Live stream viewing available at: https://www.youtube.com/@US_AWC/streams Join us in person or virtually on Tuesday, November 12th at 6:30pm EDT for the Fall 2024 "Perspectives" Lecture Series with Author, Historian, and Curator, Katherine Carter as she discusses her book "Churchill's Citadel: Chartwell and the Gatherings Before the Storm". Carter's book provides a fascinating account of the remarkable but little-known meetings that took place behind closed doors at Chartwell. From high-profile figures to political leaders, diplomats to spies, she reveals a fascinating cast of characters who each made their mark on Churchill's thinking and political strategy. With Chartwell as his base, Churchill was able to gather critical intelligence about Germany's preparations for war, ultimately positioning himself to have a significant impact on the course of history. Doors open at 6:00 pm EDT and the lecture will be followed by a question-and-answer session. The event is free and open to the public and will include book sales and signing by Carter at the end of the program.
