An Evening with Alec Ryrie - Hampstead

Professor of the History of Christianity at Durham University and Fellow of the British Academy Alec Ryrie comes to the bookshop to discuss his latest book, The Age of Hitler and How We Will Survive It, which examines the costs of our Nazi obsession and questions what will come as our anti-Nazi moral consensus frays.We live in an age where Hitler and the Nazis dominate our cultural imagination, shaping values once defined by religion. In this book historian Alec Ryrie explores why society remains captivated by this struggle, from history and fiction to modern myths such as Star Wars and Harry Potter.With a fresh take on modern history and pop culture, The Age of Hitler offers a thought-provoking look at the culture wars and our shifting political crises, challenging assumptions on both sides and asking what a new moral vision might look like.
