'The history of the world is but the biography of great men'. Thomas Carlyle's words represent the dominant view of history for centuries; history's trajectory is primarily shaped by the actions of powerful individuals. On the other hand, historical academia has diversified beyond this concept, emphasising the influence of social groups and movements. However, controversies surrounding statues and individuals have raised questions about the reliance of the public understanding of history on individuals.

Antony Beevor: History and Hubris
English historian Antony Beevor is credited with transforming the military history genre. He’s breathed new life into the popular understanding of World War II – holding cherished national myths up to harsh light and enthralling readers with his gift for storytelling.

Beevor’s wildly successful 1998 book, Stalingrad, has brought him both the most praise and the most controversy. It’s currently banned in the Ukraine and heavily censored in Russia.
In his latest work of gripping military history, the inimitable Antony Beevor turns his attention to the battle sometimes known as 'Hitler's last victory' – the notorious Battle of Arnhem in the eastern Netherlands....

English historian Antony Beevor is credited with transforming the military history genre. He’s breathed new life into the popular understanding of World War II – holding cherished national myths up to harsh light and enthralling readers with his gift for storytelling.
For his troubles, he’s been knighted and he’s topped bestseller lists, but he’s also sometimes hit raw nerves at home and abroad. Beevor’s wildly successful 1998 book, Stalingrad, has brought him both the most praise and the most controversy. It’s currently banned in the Ukraine and heavily censored in Russia.
In his latest work of gripping military history, the inimitable Antony Beevor turns his attention to the battle sometimes known as 'Hitler's last victory' – the notorious Battle of Arnhem in the eastern Netherlands. It’s a story of hubris, folly and bad luck – a disaster for the British and their allies – on a grand scale. In Arnhem: The Battle for the Bridges, 1944, it’s a story told with rigour and flair.
Join the eminent and unflinching Beevor as he talks about book bans and battles, with host Michael Veitch, for our Mayhem series.

Is Europe on the verge of a new world war? Renowned historian and master chronicler Antony Beevor gives a thorough overview of the most important Dutch battle in WWII in his newest book Arnhem: The Battle of the Bridges.

Beevor will tell about the Battle of Arnhem and will also discuss the current state of Europe with De Balie director and fellow historian Yoeri Albrecht. What lessons can be drawn from the past?
Sir Antony Beevor is one of the best known military historians and experts of WWII. He has published several popular histories, such as Stalingrad, The Battle of Spain, D-Day and The Second World War. The Battle of Arnhem is remembered as a national trauma in The Netherlands. It was one of the greatest demonstrations of paratrooper power ever seen, a heroic battle that lasted nine days and ended in a catastrophic failure and at last became a victory for Adolf Hitler. The cost of failure was horrendous, above all for the Dutch who risked everything to help. German reprisals were cruel and lasted until the end of the war. Antony Beevor, using many overlooked and new sources from Dutch, British, American, Polish and German archives, has reconstructed the terrible reality of this epic battle.
Beevor is also known for his sharp analyses of modern Europe. What does he think about the present developments in Europe? Great Britain is leaving the Union, Free Press and the Rule of Law are under attack in Poland and Hungary, populism is on the rise and the renewed call for a strong leader can be heard all over Europe. At the same time the European Union can hardly handle the crises it faces. Which comparisons can be made with Europe of one century ago?

De Slag om Arnhem is de geschiedenis in gegaan als een nationaal trauma. Een van de grootste luchtlandingen uit de oorlog, een heroïsche strijd die negen dagen duurde, een catastrofale misrekening van de Britten en de laatste overwinning van Adolf Hitler. Gebruikmakend van nieuw archiefmateriaal schetst Antony Beevor de lotgevallen van soldaten en burgers en ontdoet de veldslag van zijn mythen.
Beevor staat ook bekend om zijn scherpe analyses van het Europa van nu. Hoe kijkt hij naar de huidige ontwikkelingen in Europa? Groot-Brittannië verlaat de Unie, in Polen en Hongarije brokkelen de vrije pers en de rechtstaat af, populisme wint door heel Europa, de roep om een sterke leider wint aan aantrekkingskracht en de EU wordt geplaagd door crisissen waar zij geen adequaat antwoord op heeft.
