Tonight on Piers Morgan Unsensored, Professor Neil Ferguson is one of the world's most eminent historians,

an authority on civilization, empire and war.

As we all try to make sense of a world apparently on fire, he joins me live to try and explain it for us.

Live from London, this is Pearz Morgan Uncensored.

And among the dead are a simply staggering number of people

who gave their lives for their duties and their jobs. More than 100 aid workers, more than 220

Well, as I say, grief doesn't work any differently in a war.
