CONVERSATIONS AT THE CHAPEL – PROFESSOR MARGARET MACMILLAN

If ever we needed someone to help us understand the tremendous geo-political changes we face, then there is no better guide than historian Professor Margaret MacMillan. For her we can turn, to understand the historical context of such pressing topics as the war in Ukraine and China’s rise as a superpower. She is a great teacher to make clear why we are, where we are today.
