An Evening with James Holland and Al Murray
Join Booka for an evening with bestselling historians and number one military podcast hosts James Holland and Al Murray as they talk about their new book Victory ’45: The End of the War in Eight Surrenders
From the Italian Alps to northern Germany, to London, New York, Washington and Tokyo, Victory ’45 tells the story of the extraordinary summer when the greatest conflagration the world had ever known finally came to an end after eight surrenders that heralded the Allied victory.
Comprised of eight chapters based around each of those surrenders and the victory celebrations which followed, it will be rich in character and human drama with revealing stories and perspectives behind the end of the war not yet told before. Each chapter will follow the viewpoints of a number of key characters as they traverse these world-changing events – from ordinary servicemen and women and civilians to generals and political leaders.
What took place during the negotiations of those surrenders and the terms that were agreed there would determine the directions the participating countries would take in the years that followed and ultimately the shape of our current world.
Booka are delighted to be hosting this event with James and Al and look forward to welcoming them to Oswestry to celebrate the publication of Victory ’45. For anyone with an interest in military history this is an evening not to be missed!
