Tuesday, 18th January 2011 – 7.00pm

Location: Churchill War Rooms

During the Second World War, new technologies played a key role in how the war was waged. Churchill called the race for scientific superiority ‘the Wizard War’ and gave the innovators of the day his full backing. Taylor Downing looks at the mavericks, eccentrics and boffins who Churchill championed and how they contributed to an Allied victory.
