Phil Craig with Gavin Mortimer1945: The Reckoning
10am – 11am
Upstairs at Bookfest
Written to mark the 80th anniversary of the ending of the WWII, 1945: The Reckoning is the final volume of Phil Craig’s bestselling Finest Hour trilogy. It focuses on the fate of India and the imperial possessions of Britain, France and Holland in the Far East.
Phil has unearthed some surprising and confronting stories of what he calls ‘imperial muscle memory’: moments when the public war aims of the British state – liberation and self determination for all peoples – were set aside in favour of colonial power games.
Many uncomfortable truths emerge. James Holland said of the book: ‘Ambitious, deeply thought-provoking … and compellingly told.’
Phil will be in conversation with author and military historian, Gavin Mortimer
