The Curse of Knowledge Meets The Valley of Death
Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford
The Curse of Knowledge
Lord Lucan had risen quickly through the ranks of the British army. But he soon got a reputation as a harsh, vindictive leader. He hired crowbar brigades to demolish his tenants' houses during potato famine. Now he was back in the army and struggling to work out exactly where General Raglan wanted him to position his troops. Cautionary Tales will return in a moment with our third character Lewis Nolan.
