Balliol painting in new book
The book explains in vivid and lively detail the contribution made to the war effort by Oxford’s academics and medical and military experts. It also intimately describes the ironically peaceful atmosphere of the city and the day to day workings of ordinary people’s lives. The result is a fascinating in-depth portrayal of Oxford at war.
The author Ashley Jackson is Professor of Imperial and Military History at KIng's College London and a Visiting Fellow of Kellogg College Oxford.
