THINGS WE FORGOT TO REMEMBER: A BBC RADIO 4 HISTORY SERIES
By Michael Portillo
Synopsis
In this series, broadcaster and former politician Michael Portillo revisits some of history's best-known moments, rediscovering forgotten events that augment our understanding and shift our perspective. Reappraising milestones such as the Spanish Armada, the French Revolution, the First World War and the Great Depression, he probes our selective amnesia, asking what we have mythologised, and what we've ignored. Not revisionist, but restorative, this fascinating series challenges the orthodox view of history without glossing over its complexities, presenting a surprising, thought-provoking re-evaluation of our past and reminding us that the events we choose to remember are not always those that are the most significant.
