The theme of the Conference is “New Thinking on the Second World War”. Archival research is beginning to challenge many of the traditional interpretations and the organizers would like to receive proposals for papers which take a fresh view of many aspects of the war. Proposals for papers from current PhD students are particularly welcome. It is intended that a number of papers will review the established reputations of a number of major commanders and there will be four Workshop sessions, dealing with the following topics:
Professor Gary Sheffield of the University of Birmingham will give a Keynote Address on “The British Army in the Second World War; Past, Present & Future”.
Accommodation will be available on the University of Birmingham Campus from Thursday 23rd July until the end of the Conference. A significant reduction of the Conference Fee will be offered to the chosen speakers.
