well, the first world war became such a dreadful experience for everyone. a huge number of people began to say up up up, up what became known as this takeover. and this was something that they took the view that something was happening so dreadful. almost anything was better up up up up up but how do you pack it in? not it is a diplomatic process. i think it was much more difficult. one of the veterans who up it was in this book, who i think tells it well was up henry miller. and he wrote a memoir in 1978. he said in a memoir that he was fed up with reading all this stuff about how the first world war had never been allowed to go on and so forth. he said that mean my generation, they still believe passionately in the rights of our course. and i think that they were right. especially in the justice of their cause. i think it was necessary for the cause of democracy and freedom. because of germany winning, i think it would be very important. .. wear what they war in the war of 1817. they marched n to battle in the same way as the officers in that poll -- flag

one thing that we got wrong is that we all think that -- certainly in britain we think that the first world was much worse. in the second world where we had better generals. but the truth was we were able to defeat an enemy of industrial strength. the french and the british and the russians, actually, they lost a lot of people as well. the french and the british lost enormous number of people on the battlefield. it was the russians and eastern front who did it. especially d-day was a huge and fantastic event with the allies that they ran brilliantly well. the allied casualties are much worse. especially in the weeks after d-day. so when it comes to the first world war, we were going head-to-head with this fantastically powerful german army, battering away at each other. the german army broke and then of course there was the great allied sweep across france. and we lost to the allies by about, if i remember about 300,000 total. days later in the normandy campaign, that is what we saw. >> this is booktv and c-span2. we are in london. currently we are talking with author max hastings. he is a

on a slightly obscure technical mission to manage the reparations payments from germany for the first world war after the war's over in one thousand nine hundred for a decade or so there was a lot of arguments about how much germany should have to pay for starting and fighting the first world war and eventually they agreed something called the young plan and they needed somebody to administer or something to administer the young plan so they set up the bank for international settlements to do that the b.o.'s but the real reason the b.o.'s was set up was to have a place where central bankers could meet in conditions of secrecy and under very strong legal protection the bank was founded by an international treaty in one nine hundred thirty and it's the only commercial bank in the world that's protected by an international treaty. and that the treaty of versailles. the hague treaty ok or and then in the early one nine hundred thirty s. germany stopped paying reparations so what was the role of the b. i asked once that's happened. the story of what happened after the reparations is symbolic of

first world war, when i think bernie baruch was all--doing a government job of some kind. and anyhow they took to each other very much and they became great friends. and mr. baruch would always come and see my father when he was in england, and my father and, indeed, all of us in our days stayed with mr. baruch. he was a great friend of my father's, the most wonderful man. he seemed like 8 foot tall. he and had piercing blue eyes. and i always thought he looked like jehovah. i told him once and he was actually quite pleased. c-span: at what time in your life did you enjoy your parents the most? >> guest: enjoy my parents most? c-span: the most, yeah. at what time? >> guest: oh, i don't know. right from my teen-age right through the war. i was very close in the war. i mean, they were so terrific. and afterwards all through--we lived at chartwell after the war for--not in their house, in a small house on the grounds--and i saw so much of them. they've always meant so much to me and mine. christopher, my husband, was very close to my father, very close. c-span: when did you b

i just said was the first world war in the sense that was fought all over the world. >> he has divided his book, "flight of the eagle," into four sections. the first one is about the aspelin state and the dates are 1754 to 1836. what's happening during this period, conrad black, and what is the united states aspiring to? >> in the early part of the period, they aspired just to be rid of the french. but the leading columnists saw the potential for america in the most part they saw the potential as working in tandem and in partnership with the british but the relationship gradually changing. franklin come as early as 1740 predicted that america would have a greater population on the british isles within 100 years and he was almost exactly right. that did occur in the early 1840's and the time that president van buer dinh. and until the relations broke down between the british and the americans, the hope among these people including washington and jefferson and all but a few hotheads like samuel adams are patrick henry was that it would be worked out but instead of being the samore demint

we've been right through the first world war and we listened to winston churchill and what he said. second he was a tremendous people. he had little papers he sent to his subordinates and the very short, crisp to the point instruction they were to carry out and had to carry out the same day so that was the second reason. the fifth reason is people loved him. he'd been through many things including periods of on popularity. but on the whole, people believed in him and they thought that he was going to somehow pull us through and he is a wonderful example of the impact, the influence of individuals on history. we hear from the other sociologists and things like that that history is controlled by huge forces and enormous people and so forth. it isn't. history is controlled by brilliance to the pavilions of outstanding individuals who make history and the most upstanding in my career and it was winston churchill because he turned the war around. he carried on until russia and the united states joined us and overwhelmed the nazis. >> host: have you met him? >> guest: yes i have. he came

she was a young woman, a baby boomer, born right after the first world war i. who grew up in a working class family in bizarre land which was a contested territory, a border region. there was a lot of attempts to rejoin the league of nations mandate with germany. in the '30s. she worked on a chicken farm, she had a, you know, kind of graceful education. trying to get out and see the world, you know, these am brigses -- ambitions stirred by the women in particular. and trying to find her way. and what she does is finds her way to a nazi newspaper office, and working as a typist there. she has a clerical skills, and she meets her husband there who is a thug. a street fighter. he's got even throwing -- showing off the scars and bruises. she's somehow enchanted by that. by his brutality. he's in the ss, so he's got, you know, a rising career. he's going to be part of the elite. and she attach hertz to him. that's from the marriage application. the ss marriage application filed. their marriage had to be approved by hitler himself. >> because he was ss. >> yes. they

