Helen Fry in Conversation with Katherine Carter

on Churchill’s Citadel

A major new history of Churchill in the 1930s, showing how his meetings at Chartwell, his country home, strengthened his fight against the Nazis.

In the 1930s, as Europe edged toward crisis, Winston Churchill, out of government and with limited power, turned Chartwell, his Kent country home, into a hub for his campaign against Nazi Germany. Hosting figures like Albert Einstein and T.E. Lawrence, Churchill gathered intelligence and strategized with advisors, diplomats, and spies. Katherine Carter unveils the little-known meetings at Chartwell that shaped Churchill’s thinking and positioned him to alter the course of history.
