Jonathan Dimbleby: Destiny In The Desert at Blackheath Halls

A session with Jonathan Dimbleby on his most recent work 'Destiny in the Desert: The Story Behind El Alamein'. It explores the British victory at the Battle of El Alamein that inspired one of Churchill's most famous aphorisms: 'It is not the end, nor is it the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning'. In this thrilling historical account, Dimbleby describes the political and strategic realities that lay behind the battle, charting the nail-biting months that led to the victory at El Alamein in November 1942.
