Military historian Nick Lloyd discusses his definitive history of the Eastern Front in the First World War.
About the event
Nick Lloyd examines the vast conflict in Eastern Europe and the Balkans that brought about the collapse of three empires. Perhaps as many as 16 million soldiers and two million civilians were killed, wounded or maimed in enormous battles that sometimes ranged across a front of 100 km in length.
Through intimate eyewitness reports, diary entries and memoirs, many of which have never been translated into English before, Lloyd reconstructs a conflict that shook the world, and is central to understanding the 20th century and the current war in Ukraine.
About the speaker
Nick Lloyd is Professor of Modern Warfare at King’s College London, based at the Defence Academy Shrivenham, Wiltshire. He is the author of four previous books, including ‘Passchendaele: A New History’, which was a Sunday Times bestseller.
