»WINSTON CHURCHILL« FRANZISKA AUGSTEIN IM GESPRÄCH MIT ANDREAS WIRSCHING & NICK STARGARDT

In the organizer's words:

"Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat"

- Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was one of the most outstanding politicians of his time; his inaugural speech as Prime Minister in 1940 has gone down in history. Rhetorically brilliant, artistically gifted and awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, he was also a universal man and a dazzling personality. The journalist and historian Franziska Augstein describes the life of Hitler's toughest opponent from a new perspective and against the backdrop of his time. Her biography of Churchill (dtv) is a portrait of a brilliant strategist and "baroque artist of life" as well as his era between Victorian England and the era of the moon landing. We will hear Franziska Augstein in conversation with the historians Andreas Wirsching (LMU Munich) and Nick Stargardt (Magdalen College, Oxford).
