Kevin Ruane - Churchill and the Bomb

The national – and indeed international - appetite for ‘Churchilliana’ continues unabated, not least with the success of the movie Darkest Hour and Gary Oldman’s award-winning portrayal of the iconic wartime leader. After watching the movie, Donald Trump has put the Cabinet War Rooms in London, Churchill’s wartime nerve-centre, on his itinerary for his 2018 UK visit!

About This Event

Less well known is Churchill’s fascination with science, nuclear war and his take as a statesman on nuclear weapons – from the development of the ‘Bomb’ as a weapon of war against Nazi Germany to the potential use of nuclear arms as weapons of communist containment in the early Cold War. 
Professor Kevin Ruane’s book, Churchill and the Bomb in War and Cold War was named as one of BBC History Magazine’s books of the year.
