From Brink to Blitz: Lessons from WWII for Europe’s Future

With NATO and the ‘Special Relationship’ hanging by a thread and with war raging once more in Europe, the question of allies and how to handle them has never been more relevant. Not, at least, for eighty years….

Join best-selling historian Tim Bouverie, author of the recently published Allies at War: The Politics of Defeating Hitler, and Sunday Times’ chief political commentator and author of ‘The Brexit Quartet’, Tim Shipman, for what promises to be a fascinating discussion on the improbable and incongruous alliance that won the Second World War and the lessons we can take from that era.

Based on deep historical research in more than a hundred archives, Bouverie will reveal the often fractious relationships between Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin, de Gaulle and Chiang Kai-shek and explore the parallels, as well as contrasts, with today.
