Katherine Carter presents a pivotal new account of Churchill’s activities during the 1930s, highlighting how Chartwell, his rural residence, became the epicentre of his anti-Nazi endeavours. During the 1930s, as Europe edged closer to conflict, Winston Churchill was politically side lined. However, it was during this period that his home, Chartwell, in Kent, transformed into the command centre for his crusade against the rise of Nazi Germany. He convened with esteemed colleagues and sources, such as Albert Einstein and T.E. Lawrence, who bolstered his efforts while he diligently warned of the looming war. Katherine narrates the compelling tale of these significant yet obscure gatherings at Chartwell. She introduces an intriguing ensemble of individuals—from renowned figures to political heavyweights, envoys to intelligence agents—who influenced Churchill’s insights and tactical approach. Utilizing Chartwell as his stronghold, Churchill collected critical information on Germany’s militaristic advancements, positioning himself to alter history’s trajectory. Katherine specialises in early 20th-century political history and manages Chartwell, Churchill’s home, leading its research and upkeep. Katherine has curated exhibitions like ‘Death of a Hero’ and advises on Churchill-related events. Katherine is affiliated with historical and arts societies, including the Royal Historical Society and the International Churchill Society. The event will be followed by a Q&A session and book signing