the one thing that would not have changed as the world was still be caught up in the grips of the first world war. great powers, france, germany, england, still would have played out their games and fought the world war. i say, one of the differences about this group or is that the united states would have been not in it. the confederacy would be tied closely to england and france, and america would only have one place left. that would be germany. oh, no. 20th-century americans. it would never join up with the germans. in 1900 the germans were the second largest influence in the united states behind the irish. so to this day you can see it in the midwest. milwaukee, st. louis. large german communities. and this was a factor in not giving in to world war one to some extent. my theory is the united states will have comments of the war on the side of germany and the confederacy would have been on this side of the allies and the first world war would have been right here at home. that change is just a couple of things. this some battles and the war. you try to -- i had a recipe. i believe it is t

the far right extremists want the territory hungary lost after the first world war return. this is a central theme of the radicals, as is anti-semitism. the hungarians who have come to this rally are very well aware of this. the countries openly racist, anti-semitic, and homophobic, but this man posy friend from poland was apparently less aware. >> they are visiting us for three days. i think this is a very nice rally, and there is a concert. we are just taking a look. >> yes, i am. >> what? no, you are not. >> yes, i am. it is good. it is a real hungarian party. >> the talmud is supposedly on sale here, but it is in fact a mock text of this rabbinic texts of central today is in. . >> and of hitler, even. that's not so nice. >> it is very sneaky. it is not very pleasant. >> this should not be displayed so openly. >> but this man says how can it be that every word of "mein kampf" is a lie? one leader who has made such statements respectable, in his half-hour long antisemitic tirade, makes fun of holocaust victims and even proposes that a list of jews who pose a national secu

the first world war killed that golden age. people leave the village. the red scare slams down on the rad calls and socialists and the an ark -- anarchists, and hayward is arrested, flynn was arrested as well. hundreds of people deported as foreign radicals, and in then comes prohibition, and in the 1920s, the village is known as a party zone than an arty zone and speak easies on every block. henry and june miller ran one in a basement for a while. the hostess with the mostest was famous for the saying give the little girls a big hand, and worked in all the big fancy night clean ups, the one jimmy walker was in all the time uptown, lived in the village. a giant personality and moved to grenich village. the famous speakeasy was started then, and, actually, started before prohibition as hoppest to god restaurant tavern, but it was famous speak easy during prohibition. chumley was an anarchist and iww supporter. this legend is a little questionable, and i'm not sure about it, but it is said the term requester -- "86th" comes from the back door which was 86

and if you look around the world, one of the ways in which a country gets to be a first world sort ofs by women having more control over their fertility, over their own bodies, over reproduction, being able to limit the number of children. this is sort of common to economists around the world. this is the way that you advance a society, is by having women have more autonomy. what you have in the ultimate first world country, the united states, is a group of men who are trying to push women backward, and try to take away their autonomy, give it back to men, give men more control over the economy, more control over the household, more control over the women. it is so odd and anachronistic, but this is what is happening. >> joy reid, thank you very much for explaining republican men's attitude. republican-elected officials' attitude towards women. i don't know if we're ever going to figure that out. thank you, joy. >> thanks. >>> coming up, chris christie was opposed to paying for special elections before he was in favor of paying for it. >>> and the urban legend, rudy guiliani is in the

historically they all delivered a form of victor's justice starting in the first world war second world war. japan and in in germany. when the modern tribunals came about yugoslavia and it was said that they were there to try all sides so that would not be victor's justice and the permanent international criminal court is specifically instructed to look at conflicts in the wronged so that all sides might be prosecuted. unhappily it's not always the case that the tribunals have been able to prosecute all sides yugoslavia tribunal did attempt to prosecute all sides but the rwanda tribunal failed and there are many people who think that the cases of the international criminal court in africa failed to look at all now i'm sure you encounter that in your legal practice and i saw it in the years of covering conflicts that what can turn pretty ordinary nonviolent people into mass murderers and the nature of the actions for mation is very very complex so i would argue if you do war environment without ignoring this fact and judging these people by the norms of peace time doesn't do justice does

and it is a belief pretty much the same thing and they may change from the group but during the first world war intellectuals on the left after they saw the carnage they all became a pacifist as a heard right after word and remained that way. >> host: how did intellectuals' cluster when it comes to race? >> different ways. early in the 20th century they clustered behind the belief that genes determine everything. and some races were inferior summer superior and that means the people on the left john maynard keynes was one of the founders of the eugenics society they word dogmatic on this subject but by the end of this century they clung to the other end of the spectrum as a group anyone who dared to disagree was regarded as a racist. >> host: dr. thomas sowell where are clusters -- intellectuals clustered now? all differences between groups or presumptively by others and it is impervious to evidence but the housing situation, when they discovered for prime mortgage loans were turned down come instantly to the media decided that if you look at the same data from blacks and whites for asian-a

the side of germany and the confederacy would have been on the side of the quote allies, and the first worldould have been right here at home. counterfactual history changes just a couple of things. in my case it's the battles in the war, and then after that you begin to see what the ramifications of that are. but you try -- i had a recipe i'll try and remember. i believe it's two parking lots reality ask and one -- two parts reality and one part imagination. and you intersperse them, and, you know, enjoy a good meal. but the factual part is very important. >> is what if a question that historians ask often? >> they don't ask it often openly. there's a -- the way i put it, every historian secretly asks what if when he's writing his history, or at least if you're dealing with historians who are writing about great events and so forth. they choose their events partly because they think they're important. why are they important? because if they didn't have to happen, the world would be different. if you're arguing that the world is changed because of your event, then you must be arguing that it
