SUMMARY:The Cold War & Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Former British Ambassador to Russia\, Sir Roderic Lyne joins the English-Speaking Union Lincolnshire Committee’s John Raine in conversation to talk about his varied and distinguished career and insight into current relationships at 6pm on Thursday\, 13 May 2021 on Zoom. The event is free – please email Kelly Bevers for the access link at kelly.bevers@carlbom.co.uk. \nSon of senior RAF officer and Spitfire pilot Air Vice Marshal Michael Lyne (and point of interest for Lincolnshire locals: Commandant of RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire in 1963)\, Sir Roderic began to flourish only after scraping into Leeds University where he fast became a stellar student. Joining the Foreign Office\, the refreshingly down-to-earth young diplomat went from strength to strength and held roles including Private Secretary to Prime Minister John Major and Assistant Private Secretary to Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington. He was lured out of retirement from the public service front line to be part of the Chilcot Inquiry’s five-strong panel. \nJohn Raine CMG OBE served in the UK Diplomatic Service for over 30 years until his retirement in 2017 and is currently Senior Adviser at the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London where he specialises in the Middle East.

SUMMARY:Hertfordshire Branch Zoom talk: The Mary Rose
DESCRIPTION:The ESU Hertfordshire Branch is delighted to invite all ESU members to join them on Zoom talk about the Mary Rose given by Edward Towne. \nEdward Towne graduated in European Studies from the University of East Anglia and later achieved a PGCE from Cambridge\, an MA in Early Modern English History from the University of London and a MSt in Twentieth Century British History from the University of Oxford. His professional career was spent teaching History in state and independent Secondary Schools. Currently\, Edward lectures to adults in a variety of organisations and acts as a reviewer and tour leader on historical topics. \nThe “Mary Rose”\, the pride of Henry VIII’s fleet\, was launched in 1512 and saw service against the French in the 1520’s.  In 1545\, the Mary Rose put out from Portsmouth Harbour to engage a French invasion fleet but sank with heavy loss of life as Henry VIII and his courtiers watched.  The reason for the sinking is hotly debated:  accurate French cannon fire\, a freak wave\, poor seamanship and overmanning are all suggested. \nAfter several unsuccessful attempts at salvage the remains of the hull were raised in 1982 and are now displayed at Portsmouth Dockyard. \nPlease register here to reserve your space.

SUMMARY:Zoom event: From Brycgstow to Bristol in 45 Bridges
DESCRIPTION:ESU Bristol branch invites you to an evening with Jeff Lucas to explore the Bridges of Bristol\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBristol has 45 bridges that span its main waterways that can be crossed by foot. Each has a story to tell about the history and growth of the city\, from the city’s origins as the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Brycstow (the “Place of the Bridge”) to the present day. They are stories about trade\, transport\, communities\, engineering and design. \nIn this talk\, Jeff Lucas examines the various factors that resulted\, over the course of a thousand years\, in Bristol having so many bridges and recounts a selection of their sometimes dramatic histories. \nAll 45 bridges have been linked together into a long-distance walk which takes you from the inner city to the sea and back again\, crossing each bridge only once. \nJeff explains how such a walk is a solution to an old mathematical puzzle\, solved for Bristol by mathematician Thilo Gross\, formerly of Bristol University. \nHis talk is copiously illustrated with archive photographs and drawings\, and his own revealing photography. \nReserve your ticket here: https://bristol_in_45_bridges.eventbrite.co.uk

SUMMARY:Zoom event: Enlightenment Sea Monsters: Language\, Information and Truth
DESCRIPTION:Hertfordshire ESU invites you to join Professor Raven\, for a short zoom lecture followed by a group discussion. \nIn this informal talk\, Professor Raven shares his new historical work in progress – a ‘book biography’ that examines the global influence of a now-forgotten eighteenth-century best-seller. It is a story of an intellectual Scandinavian bishop\, determined to explore\, explain and write about the natural world\, but\, persuaded by the truth of sightings and myths about sea monsters\, became embroiled in debates about fakery that consumed readers and influenced writers around the world. Current parallels might be entertained…. \nReserve your ticket here: \nhttps://esuhertfordshire.eventbrite.co.uk

