Sir Anthony Seldon: The Path of Peace

There are various sacred walking journeys throughout the world and its religions. The most famous is probably the Way of St James, the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Writer and educator Sir Anthony Seldon wants another one, in memory of the sacrifices of the first World War. He has written the book The Path of Peace to promote that idea, and he's done the walk himself. Anthony Seldon's known for his political biographies of Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Theresa May. He was headmaster of Wellington College, and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham. He's written or edited 45 books on contemporary history, politics and education. He founded the global charity Action for Happiness, he's a governor of the Royal Shakespeare Company, and last but not least he's also the honorary historical adviser to No. 10 Downing Street. The Path of Peace describes his 1000-kilometre walk along the route of the Western Front.
