About this title

About the Author

Stephen Liddell was born in Carlisle, United Kingdom in 1973 and currently lives just outside London.  

 

2015 has seen Stephen release the short horror story The Silence Fell and the light-hearted Horrible History-esque 101 Most Horrible Tortures in History.

As a qualified and still reasonably young historian, Stephen recently wrote the acclaimed Lest We Forget - A Concise Companion to the First World War published by Endeavour Press of London as well as a related WW1 Photoguide to the Western Front entitled In the Footsteps of Heroes.

He is the author of the 'The Timeless Trilogy' & the humorous travelogue , 'Planes, Trains and Sinking Boats' and the Kindle 3-section Amazon #1 ranked 'How to Get Rich from Airbnb' which he wrote after successfully running one of the top Airbnb listings in the U.K. 

Stephen has also written for prestigious environment publications such as Terra Green in India and The Huffington Post in the U.K and U.S.A. as well as regular updates to his blog. He is currently working on a vigilante themed novel and Star Trek guide.

At the of 39 Stephen decided to pursue his dreams and left the corporate world to concentrate on writing. Stephen can also be found giving private guided tours around the historic and cultural sights of London and southern England with his new start-up company Ye Olde England Tours.

The last year has seen Stephen expand his career into broadcast media with appearances on BBC radio and Bloomberg Television with an option for a short story to be filmed by Channel 4 Television.

From the Back Cover

I have been visiting the WW1 battlefields in Europe and Middle East for over 20 years now and have both BA Hons and Masters Degrees in History.

In 2014 I wrote the acclaimed Lest We Forget - A Concise History of the First World War published by Endeavour Press of London which led to the publication of In The Footsteps of Heroes.

Lest We Forget an approachable and easy to read guide to WW1. Rather than tackle this mammoth event in a dry day by day format favoured by so many larger books, instead the war is broken down into manageable topics. Some of these are very well known whilst others contain details rarely mentioned in even those old, dry history books. As such, Lest We Forget is suitable for those both wanting an introduction to WW1 and those interested in a broader and more depth perspective too.

Stephen Liddell runs and guides Ye Olde England Tours which offers private and personal tours of the WW1 Western Front in France and Belgium as well as locations in and around London and England. For those who can't ever make it to Europe, I hope In The Footsteps of Heroes will be of interest.
