From Alexander the Great to Tolkien, from the Wars of the Roses to Watergate, the beloved historians and creators of the world-famous podcast The Rest Is History tackle the most unpredictable questions and guide us through the strangest and most fascinating pages of history.
Did the Trojan War really happen? What was the most disastrous party in history? Was President Nixon more like Caligula or Claudius? How did a haircut appointment almost reveal Churchill’s plans? And why did the Nazis believe they were descended from Atlantis?
With boundless humour, disarming curiosity and deep historical knowledge, incredible incidents and bizarre details unfold, illuminating the past in a completely different way. Because history isn’t just wars, kings and empires—it’s also all those astonishing events we never imagined had happened.
