Pointless is a word associated with most wars, but maybe none more than The Great War; more commonly known as World War 1. 4 years of loss and tragedy, with no end in sight until one side yielded it was a tragedy like the world had never seen before. I therefore go through the details of the conflict this week, and take moments to reflect on the sombre topic at hand.

Not many talk about this brutal war, and it's easy to understand why. A war full of great tragedy and unspeakable acts, this war stands at the height of shame for America. But just ignoring it serves no good. We learn from our past, so why ignore it even if it is a particular bloody one. This is why I am here to shed some light on the atrocities of the Vietnam War, but so that we can learn from the mistakes made all those years ago.

History is full of villains, but even they have their own stories to be told. With the bad there always comes some good, but not enough to erase a blood soaked reign to the extent of the infamous Genghis Khan.

In these times of change it is good to look back at where such things started. In the case of the current world climate and the issues of oppression we still fight against today one of the great hero's that comes to mind is Martin Luther King. A man who could move a nation with words alone and a role model to all who call themselves a human. If the past is in fact the key to the present, then his story is sure to lead us towards a brighter tomorrow.

The temptress? The one with the plan, the plan to steal the man? The one who chased the king but paid the price with a swordsmans swing?

So why not join me to hear the story of one of England's and Histories most influential women.
