Dan Snow's History Hit
Clean History
In this recording from our live show earlier this year, Dan discusses the greatest naval officer who ever lived - the swashbuckling sailor and political firebrand Thomas Cochrane, who lived one of the most extraordinary lives of the nineteenth century.
From daring naval raids during the Napoleonic Wars to scandal, exile and revolutionary adventures across South America, we explore the brilliance, controversy and restless ambition of the “Sea Wolf.”
Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.
