Make room Herodotus, stand down Bede, pipe down Pepys . . .
There’s a new history book in town. Pre-order your copy now. From
the chart-topping podcast The Rest is History, a whistle-stop tour
through the past – from Alexander the Great to Tolkein, the Wars
of the Roses to Watergate. The nation’s favourite historians Tom
Holland and Dominic Sandbrook take on the most curious moments in
history, answering the questions we didn’t even think to ask: -
Did the Trojan War actually happen? - What was the most disastrous
party in history? - Was Richard Nixon more like Caligula or
Claudius? - How did a hair appointment almost blow Churchill’s
cover? - Why did the Nazis believe they were descended from
Atlantis? Whether it is sending historical figures to Casa Amor in
a series of Love Island, ranking history’s most famous eunuchs
and pigeons (including Winky, the unsung hero of the Second World
War), or debating the meaning of greatness, there is nothing too
big or too small for Tom and Dominic to unpick. So run your
Egyptian milk bath, strap up your best Spartan sandals, and prepare
for a journey down the highways and byways of the human past. . .
