Advice wanted! My daughter wants to study Modern History as a degree. She's particularly interested in the Cold War (I realise any undergrad degree will cover all bases).

Where's good?

And by good, I don't mean top of the league tables - I mean respected in the field, good course, wide range of students, nice atmosphere, friendly, supportive, etc.

She doesn't fancy Oxbridge or Durham.

All boosts and thoughts gratefully received! Thank you 😊

My six year old was blown away a few days ago when I told her we didn’t have mobile phones when I was a kid.

Then I thought about it a bit more, and I was blown away as well.

All over Victoria there are old rail roads that have been converted to hiking tracks. The old bridges have been renovated so you can walk across them. These tracks are often easy and flat as they were originally made for steam trains transporting timber.

Has there been any fiction feature film that has used the attempted coup in Spain in 1981 as its background?
