"Alex Deane is a former Conservative Party [England] aide and a non-practising barrister. He is a regular commentator on political events on UK and international news channels. A partner in a global business consultancy, he was for some time a local councillor, until he received some extremely robust advice from his electorate. In 'Lessons from History,' Alex Deane takes us on 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 as 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." --Jacket.
