Location: Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms

Following the German occupation of most of Western Europe in 1940, SIS steadily developed a range of intelligence networks that stretched from the North Cape to the Pyrenees. How was this achieved and what effect had the secret agents’ reports upon the final Allied victory? Mark Seaman is an historian at the Cabinet Office who has written extensively on intelligence and special operations during the Second World War.

The Churchill Lecture Series, which runs from September 2009 until April 2010, is presented by some of the world’s leading authorities on Churchill. They take place within the remarkable and historic setting of the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms. Sponsored by Military History.
