The HA are delighted to announce that the Medlicott Medal for 2015 has been awarded to Professor Margaret MacMillan.

Margaret MacMillan is currently Warden of St Antony's College Oxford. Her work on twentieth-century history, particularly the history of the First World War, has received international recognition. Her recent book, The War that Ended Peace: How Europe abandoned peace for the First World War was a major critical and public success. In the run up to the anniversary of the outbreak of war in 2014, Margaret MacMillan chronicled the world in 1914 in the gripping BBC series, 1914 Day by Day.

Professor MacMillan will give the Medlicott Lecture at the 2015 Awards Evening on Wednesday 8 July at the RAF Club on Piccadilly, London.

There are a small number of tickets available for HA members. If you would like to attend, please email: info@history.org.uk or call 020 7735 3901.