SUMMARY:ONLINE EVENT: WHY DO WE DEBATE?
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore the purpose of debate in civil society.  \nThe discussion\, chaired by Prof. James Raven\, Chair of the ESU\, will be led by our panel: Dr Katie East\, Lecturer in the History of Radical Ideas at Newcastle University; Bilal Mahmood\, ESU Governor\, senior legal consultant for China Construction Bank\, and internationally acknowledged mentor to generations of young debaters; and Christopher L. Peterson\, the Democratic candidate for the Governorship of Utah and John J. Flynn Endowed Professor of Law at the University of Utah. Fittingly\, Prof. Peterson and his Republican counterpart\, Spencer Cox\, recently issued a joint TV advertisement calling for ‘Civility in debate’ especially to set an example to the young in the US.  \nProfessor James Raven\, Chair of the English-Speaking Union\, says: ‘At its best\, debate should be a collaborative\, solution-focused process and yet\, in these polarised times\, public debate so often quickly descends into personal attacks or a refusal to engage. This event will examine the purpose of debate and what its rules of engagement should be.  \n‘We look forward to a variety of illuminating perspectives\, from Dr East who inspires her students with positive models of debate; to Mr Mahmood who is passionate about debate as a tool of empowerment; and Professor Peterson\, who\, fresh from the campaign trail in the US\, can speak first-hand about public debate in action.’  \nThe event will be hosted on Zoom\, and there will be time for questions afterwards. \nPlease follow this link to reserve your ticket: https://why_do_we_debate.eventbrite.co.uk

SUMMARY:Literary event: Hugo Vickers talk on 'The Life of Gladys Deacon\, Duchess of Marlborough'
DESCRIPTION:The English-Speaking Union invites you to a reception at Dartmouth House followed by a talk by Hugo Vickers who will discuss his book The Sphinx: The Life of Gladys Deacon – Duchess of Marlborough \nAbout the book: \nOne of the most beautiful and brilliant women of her time\, Gladys Deacon dazzled and puzzled the glittering social circles in which she moved. Born in Paris to American parents in 1881\, Gladys emerged from a traumatic childhood – her father having shot her mother’s lover dead when Gladys was only eleven – to captivate and inspire some of the greatest literary and artistic names of the Belle Epoque. Marcel Proust wrote of her\, ‘I never saw a girl with such beauty\, such magnificent intelligence\, such goodness and charm.’ \nGladys was to spend her last years in the psycho-geriatric ward of a mental hospital\, where she was discovered by a young Hugo Vickers. Forty years on\, Vickers has now completely rewritten and revised his original biography\, updating it with previously unavailable material and drawing on his own personal research all over Europe and America. He once asked Gladys\, ‘Where is Gladys Deacon?’ She answered him slowly\, ‘Gladys Deacon? . . . She never existed.’ \nThe Sphinx is a fascinating portrait of this elusive but brilliant woman who was at the centre of a now bygone era of wealth and privilege – and a tribute to one of the brightest stars of her age. \nAbout the author: \nHugo Vickers is a writer\, lecturer and broadcaster\, and an acknowledged expert on the British Royal Family. He has written biographies of the Queen Mother\, Gladys\, Duchess of Marlborough\, Cecil Beaton\, Vivien Leigh\, Princess Andrew of Greece and the Duchess of Windsor. The Sphinx has been a forty-year journey for him since his first meeting with Gladys Deacon in 1975. \nReception from 6.30pm the talk will start at 7.00pm sharp

SUMMARY:London Region: Book talk 'Churchill’s Abandoned Prisoners' by author Rupert Wieloch
DESCRIPTION:The English-Speaking Union London branch invites you to a Talk by Rupert Wieloch on his latest book\, Churchill’s Abandoned Prisoners. \nDrinks will be served from 6.30pm\, the talk will start at 7.00pm sharp \nOne hundred years ago a group of fifteen British soldiers serving with the British Mission to Siberia were captured by the Red Army on Russian Christmas Eve (6th January). They were held in a lice-infested room at Krasnoyarsk for three months\, whilst Prime Minister Lloyd George’s representative signed a prisoner exchange treaty with Lenin’s envoy in Copenhagen. One of the prisoners was a young Captain Brian Horrocks (played by Edward Fox in the film A Bridge Too Far)\, who succumbed to epidemic typhus\, but was saved by his best friend who nursed him through the illness. In March\, the prisoners were escorted to Irkutsk where a British train arrived to pick them up\, but the Bolshevik authorities only allowed the women and children to leave and sent the sespondent soldiers 3\,500 miles to hateful prisons in Moscow. \nIn his talk at the English-Speaking Union\, Rupert Wieloch will describe how the soldiers maintained moral and coped with their fearsome ordeal and explain what the War Secretary\, Winston Churchill\, did to secure their protracted release. Rupert was educated at Winston Churchill’s alma mater and completed a Fellowship in International Relations at Pembroke College\, Cambridge during a 35 year career in the British Army. His extensive research includes a treasure-trove of unpublished documents and archives from Philadelphia\, London\, St Petersburg and Oxford. \nAfter the talk Rupert available to sign copies of his latest book\, which will be on sale. \nBookings can be made through Eventbrite: https://esuchurchilltalk.eventbrite.co.uk or by sending a cheque to Events\, English-Speaking Union\, 37 Charles Street\, London W1J 5ED.
