Village Hall Talks - Wootton By Woodstock, Oxfordshire

The Laurence Rees Talk
Over a hundred people packed into the village hall for the talk on November 7 about World War II by Laurence Rees, the award-winning BBC history documentary producer, who transfixed everybody with his delivery, combining charm and wit with great insight into the relationship between Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin. His talk - the second in our new series - was greeted rapturously and the ensuing Question and Answer session prompted some lively debate and we all realised we were in the company of a master.
