The Bomber Mafia: A Story set in War

Hay Festival 2021, Saturday 29 May 2021

Bestselling author, journalist and podcast host Malcolm Gladwell is joined by British documentary maker Vanessa Engle to talk about his latest book, The Bomber Mafia: A Story Set in War – a riveting tale of how technology and best intentions collide in the heat of war, and a parable for the age of technological disruption.

Malcolm Gladwell is the author of six international bestsellers – The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, David and Goliath and Talking to Strangers. He is the host of the hit podcast Revisionist History – where he first explored the story of the ‘Bomber Mafia’ – co-founder of Pushkin Industries and a staff writer at The New Yorker.
