Windsor Festival Spring Programme – Spies
Bestselling historians Jimmy Burns and Alex Von Tunzelmann talk about espionage during WWII and the Cold War.
Jimmy Burns is the author of Papa Spy, the highly acclaimed biography of Jimmy’s father, Tom Burns, who served as an intelligence officer in Madrid during WWII.
Alex Von Tunzelmann’s latest book, Red Heat: Conspiracy, Murder, and the Cold War in the Caribbean, discusses the
story of the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crises from the perspectives of Kennedy, Castro and the CIA.
As well as talking about their latest books the authors will discuss how the character and culture of spies and the intelligence trade has remained the same – and altered – over the years. So too the authors will be free to take questions.
