It will appeal to anybody seeking to expand their historical knowledge, with an approachable and accessible style that will take you on an eye-opening and jaw-dropping journey.

The History Lessons invites readers to reclaim our history education. It is for curious minds keen to look beyond the usual narratives and celebrate the stories and people that may be less familiar - but no less remarkable or fascinating.

Tried to listen to end as great idea to highlight names in history not usually mentioned. Very passionate and see why popular but is so anti British and just takes every opportunity to shame. Better to build together.
