The London Press Club and the Frontline Club are proud to present a talk from award-winning writer and historian William Dalrymple.
Now based in Delhi, Dalrymple joins us for a special event to discuss his most recent, acclaimed book Return of a King: The Battle for Afghanistan, 1839-42, the definitive analysis of the First Anglo-Afghan War. He will discuss parallels with current events in both Afghanistan and the UK, before taking questions from the audience.
A recipient of the Wolfson Prize, a Foreign Press Association Media Award and five honorary doctorates, Dalrymple is also a founder and co-director of the Jaipur Literature Festival. His previous books include The Last Mughal: The Fall of a Dynasty, Delhi, 1857 and Nine Lives: In Search of the Sacred in Modern India.
The event is the latest in a series of debates, talks and Q&As from the London Press Club, with previous speakers including Alan Rusbridger, Sarah Sands, David Dinsmore and India Knight. For more information visit londonpressclub.co.uk.
