Rana Mitter talks to historian Richard Evans, who has just been appointed Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University. Evans discusses how the practice of history has changed in his three-decade career and how the focus of his work has been to ensure that one of the 20th century's greatest tragedies is fully understood by the generations who are born after it. He also talks about the final volume in his trilogy on Hitler's Germany, The Third Reich at War.
