This seminar is offered as a dual commemoration, of the 50th anniversary of the death of Winston Churchill and the 75th anniversary of his brainchild , the Battle of Britain, which held off the German air attacks and put pay to “Operation Sea Lion”, the much feared Nazi invasion of the British Isles. The seminar will trace the figure of Churchill as a prime player on the British and international stages through the fifty or so years of his political life.
