Courses
Propaganda shaped history throughout the world in the twentieth century. We will explore its roots in mass politics, literacy and media, its consequences for democratic and totalitarian politics and culture, and its challenge to the very idea of truth.
The Thirties in Britain have been called the Devil's Decade. But we will explore how by remaking itself, Britain left its Victorian past behind, faced up to the challenges of a new world war, and laid the foundations for profound post-war change.
Explore the massive changes in Britain in the 20th century through Winston Churchill's career as a political radical, chronicler, anti-totalitarianism and war leader from Victorian times to the Cold War.
