Bristol History Podcast // Benjamin Dickson in Conversation

This week I met with Bristol-based author and artist Benjamin Dickson to discuss his graphic novel ‘A New Jerusalem’ – a moving and stark tale of a family struggling to come to terms with life following the end of the Second World War. We discussed (among other things) the bombing of Bristol during the war, post-traumatic stress disorder and the birth of the welfare state in 1945.
