In this episode Mick has a coffee and chat with Dr Huw Davies, a senior lecturer & historian at the Defence Studies Department, Kings College London. The topic is Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington and his influence on the strategic culture of 19th Century Britain. Mick attempts to confirm some of his 'populist' preconceptions about the Iron Duke whilst Huw is having none of it. 

 

It is a long listen, but one with an interesting topic and some great atmosphere.
