Fake Heroes: Wanstead Book Festival presents Otto English

From Captain Scott to JFK, from Mother Teresa to Che Guevara, Otto English’s Fake Heroes debunks conventional wisdom about some of history’s biggest names, bringint to light some of the darker truths they would rather have kept buried, while also celebrating unsung heroes. Otto English, aka journalist Andrew Scott, has become one of the country’s most outspoken opponents of humbug on social media where he always rises to the challenge. For Wanstead Book Festival he will be in conversation with Wanstead’s own Victor Adebowale, whose pre-election appearance on BBC Question Time made him a national hero.
