Summary:
"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.
