About the show
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.
While conflict and armed rebellion have evolved to look very differently over the centuries, if it feels like we’ve been here before it's because we have.
Join military historian David Borys who has spent his entire career studying armed conflict as he brings together some of the brightest minds to take you inside the world's most defining conflicts and rebellions. From Genghis Khan, and the Crusades to Vietnam and the war in Iran. If you want to understand the world today you need to go back because history doesn't just repeat itself, it echoes.
