Heroes have flaws, but their stories stir the soul. In 'Gimson's Heroes', bestselling author Andrew Gimson traces the lives of fifty astonishing individuals who had the courage to defy conventional wisdom. From Horatio Nelson disobeying orders to Lord Byron scandalising polite society; Grace Darling rowing through a deadly storm to Florence Nightingale teaching the British how to nurse - these icons are no mere monuments of history, but living, breathing people of daring and defiance. These are stories of resolve and sacrifice.
