NOTES

Narrated by Mike Grady

1914 dawned with Britain at peace, albeit troubled by faultlines within and threats withoutіNigel Jones depicts every facet of a year that changed Britain forever. From gun-running in Ulster, to an attack by suffragettes on a Velasquez painting in the National Gallery; from the opening of London's first nightclub, to the embarking for Belgium of the British Expeditionary Force, he traces the events of a momentous year from its benign domestic beginnings to its descent into the nightmare of European war
