47. On Liberty | Dr Zachary Gorman | Magna Carta; 800 Years Of Freedom.

The Magna Carta has become an enduring symbol of freedom, a triumph over power and tyranny. But would you be surprised to learn that, not only did the great charter have many lives it, "was completely misrepresented?" This is the story, beautifully and methodical told, in historian Dr Zachary Gorman's latest book: Summoning Magna Carta: Freedom's Symbol over a Millennium. Through impeccable research that takes the reader from Runnymede; through England's 17th century civil war and the Crusades; and everywhere in between, Gorman incisively depicts the many lives and impact of the Magna Carta.
