26 May 2026, 12:00 pm - 45 minutes 16 secondsIntroducing "Hostile History"
Since the dawn of time, humanity has been at war. Conflict in one form or another has been part of our existence since we first walked the earth.
In this first episode of a four-part series, join military historian David Borys as we travel back in time to Iran, where we chart how a modern monarchy, which was armed, wealthy, and globally backed, lost control. On our journey, we'll be helped by historian Roham Alvandi from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
While conflict and armed rebellion have evolved to look very differently over the centuries, if you want to understand the world today, you need to go back because history doesn't just repeat itself; it echoes.
