Lee West: Undercover in a French Migrant Camp and Making the Dangerous Channel Crossing in a Small Boat | British Thought Leaders

Live Chat

NTD’s Lee Hall sits down with ex-Royal Marines Commando and bestselling author Lee West.

Lee talks about going undercover in a French migrant camp. He spent a week among migrants planning to illegally cross the Channel to England, before crossing one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes himself in a small boat.

Lee talks about living homeless in research for his book, what life was like as a highly-trained solider in Iraq and Afghanistan, and why leaving the military just before the COVID lockdowns was one of the most difficult experiences of his life.
