In 2020, Anthony Seldon, inspired by a fallen World War I soldier who dreamed of a 'Via Sacra' to commemorate the war dead and stand as a marker for the triumph of peace, set out on a 1000km walk tracing the historic route of the Western Front. But there wasn't to be lasting peace, with the continent falling into an even more horrific war two decades later. In 'The Path of Light', Seldon walks the route from where World War I ended to Auschwitz, discovering the towns and people who resisted in the face of unbearable destruction, and ruminating on the Second World War's legacy.
