Lessons from History: Hidden Heroes and Villains of the Past, and What We Can Learn from Them - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
“Provocative, memorable and humorous – Deane never fails to entertain.” - Kwasi Kwarteng MP
History is full to the brim with untold tales of heroics and villainy, gruesome battles, hilarious happenings and downright bizarre coincidences. Meet the war veteran who lost an eye and amputated his own fingers. Discover the original Die Hards, whose bravery would put even Bruce Willis to shame. Just who stole the still-missing Irish crown jewels and how did Adeline, Countess of Cardigan, scandalise society so completely?
In Lessons from History, Alex Deane takes us on an uproarious romp through the tales you didn’t hear at school. With stories ranging from the little-known characters who played their vital parts in the world’s most famous wars to the remarkable adventures of figures across the centuries, to events so extraordinary as to be almost – almost – unbelievable, this book proves that fact is almost always wilder than fiction. Bringing these stories joyfully and often poignantly back to life, Deane finally shines a light on the tales lost to history, and on what we might learn from them today.
