Following the talk, have your questions answered before enjoying a private evening viewing of Churchill War Rooms. The Sunday Times bestselling landmark history of the alliance that won the war and made the peace from the author of the acclaimed Appeasing Hitler After the fall of France in June 1940, only Britain stood between Hitler and total victory. Desperate for allies, Winston Churchill did everything he could to bring the United States into the conflict, drive the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany apart and persuade neutral countries to resist German domination. By 1942, after the German invasion of Russia and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the British-Soviet-American alliance was in place. Yet it was an improbable and incongruous coalition, divided by ideology and politics and riven with mistrust and deceit. Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin were partners in the fight to defeat Hitler, yet they were also rivals who disagreed on strategy, imperialism and the future of liberated Europe. Tim Bouverie is the author of the Sunday Times bestsellers Appeasing Hitler: Chamberlain Churchill and the Road to War, shortlisted for the Orwell Prize and Allies at War: The Rivals Who Defeated Hitler, winner of the 2026 Pol Roger Duff Cooper Prize. He studied history at Christ Church Oxford and was the 2020 to 2021 Alistair Horne Fellow at St Antony's College, Oxford. Adults Cancelled
