Our guest on this week's #SWYSI is Alex Deane, a writer, consultant and political commentator who appears regularly on national and international news media. A former Conservative Party aide, Alex is a founding director of Big Brother Watch and a committee member of The Freedom Association.
He joins Peter Whittle on the "So What You're Saying Is..." sofa to discuss his new book "Lessons from History: Hidden Heroes & Villains from the Past and what We Can Learn from Them".
Alex's book is available here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lessons-Hist...
REVIEW:
“It’s never too late to establish the reputation of a hero. This remarkable book reminds us of the giants who never stepped from the shadows and the events which soundlessly shaped history. These are the people and places we forgot to remember, until Alex Deane revivified them. With a light touch, we are introduced to the quiet men, the natural leaders, the reluctant and accidental heroes whose song is now, finally, being sung.”
Colin Brazier, journalist and presenter, GB News
