Tim Bouverie with Jonathan Freedland - Allies At War
Sat, Nov 8 at 5pm
Tim Bouverie, author of the acclaimed Appeasement, returns to the Festival to discuss his revelatory new history Allies at War, which focuses on the checkered, multinational relationships between the WW2 allies—primarily Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin—who won the war and made the peace. Was this incongruous coalition, divided by ideology, rivalry and politics, a triumph of diplomacy? Or did it store up trouble for the future?
Tim Bouverie discusses his highly readable and often amusing new book with BBC Radio 4’s The Long View presenter, Jonathan Freedland, and considers whether the Big Three alliance contains lessons for our times.
