The CapX Podcast: Alex Deane on Lessons from History

By

Most us know about Henry VIII, Napoleon and Churchill, but what about history’s unheralded heroes?

For the latest CapX podcast we welcomed political commentator, former Tory adviser and self-declared amateur historian Alex Deane, whose new book Lessons from History shines a light on the less-known characters who have helped shape our world.
