Manage episode 444774520 series 2889048
While books are often thought of as victims of war, looted or burned in libraries, in this 10-Minute Talk Professor Andrew Pettegree suggests an alternative narrative: books are essential in the waging of war. Sharing insights from his recent publication, ‘The Book at War’, Pettegree explores the active role of books in wartime from the Napoleonic era to the Second World War.
Speaker: Professor Andrew Pettegree FBA, Professor of Modern History, University of St Andrews
