ABILENE - The relationship between Winston Churchill and President Dwight D. Eisenhower will be the focus of the next online Lunch & Learn program offered by the Eisenhower Presidential Library.
The program is scheduled for noon Thursday and will feature Allen Packwood from the Churchill Archives Centre.
Register in advance and join the program via Zoom. Registration details are available at eisenhowerlibrary.gov.
Packwood will discuss the relationship between Churchill and Eisenhower. He will use documents from the Churchill Archives to show how their mutual admiration was forged by shared experience during World War II. This bond was later tested by different national priorities during the Cold War.
Packwood is a Fellow of Churchill College at the University of Cambridge, Director of the Churchill Archives Centre, and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to archives and scholarship in the 2016 Queen’s Birthday Honours. His book, How Churchill Waged War, was published by Pen & Sword in 2018.
The 2022 Lunch & Learn series is made possible courtesy of the Eisenhower Foundation with generous support from the Jeffcoat Memorial Foundation.
