Information

What really shaped the outcome of the Second World War? Not just battles and leaders, but the diplomats working behind the scenes. Former Head of the Diplomatic Service, Peter Ricketts, uncovers the gripping, little-known story of the Foreign Office at war - where alliances were forged, resistance supported and the foundations of the modern world laid. From Whitehall to embassies under siege, this is a tale of ingenuity, courage and quiet influence. Rich in human stories, it also reveals how the war opened doors for pioneering women in diplomacy. A fascinating and fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in history. Chaired by Gavin Esler.
