  • Damien Lewis - SAS Daggers Drawn - The Mavericks Who Made the SAS

    In the summer of 1944, the SAS were charged with the most crucial D-Day missions, taking on the might of the Nazi Reich deep behind the enemy lines. Facing Hitler’s armoured legions with little more than raw courage, it would take maverick thinking and unconventional warfare to survive and overcome. Theirs was to become a bitter struggle to topple the dark power wielded from Berlin. SAS Daggers Drawn is the latest in WWII historian, Damien Lewis’s series covering the wartime exploits of the SAS and his powerful celebration of the daring-do of these renegade soldiers.

  • Geoffrey Wheatcroft - Bloody Panico! - Or, Whatever Happened to The Tory Party?

    Leading political commentator, Geoffrey Wheatcroft, argues that the Tory Party has not only faced the loss of government but also an existential crisis. Having been the most electorally successful party in the history of modern Europe – it has been in power for 85 of the past 135 years – it has now sunk almost into oblivion! So what went wrong? In Bloody Panico!, Wheatcroft charts not just the collapse of the party but its shattering to its foundations. Beyond the pantomime of Boris, Truss and the managerial dullness of Sunak, the fabric of the party is frayed. This could see them cast into the political wilderness for decades.

  • Liam Fox -  The Coming Storm - Why Water Will Write the 21st Century

    With Russia’s aggressive war in Ukraine, the world is gripped by concerns over energy security. Yet, there is an even greater threat ahead – one that is much more likely to shape the events of the 21st century than competition for oil or gas. A combination of an ever-increasing global population, climate change, industrialisation, urbanisation and limited natural resources means that one difficulty will shape the years ahead – water. Liam Fox tells the story of water and the problems it presents in a more complete way than ever before. The Coming Storm unites a range of concerns. in conversation with John Dean Priority booking - Become a Friend - Contact TIC Bridport to book tickets - 01308 424901
