THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER The second bestselling book from 'the most joyous and brain-enhancing podcast out there' (The Times) - also including puzzles and a quiz! Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook bring you an alphabetical miscellany, taking on some of history's best and most bizarre moments. Charge forth against the traitors of the American Revolution, journey through Baghdad to discover the origins of the Arabian Nights and head to Sicily to witness the first face-off between Carthage and Rome. Along the way you'll find the answers to questions like: - Was Henry V's great-grandfather, Edward III, the biggest lad in British history? - Which Mitford sister tried to seduce her girlish crush, Adolf Hitler? - Who are history's top 10 monkeys? - Why did the Romans inspire so much American science fiction? Dust off your tricorne hat, grab your lasso and get ready for a rollicking rollercoaster ride through the past . . . 'All history podcasts have to be measured against The Rest is History. To listen to anyone else attempt to tell historical stories in audio form is to realise just how good Dominic Sandbrook and Tom Holland are' James Marriott, The Times 'Holland and Sandbrook have reached a peak of listenability at which you'd happily hear them chortle through a history of paperclips or phonebooks' Jasper Rees, Telegraph 'A global sensation . . . Dives into the past with raucous good cheer' Wall Street Journal
