Pre-eminent British historian and one of the greatest chroniclers of the Second World War, Antony Beevor discusses his outstanding body of work, including his latest release, Arnhem. Antony served in the 11th Hussars before writing four novels and 12 books of non-fiction (including the gripping Stalingrad). His talent as a historian and storyteller have positioned him as Britain's number one bestselling historian, earned him countless awards, and a knighthood. He’s introduced by Kate Evans and talks about his gripping, authoritative works of military history – elucidating his superbly written and forensically researched account of the failed Allied paratroopers’ campaign to seize bridges leading to the Rhine in 1944, as detailed in his new bestseller.
