Alikchi posted:Quick review - the WWI thing is a good episode. I'm troubled a little by his reliance on Niall Ferguson, known rear end in a top hat, but he seems to be aware of the biases of his sources and uses them appropriately. Excellent stuff. Yeah I was weirded out by him leaning on Ferguson, but then bashing Keegan (not incorrectly!) a lot. Margaret MacMillan just released a book covering the same era. I wonder if he'll go back and read it after the series is done. I also wonder if he'll cover the Treaty of Versailles (I imagine he might). What I'm really hoping from the series is at least one or two episodes focusing on the "World" part and not getting bogged down on the Western Front, which is so very overexposed in histories about WW1.
