A third world war has never looked more likely. Iain’s new book The Generals profiles 64 historical and contemporary military leaders from the UK, the USA and around the world. He will be joined on a panel by three British military leaders – General Lord Richard Dannatt, former head of the British Army, General Sir Richard Barrons, Commander, Joint Forces Command and Major General Tim Cross, Commanding Officer, Theatre Troops, Iraq. Also on the panel is Deborah Haynes, Security & Defence Editor for Sky News, and the creator of The War Game podcast series, in which politicians and military figures ‘wargame’ an attack from Russia. The panel will discuss the art of ‘generalship’ in modern warfare, learning the lessons of history and they will then talk about the current military threats to the UK and how to deal with them.
