I'm currently working my way through:
History's Secret Heroes. Helena Bonham Carter talking to and about WWII stories-lots about powerful women I have never heard of.
Real Survival Stories
Short History Of
The Story (Times current affairs)
All in the Mind
Any others you'd recommend?
I like history, mental health, current affairs and a bit of true crime-yet to find one that's captured my attention or isn't really irritating!
