Allies at War: The Politics of Defeating Hitler

Thursday 2 October
Castle Hill Baptist Church
7.30pm

After the fall of France in 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 and to drive the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany apart. By 1942, the British American Soviet alliance was in place. 

Yet this 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 a liberated Europe.

Tim Bouverie draws on material from over a hundred archives, using vivid, first-hand accounts and unpublished diaries, to offer a fresh perspective on the Second World War and the origins of the Cold War.
