About this listen
A five part series exploring how the story of Western ideology may have unfolded differently in the 20th Century, based on the undelivered speeches of world leaders. Features academics, writers and historians talking to presenter Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.
Tracking through the 20th century, from the Western heroic rhetoric borne of Allied success in the D-Day Landings, all the way to Britain's present day relationship with Europe, we'll explore the fragile balance of power, nuclear armament, warfare, heroic narratives and the spread of democratic protest throughout the world.

Great listen.
This audiobook was a great listen however, it is one of the most eeire books that I have listened to. To hear that leaders prepaired speeches for some of the most influential events in human history is mind blowing. To think the most crucial moments in human history could of gone the other way and almost did is frightening.

One side story , Western propaganda
narrator was great but it is just a western propaganda. As a groundson of two WW2 warriors , as a citizen of a country who gave most sacrifice i find it a hypocrisy.
