Delving into big history

Professor Michael Burleigh is a world-renowned historian whose massive books including The Racial State; Death and Deliverance; Germany Turns Eastwards; The Third Reich; Earthly Powers and Sacred Causes; Blood and Rage; and Moral Combat: A History of WW2 have been translated into 20 languages.

He won the 2001 Samuel Johnson Prize for Non Fiction, as well as three prizes for TV documentaries based on his work, notably a British Film Institute Award for Archival Achievement in 1991 for ‘Selling Murder’ and a NYTV Festival Award for ‘Heil Herbie’.

He took time out of his busy schedule to tell the Hipstorians about the writing life of an author whose acclaimed, award-winning histories explore many of the most challenging issues of our time much as euthanasia, genocide, terrorism, the nature of religion and globalisation.
