Included
We’re thrilled acclaimed historian and war correspondent Max Hastings returns to the Festival this year, bringing to life the gripping story of Sword Beach on D-Day. Drawing from veteran interviews and new archive research, Hastings vividly recounts the fierce battles, triumphs, and tragedies faced by British troops, commandos, and airborne divisions. Why did they fail to reach Caen as planned? What were the personal stories behind the frontline? With his signature blend of narrative, analysis, and human insight, Hastings will deliver another unmissable talk on one of the most pivotal moments of WWII.
