The Rest Is History: From Ancient Rome to Ronald Reagan―Histor

Description: The entertaining companion to the massively popular history podcast, tackling everything from Alexander the Great to Agatha Christie, the Wars of the Roses to Watergate, with a unique blend of wit, wisdom, and good old-fashioned banter Since its launch in November 2022, The Rest is History podcast has brilliantly distilled major moments in human history, covering everything from the Trojan War to a historical ranking of the greatest dogs. Now, this official tie-in book brings the chart-topping, #1 History podcast's charms to the page, offering readers a fresh, wide-ranging tour of humanity's essential, and essentially weird, moments. With the podcast's trademark wit and insight, The Rest is History: From Ancient Rome to Modern China--History's Most Curious Questions, Answered takes 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? The Rest is History, complete with an introduction from podcast hosts Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook, cleverly demonstrates that the past--from modern to ancient and every time in between--is both closer to us than we might realize and bafflingly strange, all at once. 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...
