From Dunkirk evacuees to intelligence-gathering and atom bomb research, Oxford had a distinctive Second World War experience. Focusing on the University though embracing the city and the surrounding countryside, this talk explores major themes in the author’s forthcoming book, Oxford’s War, to be published by the Bodleian Library

Kellogg Visiting Fellow and author, Prof Ashley Jackson will present the talk.

This event is open to the public. Refreshments will be served after the talk.
