    Douglas Haig: Lion or donkey?

    When Field Marshall Douglas Haig died in 1928, many thousands came out to mourn the death of a great hero of the First World War. Yet today, the overwhelming view of the general is one of a mass murderer: A donkey who led millions of lions to their pointless deaths in the trenches for mere feet of land. To discuss Haig’s life and controversies Steven Edginton is joined by the military historian Nick Lloyd.

    Robert Baden-Powell: Scouting legend or fascist?

    By all accounts, Robert Baden-Powell was an extraordinary man. He lived many lives; from his time as a spy to the Victorian hero of the Boer War, and finally as the founder of the international Scouts movement. However, his detractors accuse him of having Nazi sympathies, and of committing terrible crimes in Colonial Africa. To discover the truth about Baden-Powell Steven Edginton interviews Scouting historian Tony Ransley in the latest episode of History Defended.

    Lord Nelson: Britain's greatest admiral or white supremacist?

    Horatio Nelson, perhaps Britain’s greatest naval commander, ensured his country was secure from French invasion, and his death immortalised his name forever in British national identity. Yet today there are some who claim Nelson was no hero at all. In fact, they demand his statue is pulled down, his name be removed from street signs and to see him as an imperialist who supported the slave trade. In the latest series of History Defended, Professor Andrew Lambert of King’s College London takes on the attacks on Lord Nelson. Steven Edginton sits down with Lambert to discuss the life and controversies of the naval hero of the Napoleonic wars.

    Winston Churchill: Hero or villain?

    To many, Winston Churchill is the man who saved not only Britain, but the world from Nazi tyranny. But to some, Churchill represents the evils of the British Empire: racism, colonisation and violence. The wartime prime minister’s statue in Parliament Square was even tarred with the words “racist” after the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020. So, hero or villain? Steven Edginton is joined by Churchill’s biographer, Andrew Roberts to decide.
