Sir Nick Young's memoir is a fascinating and candid account of his thirteen successful years as chief executive of the British Red Cross (2001-2014). During this critical period he led the organisation's response to a financial crisis, the Iraq War, the Asian Tsunami, the London bombings, a kidnapping, the fighting in Syria, media challenges, and numerous earthquakes, floods and other disasters. Nick shares the strains and the moments of personal fulfilment, relief and humour, as he played a key role in the humanitarian response to some of the 21st Century's most dramatic and dangerous events.

Nick will be in conversation with Peter Barron, Editor of the Northern Echo for 40 years and Deputy Lieutenant of County Durham
