Winston Churchill towers above every other figure in 20th-century British history. By the time of his death at the age of 90 in 1965, many thought of him as the greatest man in the world.
There have been over a thousand previous biographies of Churchill. Andrew Roberts now draws on over 40 new sources, including the private diaries of King George VI, to depict him more intimately and persuasively than ever before.
There will be a book signing with the author after the event.
In September 1944, the Allies launched a daring airborne operation to cross the Rhine and advance into northern Germany. Market Garden remains one of the Second World War’s most famous battles.
During 1944-45, the Allies endured months of fighting against a determined enemy. This bloody struggle eventually ended in the final defeat of Nazi Germany.
