Event details

Drawing on his new book, Britain’s War, Daniel Todman of Queen Mary University of London explores the importance of timing in understanding the experience of conflict.

Nearly seven decades from its outbreak, we are still talking, thinking and learning about the Second World War. Though ‘wartime’ is often presented as an invariable, Daniel shows how, by linking together the stories of the home and fighting fronts, we can bring new understanding to how the Second World War proceeded and what it meant. Join him as he explores why a sense of timing is so important to making sense of Britain’s war.
