SUMMARY:IWM In Conversation With: Allen Packwood and Kevin Ruane
DESCRIPTION:Churchill\, Science and Technology\nExplore Winston Churchill’s relationship with science and technology\, and how technological advances influenced the Second World War in this special IWM In Conversation With: event at Churchill War Rooms. \nBorn 150 years ago in 1874\, Churchill was witness to the huge advances in technology which took place in the first half of the 20th century. From jet aircraft taking to the skies and the dawning of the nuclear age\, the Second World War drove forward technology at an incredible pace. \nJoin three experts at Churchill War Rooms this November to understand the impact of technology on Winston Churchill and the war. After the talk\, take the time to meet the speakers\, ask questions and explore Churchill War Rooms and the Churchill Museum after-hours. \nAbout the Speakers\nAllen Packwood\nAllen Packwood is a Fellow of Churchill College\, Cambridge\, and the Director of the Churchill Archives Centre.
