NHSA is delighted and honoured to welcome Niall Barr as our speaker for this event in which we study the First Battle of El Alamein.  Professor of Military History at King’s College, London and Dean of Academic Studies of the Defence Studies Department, Niall Barr has published extensively on the Second World War and is a leading expert on the Western Desert campaign and on relations between the western allies during the conflict. His Pendulum of War: The Three battles of El Alamein is one of the most detailed and incisive studies of the turning point in North Africa. Educated at the University of St Andrews, he has previously taught at St Andrews and the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. He joined the Staff College in 2000, where he teaches on a wide range of military courses, including the Higher Command and Staff Course. The talk will be held at 9.15 am on Saturday 1 April 2023 at 24 Kingfisher Court, Newbury RG14 5SJ and will be accompanied by an exhibition and simulation as with all other NHSA events.
