SABOTAGE! Book Event with Chris Wroblewski

The Gibraltar Heritage Trust is proud to host a commemorative event marking the anniversary of Polish General Sikorski on Saturday 4th July 2026 at 10:30am. Members of the Trust and the public are invited to Leisure Cinemas for a special presentation and book signing celebrating the publication of Sabotage! An In-Depth Investigation of the 1943 Liberator Crash that Killed Polish General Sikorski.

Garth Barnard and Chris Wroblewski’s work examines the crash of the B-24 Liberator aircraft in Gibraltar on the 4th July 1943. The event remains of the most enduring wartime controversies and Sabotage! brings a fresh analysis, discoveries and an investigative insight to a story that continues to fascinate historians and the public alike. 

The event will feature a live appearance by Chris Wroblewski, one of the book’s co-authors, who will deliver a talk exploring the research behind the book’s publication and the debates and theories surrounding the crash and the investigative challenges of revisiting a case that has been clouded by secrecy for more than eighty years.  Attendees will also be invited to take part in an open Q&A session, offering the opportunity to engage directly with the Mr Wroblewski. This promises lively discussion and thoughtful debate. The event will conclude with a book signing, where attendees can have their copies of Sabotage! personally signed. The book is currently available to purchase from our Trust shop at The Main Guard, 13 John Mackintosh Square. Further copies will be available at the event on the day.

Hosting the event on the anniversary of General Sikorski’s death serves not only as a literary gathering but also as a moment of remembrance, which the Gibraltar Heritage Trust is committed to paying homage to, whilst also preserving and exploring Gibraltar’s central role in events during WWII.
