After reading history at Oxford University, Kate wrote for local and national newspapers before switching to television where she worked for one of Britain’s leading independent documentary makers. Here she produced critically acclaimed 20th Century history programmes about subjects ranging from Churchill’s ‘war’ with his generals, the death of Diana and the Abdication Crisis to films about the Falklands conflict, the Miners’ Strike and Live Aid for Channel 4, Channel 5 and the BBC. This is her first book.
