Former British Foreign Secretary David Owen (Baron Owen of the City of Plymouth and author of the recently published Cabinet’s Finest Hour: The Hidden Agenda of May 1940) will bring his considerable diplomatic experience to the proceedings as he analyzes Churchill’s role in global affairs.

Speaking in addition to Lord Owen will be another member of the House of Lords, Paul Bew (Baron Bew of Antrim), the distinguished historian and author of Churchill and Ireland published last year by Oxford University Press.
