Yesterday evening a number of CWC members and a large crowd of Dan Snow fans enjoyed a glass or two of champagne at Canada House and joined our High Commissioner Jim Wright in the Grand Salon to hear Dan talk about his new book, 'Death or Victory: The Battle of Quebec and the Birth of Empire'.
Dan holds joint British/Canadian citizenship and is familiar to many of us in the UK for bringing history alive through a number of wonderful television series. His youthful energy and passion for history have always been evident in his television work and based on some of the fascinating stories Dan shared with us last night this book about the epic battle of Quebec in 1759 and how it forever altered the course of North American history promises to be an exciting read.
Watch what Dan has to say about his book on Youtube!
Dan is the son of Canadian Ann MacMillan (London Bureau Chief of the CBC) and veteran BBC television journalist Peter Snow. Margaret MacMillan, a celebrated Canadian historian, is Dan's aunt. Dan is the great-great-grandson of British Prime Minister David Lloyd George.
