And it was really a pleasure to do and its a very, like i said, its a really happy story. Great. Thank you for your time. Up next on booktv, Margaret Macmillan Come International history professor at Oxford University examines the lead up to world war i. This is just over one hour. Welcome everybody to todays council on Foreign Relations meeting. I look back at the build up to the great war with Margaret Macmillan and Robert Massie. Im david amblin, editor of world policy journal and i would like to welcome our National Members participating in this meeting through the live screen. You know, i was sitting at lunch i have a little surprise for our two guests, because i checked 100 years ago today out of curiosity come november 4, 1913, the United States was preparing to muster 500,000 troops and gear up for war against a major power. President wilson had just given an ultimatum to that nations head of state but we didnt go to war. At least not them. That major power was on this side of
Of opinion with how this war began . And a great observation that history county archives, and can you actually determine what the facts are based on available information or shall we always be disputing these issues . Theres not much to be discovered in the archives. A lot of german high command archives in the Second World War, the russians took some back to moscow, and have not been thoroughly explored yet. And elements within the soviet government knew what was going on and great and discovered caches of documents but i dont think we will come to an agreement, viewpoints keep changing but it is such a complex event. The Second World War is so much clearer. They wanted or prepared to risk war. And first of all, it is such a complex correction of events, and what they will keep on doing is deepening the context so so we know much more about European Society at the time and very interesting studies done, education. What were people learning in their schools and it is something about w
Years ago today out of curiosity november 4, 1913 the United States was preparing to muster 500,000 troops and year up for war against a major power. President wilson had just given an ultimatum to that nations head of state but we did not go to war. At least not then. That major power was on the side of the atlantic. It was mexico. And the general was the great menace of that moment. So i found this on the front page where else, the new york times. The next 17 pages of that days paper there was not a single mention of europe. Whether there was any menace in europe whereas our two featured authors today have masterfully chronicled very currently the seeds of a rural world war would that were already germinating. The second balkan war had just concluded to set the stage of that in europe is building a favre rotter and more deadly confrontation. To examine all these routes is my pleasure to welcome margaret at his lead up to the conflict in her new the war that ended peace as she was des
Not there in numbers. Perhaps not as glamorous as other planes. The constitution to the war effort was a replaceable. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. It just seems so familiar to actually sit here. When we put it back together again youll have to come see it. Absolutely. This was the airplane i flew in vietnam, this very tail number. Of the 226 combat missions i flew, i flew about 180 nations in this airplane. Its my titanium mistress. Its what brought me home at times when it probably shouldnt have. When i abused it, when it did things in order to survive, punished it and it held together. It is an airplane i is such strong feelings for. Theres a way i couldnt bring it home, if i could. Interesting story. I had a painting done by an aviation artist to paint my airplane in this battle your. He asked me if i knew what happened to it, and i said no, i didnt. He said he knew someone who did. That got the ball rolling. If theres any way that we can bring the airplane in out of the cold an
