NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Historian and author Katherine Carter will be at the New Orleans Opera Association, in partnership with The Garden District Book Shop, on Dec. 3 to discuss her latest work on Winston Churchill, “Churchill’s Citadel: Chartwell and the Gatherings Before the Storm.”
About the book: “Churchill’s Citadel” is a major new history of Churchill in the 1930’s, showing how his meetings at Chartwell, his country home, strengthened his fight against the Nazis. Carter tells the extraordinary story of the remarkable but little known meetings that took place behind closed doors at Chartwell. From household names to political leaders, diplomats to spies, Carter reveals a fascinating cast of characters, each of whom made their mark on Churchill’s thinking and political strategy. With Chartwell as his base, Churchill gathered intelligence about Germany’s preparations for war—and, in doing so, put himself in a position to change the course of history.
The author event will begin at 6 p.m. Carter will be joined in conversation by Christopher Tidmore. Afterwards, Carter will personalize copies of her book. The event is free and open to the public but interested parties are encouraged to RSVP and reserve their book ahead of time on Eventbrite.
