The Rest is History

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 . . .

– What was the most disastrous party in history?
– How did a hair appointment almost blow Churchill’s cover?
– Why did the Nazis believe they were descended from the people of Atlantis?
– What made Alfred the Great so great?

From a British political leader who allegedly plotted to feed his lover to alligators, to a Brazilian emperor whose subjects mistook him for a banana, there is nothing too big or too small for Tom and Dominic to unpick.
