The history of warfare, from napoleonic battles and cod war confrontations to the normandy landings and nine 11. In this episode we have lucy fisher, the award winning journalist and author who is deputy political editor at the daily telegraph. Lucy has a new book out called women in the war. It tells the first hand stories of ten of the last surviving female members of britain's greatest generation. We go through those who are flying spit fires across the country, working in munitions factories or deep in the cabinet war rooms with winston churchill.
