Journey to World War One in East Africa with an undefeated German General, trek across Siberia during the Russian Revolution with a lost Czech legion, watch as Britain bombards Chinese forts in service to the Opium trade, and find out if a war actually started because of a football result.


    Expect bravery, incompetence, fascinating figures and incredible drama.
