Mac Deford and Tom DeMarco are back with their patented 100-minute history extravaganza, this

Along the way you’ll meet colorful characters like Tsar Alexander-II (the Liberator), Bismarck, Louis Napoleon, the Anarchists Mikhail Bakunin, Emma Goldman and Prince Peter Kropotkin, Lola Montez, Trotsky, Lenin, and the lovely Krupskaya, Wilhelm and Nicholas and Rasputin. You might even come away with a partial answer to the question that haunts historians to this day: Why did the Great War happen and how could it have been avoided?
