Adam Hochschild delivering his lecture

Acclaimed writer and journalist Adam Hochschild delivered a well received lecture hosted by the TUC Library on Friday 24th October. The lecture, to publicise Adam’s new book “To End All Wars: How the First World War Divided Britain“, discussed the various manifestations of opposition to the First World War. The lecture was a great success, proving well attended and provoking some interesting discussion. The TUC Library would like to thank Adam and all those who attended.

Following the lecture Adam received a tour round the TUC Library, which holds a unique collection of material relating to trade union, women, labour and working class perspectives on the First Would War.
