World War II: Whose story is being told?
Tuesday, 10 November, 2026
As the saying goes: History is written by the victors. In the West, World War II was the good war; the defeat of fascism; a story about survival, liberation and sacrifice. But across Africa and Asia, the millions who fought returned to new forms of rule—not all of them favorable. As the generation that lived through the war fades away, the battle over its meaning continues on. In this episode, we ask: How and why does the story of World War II differ across nations and generations? Have our memories and takeaways changed over time? Who’s missing from the global narrative? And did we learn the right lessons, or are we doomed to repeat history? 💬 Join the conversation in the comments. Featuring: Tariq Ali: Author and historian Carol Gluck: Professor of history, Columbia University Patrick Porter: Professor of international security, University of Birmingham Daqing Yang: Associate professor of history, George Washington University Moderated by award-winning journalist and writer Mohamed Hassan
