soldiers who killed El Salvador's priests

An atrocity in El Salvador, the first Taser, and building the Delhi metro

An atrocity in 1980s El Salvador, when the first Taser hit the streets, building the Delhi metro, exploring Arabia's Empty Quarter and the battle to reclaim a Klimt masterpiece

The woman who risked her life to reveal that the army, not left-wing rebels, were responsible for the murder of six Jesuit priests in 1980s El Salvador; the moment when the Taser first hit the streets; the long legal fight to reclaim Klimt's masterpiece Woman in Gold; the man who got the Delhi metro built; and travels in Arabia with Wilfred Thesiger.
