Synopsis:

How do you make something out of nothing?

Up your game with this masterclass in creative thinking.

From the First World War sailor who survived being sunk three times in one day to the one-time 'merchant of death' who made his name a byword for peace, and the gypsy who lost two fingers and then reinvented jazz.
