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.

Customer Reviews
Excellent work and commitment to the truth
This is a fantastic podcast for all students of history. The research is thorough and the questions are tough. Please continue doing this work!
Nice try my British friends, but…
Harris, Haig, and Cromwell were all butchers.
Sometimes a society needs such men in times of war, but it doesn’t obviate the fact that they were butchers, every one.
Right wing tabloid
Nothing but propaganda
