Join us to hear Phil Craig in conversation with Clare Wright about 1945: The Reckoning

Friday 10 October, 6.00pm
Readings Hawthorn

We are delighted to host a conversation between author Phil Craig and historian Professor Clare Wright.

Craig's book, 1945: The Reckoning is about war, empire and the struggle for a new world.

As the fate of the world is decided, so too is that of the British, Dutch and French empires. Clearing away the haze of nostalgia, many uncomfortable truths emerge - but so too does a humane and balanced exploration of what victory in the Second World War truly means.

Free, but bookings are essential.

Please book here.

Location
Hawthorn, Wurundjeri Country, 687 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn
