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.
