Hitler’s December 1941 declaration of war against the United States brought it into the European theatre and the planning for an Allied invasion began. In his books on the Second World War, on D-Day and in his maps, Sir Martin describes the build-up to the invasion, the deceptions, the landings and the aftermath. Join us for one of Lady Gilbert’s popular events where she reads selected passages from Sir Martin’s books to paint a picture of what happened 80 years ago that turned the tide of history.
Lady Gilbert, Sir Martin’s widow, is director of Martin Gilbert Publications Limited and oversees his legacy. She is the creator and editor of three volumes of Holocaust Memoir Digest, and has been involved in Holocaust commemoration and education since 1983. She was a co-founder of the Sir Martin Gilbert Learning Centre as a way to perpetuate Sir Martin’s method of studying History.
