War Walks is a BBC television documentary series presented by the historian Richard Holmes, then Professor of Military and Security Studies at Cranfield University.
Both the first and the second series are about battles fought by British or English forces (sometimes with foreign allies).
[5] The first series is about six battles fought in the region sometimes called[6] the fatal avenue in the north of France and the south of Belgium.
[7] The second series is about six battles fought in the British Isles, and, in the case of Dunkirk, in the English Channel.
[9] BBC Books published a book, written by Holmes, to accompany each series: The two books were published in a single volume under the title Complete War Walks: British Battles from Hastings to Normandy by BBC World Wide Ltd in 2003.
