'Family
and countrymen seem inextricably linked - in some ways our country is
like our family: we know it extraordinarily well, yet we don't always
like it. Nevertheless it keeps its hold on our loyalties in spite of
everything else.' The BBC's World Affairs Editor's new volume of
memoirs entitled Days from a Different World: A Memoir of Childhood recalls the England he grew up in, painting a vivid picture of Britain in the 1940s.

Tuesday 22 November 2005 at 7.00pm - The Venue, Spur Road, Quarry Lane
Drawing on an extensive and often neglected archive material in
the India Office Library and National Army Museum, celebrated military
historian and television presenter Richard Holmes discusses Sahib: The British Soldier in India 1750-1914, a broad and sweeping military history of the British soldier in India. Its focus, like that of Tommy and Redcoat,
is on the men who served in India and the women who followed them
across that vast and dusty country, bore their children, and, all too
often, mopped their brows as they died.
