I have long been interested in landscape history, and when younger and more robust I used to do much tramping of the English landscape in search of ancient field systems, drove roads, indications of prehistoric settlement. Towns and cities, too, which always retain the ghost of their earlier incarnations beneath today's concrete and glass.
All history, of course, is the history of wars.
History unravels; circumstances, following their natural inclination, prefer to remain ravelled.
