A new series of seven programmes presented by Geoffrey Stern 1:Why War?
Although many still talk as if the Second World War were 'the last war' and the years since a 'post-war' era, there have been nearly 200 armed conflicts since 1945.
GEOFFREY STERN examines the persistence of warfare with the help of the great figures of the 1930s and beyond - their voices and views preserved in the BBC's archives.
