David Olusoga: History's Missing Chapters

His books will be available on the evening and a book signing will commence after the talk.

After recently interviewing live the former US President Barack Obama and being announced as a Celebrity Traitor, David is ready to bring his eloquence and skill to EP again in a brand-new talk for 2025. He examines some of history’s missing chapters to uncover how and why some events and some people are remembered and others forgotten.

Taking examples from the world wars, the Industrial revolution and other pivotal moments in global history David uncovers history’s missing persons.

David is the author or co-author of eight books including Black & British: A Forgotten History (awarded both the Longman-History Today Trustees Award and the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize): The World’s War, Black & British A Short Essential History: The Kaiser’s Holocaust: Germany’s Forgotten Genocide and the Colonial Roots of Nazism.
