Authors Giles Milton and Saul David discuss their new books...
Giles Milton: Russian Roulette
The destruction of British India was the first stage in Lenin’s plot to bring down the democracies of the West. A group of British spies was smuggled into Soviet Russia to prevent this. An unlikely group of men, they were self-taught but highly educated and well versed in dirty tricks. Their boss was a monocled, one-legged sea captain with a passion for secret inks and homemade explosives.
Saul David: 100 Days to Victory
A totally original, utterly engaging account of the Great War – the first book to tell the story of the “war to end all wars” through the events of one hundred key days between 1914 and 1918. Saul David shows vividly how the war reached beyond the battlefield, touching upon events and lives which shaped the conduct and outcome of the conflict.
Tickets: £6 full, £5 concessions, £4 Festival Friends.

Tom Harper: The Orpheus Descent
Once Plato was a questing young man with a secret. He left behind a key, a tiny, burnished, golden tablet thrown away into a swamp that he never expected anyone to find. 2500 years later a young archaeologist stumbles on the greatest secret history the world has ever known…
