James Hanson is joined once again by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Professor Alexander Watson to discuss one of the largest and bloodiest battles of the First World War: the Somme. The first day is infamous for being the deadliest day in British Army history, but after months the allies did achieve a semi-strategic victory of sorts. The costs were heavy however, and can the battle really be considered a turning point? Perhaps not, but its impact stretches far beyond the battlefield. This is History Undone.
