Author Talk

BBC Celebrity Traitors faithful finalist, and BAFTA award-winning producer, writer, historian, Professor David Olusoga will be presenting his new history talk at St George's. We are delighted to host a book stall and signing at the event; full details and tickets on the St George's website. We look forward to seeing you there. 

David is the author or co-author of eight books including Black & British: A Forgotten History, The World’s War, Black & British A Short Essential History, The Kaiser’s Holocaust: Germany’s Forgotten Genocide and the Colonial Roots of Nazism.

Recently also seen in BBC2's Empire documentaries, David continues to examine history in depth. Often bringing to light uncomfortable subjects and little-known facts. He uncovers how and why some events and some people are remembered and others forgotten. Taking examples from wars across the world, the British industrial revolution, and other pivotal moments in global history, he uncovers so much that has remained hidden and untaught.

David also writes and presents the long-running BBC history series A House Through Time. Presently he is filming a new series, due for broadcast in April 2026.

Professor of Public History at the University of Manchester, and a columnist for The Observer, David also writes for The Guardian, The New Statesman, The Voice and BBC History Magazine.
A recipient of both the British Academy’s President’s Medal and the Norton Medlicott Medal For Services to History, David is a Fellow of the British Academy, The Royal Society of Literature, The Royal Society of Arts and the Royal Historical Society.
