Mr. Chairman, in a few moments, Max and Margaret will paint you an elegant, entertaining and largely fictional portrait of an alternative Europe if we had stayed out and let the Germans win. Up soon on Intelligence Squared Plus, we've got the King of UK comedy satire, Armando Yinuchi and none other than the former director of the FBI, James Comey. Comedian-turned-writer David Baddiel will also be talking with fellow funnyman Richard Iowade and Simon Shama is going to tell us what the pandemics of the past can tell us about today.

For this week's Sunday Debate, we're dipping back into the archive to 2014, when we gathered a panel of expert historians to debate whether Britain was right to fight in the First World War, a tragedy that laid the foundations for decades of destructive upheaval and violence across Europe. To debate the issue, we invited leading historians Margaret MacMillan, Max Hastings, John Charmley and Dominic Sandbrook to an event hosted by journalist, columnist and national security expert, Edward Lucas.
