Speaking Engagements

History. Properly Delivered.

Andrew White presenting a talk to the RAF Association

Whether it’s a talk, podcast, corporate event or professional gathering, I’d be delighted to contribute.

Tell me the occasion, your audience, and the topic you have in mind — I’ll bring the stories, the insight, and a voice that brings history vividly to life.

'Huge thanks to military author Andrew White for a gripping, insightful and emotional journey through his research. If you get the chance to see Andrew talk, it is highly recommended'.

Book an Engaging, Informed and Memorable Talk

Are you organising a history society lecture, a military museum event, an organisation talk, or corporate entertainment? I offer talks that make people sit up, lean in and walk away talking about what they’ve just heard.

With 26 years in the Royal Air Force and decades of battlefield guiding and research behind me, I bring real-world experience and historical depth to every presentation I give—plus just enough gallows humour to keep things lively.

From airmen and trench warfare to escape attempts, medals, leadership and human resilience under fire, I tailor each talk to your audience, your venue and your event.
