Why were Hitler, Stalin and Trotsky in Vienna in 1913?
Hitler, Stalin, Trotsky, Freud, Jung, Tito - some of the most influential and some might say infamous figures who shaped the history of the 20th century.

Speaking to Today presenter John Humphrys, Charles Emmerson, author of 1913: The World Before the Great War, and Professor Dardis McNamee, editor of the The Vienna Review, discussed the appeal of Vienna in 1913.
