<b>*NOW WITH A FUN PUB QUIZ* | </b><b>Make room Herodotus, stand down Bede, pipe down Pepys </b>- <b>t</b><b>here's a new history book in town.</b> From the chart-topping podcast <i>The Rest is History</i>, a whistle-stop tour through the past - from Alexander the Great to Tolkien, 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: <b>- 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?</b> Whether it is sending historical figures to Casa Amor in a series of Love Island, ranking history's most famous eunuchs and pigeons (including Winkie, 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. . .

<p><b>THE INSTANT <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i> BESTSELLER</b><br/><br/><b>'Holland, who co-hosts the podcast The Rest Is History, is at his best when having fun with Rome's bloody history' <i>The Times </i></b><br/><br/><b>'A book for lovers of traditional, grand sweep narrative history' <i>Sunday Times</i></b><br/><b><br/>The definitive history of Rome's golden age - antiquity's ultimate superpower at the pinnacle of its greatness</b><br/><br/>The Pax Romana has long been revered as a golden age. At its peak, the Roman Empire stretched from Scotland to Arabia, and contained perhaps a quarter of humanity. It was the wealthiest and most formidable state the world had yet seen.<br/><br/>Beginning in 69AD, a year that saw four Caesars in succession rule the empire, and ending some seven decades later with the death of Hadrian, <i>Pax </i>presents a dazzling history of Rome at the height of its power. From the gilded capital to realms beyond the frontier, historian Tom Holland portrays the Roman Empire in all its predatory glory. Vivid scene follows vivid scene: the destruction of Jerusalem and Pompeii, the building of the Colosseum and Hadrian's Wall, the conquests of Trajan. Vividly sketching the lives of Romans both ordinary and spectacular, from slaves to emperors, Holland demonstrates how Roman peace was the fruit of unprecedented military violence.<br/><br/>A stunning portrait of Rome's glory days, this is the epic history of the pax Romana.</p>

Bismarck's War Bok
<p><b>'Superb on the human consequences of war, ravishing in its evocations of wartime life' <i>The Times</i></b><br/><br/><b>'Compassionate and thought-provoking history' <i>Daily Telegraph</i></b><br/><br/>Less than a month after it marched into France in summer 1870, the Prussian army had devastated its opponents, captured Napoleon III and wrecked all assumptions about Europe's pecking order. Other countries looked on in helpless amazement. Pushing aside further French resistance, a new German Empire was proclaimed (as a deliberate humiliation) in the Palace of Versailles, leaving the French to face civil war in Paris, reparations and the loss of Alsace and Lorraine.<br/><br/><i>Bismarck's War </i>tells the story of one of the most shocking reversals of fortune in modern European history. The culmination of a globally violent decade, the Franco-Prussian War was deliberately engineered by Bismarck, both to destroy French power and to unite Germany. It could not have worked better, but it also had lurking inside it the poisonous seeds of all the disasters that would ravage the twentieth century.<br/><br/>Drawing on a remarkable variety of sources, Chrastil's book explores the military, technological, political and social events of the war, its human cost and the way that the sheer ferocity of war, however successful, has profound consequences for both victors and victims.</p>

A Travel Guide To The Middle Ages Bok
<p><b>'Rich and wonderful . . . This is the world as you've never seen it before' Ian Mortimer</b><br/><br/><b>'A joyful, erudite book . . . A global Middle Ages for our times' Jerry Brotton</b><br/>_____________________<br/><br/>From the bustling bazaars of Tabriz, to the mysterious island of Caldihe, where sheep were said to grow on trees, Anthony Bale brings history alive in <i>A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages</i>, inviting the reader to travel across a medieval world punctuated with miraculous wonders and long-lost landmarks. Journeying alongside scholars, spies and saints, from western Europe to the Far East, the Antipodes, and the ends of the world, this is no ordinary travel guide, containing everything from profane pilgrim badges, Venetian laxatives and flying coffins to encounters with bandits and trysts with princesses.<br/><br/>Using previously untranslated contemporary accounts from as far and wide as Turkey, Iceland, Armenia, north Africa, and Russia, <i>A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages </i>is a living atlas that blurs the distinction between real and imagined places. It offers the reader a vivid and unforgettable insight into how medieval people understood their world - a world of stories, desire and fantasies, of cherished pasts and longed-for futures.<br/>_____________________<br/><br/><b>'Masterful, panoramic, beautifully written and vividly imagined . . . a book to be savoured' Dr Helen Castor, author of <i>Blood and Roses</i></b><br/><br/><b>'An enthralling journey into the past and across the world . . . this book takes us to barely imaginable places - but the most remarkable thing we find may be ourselves' Seb Falk, author of <i>The Light Ages</i></b></p>

The Forgers Bok
<p><b>**A <i>Telegraph</i> Best History Book 2023 and<i> Spectator</i> Book of the Year**<br/><br/>The inspirational story of the ordinary people who forged the documents that saved thousands of Jewish lives in World War Two.</b><br/><br/><b>'Powerful ... gripping ... inspiring'</b> JONATHAN DIMBLEBY<br/><br/>Between 1940 and 1943, a small group of Polish diplomats and Jewish activists in Switzerland engaged in a wholly remarkable - and until now, almost completely unknown - humanitarian operation. Under the leadership of the Polish Ambassador, Aleksander Lados, they undertook a systematic programme of forging identity documents for Latin American countries, which were then smuggled into German-occupied Europe to save the lives of thousands of Jews facing extermination in the Holocaust.<br/><br/>The Lados operation was one of the largest rescue missions of the entire war, and The Forgers tells this extraordinary story for the first time. We follow the desperate bids of Jews to obtain these life-saving documents, and their painful uncertainty over whether they will be granted protection from the Nazis' murderous fury. And we witness the quiet heroism of those who decided to act in an attempt to save thousands of lives.<br/><br/><b>'Fascinating'</b> <i>THE TIMES</i><br/><b>'Remarkable'</b> <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i><br/><b>'As gripping as it is moving' </b>JULIA BOYD<br/><b>'An astonishing book</b>' KATJA HOYER</p>
