Broadcasters (and husband and wife) Peter Snow and Ann MacMillan present a fascinating account of spies, escapes and uplifting acts of humanity spanning nearly three centuries. From John Bulkeley’s terrifying 1741 journey along the coast of Chile to Ahmed Terkawi’s heart-stopping 2016 escape from Syria, via Second World War spy Krystyna Skarbek and many more, War Stories tells vivid tales of love, bravery, suffering and terror.
Chaired by Clare Mulley, festival patron and author of The Women Who Flew for Hitler
