Book launch: Chain of Fire
This is the launch conference for Peter Hart’s new book CHAIN OF FIRE: CAMPAIGNING IN EGYPT & THE SUDAN, 1882-1898.
*You will all get a free copy of this brand new hardback book retailing at £30 plus the option of a free copy one of Peter’s other books FOOTSLOGGERS, BURNING STEEL or AT CLOSE RANGE.
*A talk by TAFF GILLINGHAM on late Nineteenth Century uniform, equipment and weapons.
*A talk by ALEX CHURCHILL ‘The Breeding of Great War Generals: The value of a Ferret and a Pineapple’ A comedic look at where First World War generals came from, and how they got to where they were going ready for 1914. With side notes on whether this was a good or a bad thing…
*A talk by PETER HART & GARY BAIN on the Battle of Atbara, 8th April 1898. A truly murderous affair.
Our conference chair is the rather wonderful Paul Hildyard.
Nearest tube station is East Finchley plus a short walk. Or use the 263 bus route.
