Bloomsbury presents The Rest is History by The Rest is History, read by Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook.

'An idiosyncratic ride through history' Independent
'Holland and Sandbrook have pretty much reinvented popular history for the modern age' The Times

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.©2023 Goalhanger Podcasts Ltd 20th Century Death & Dying Europe Great Britain Modern Politics & Activism Presidents & Heads of State Sociology Komik Savaş Esprili Askeri Antik Yunan Winston Churchill Antik Tarih

Eleştirmen yorumları

A fun and easy read . . . the authors’ sense of humour, combined with what feels like bottomless knowledge of their subject, really does make history seem interesting, enjoyable and even fun . . . it’s quite different from other history books. Holland and Sandbrook’s approach to asking curious questions, and then answering them, takes the reader on an idiosyncratic ride through history . . . The Rest is History is most certainly a readable book. It’s educational without being didactic, and thought-provoking without being too taxing
This compilation of the historically odd and downright wacky is the book version of their popular podcast . . . Clever, light-hearted history from serious historians
Reasonable people might well have been turned off revisionist history by Ridley Scott’s dull, flat, thin cinematic version of Napoleon’s life. An antidote lies close to hand, in the form of a book-length write-up of the popular podcast, The Rest is History
I recently gave my dad a copy of The Rest Is History, the printed spinoff to the podcast hosted by Dominic Sandbrook and Tom Holland. The man absolutely wolfed it down. He’d never heard the podcast before, but the book’s tone – bitty, authoritative pop history – was like a cruise missile aimed directly at his brain stem (Stuart Heritage)
A book to gift every history buff
As a way to learn big chunks of history in a fast and entertaining way, this written version is arguably even more effective than its popular audio parent

Great chunks are directly taken from the Podcast.
Save the credit , not worth it.

Same as Podcast but without debate

Here’s a historical television reference for you, which sums up my experience perfectly: Mr Ben. The popular 1970’s children’s television animation in which the titular character would enter the same costume shop in each episode, be met by the assistant who, “magically appeared,” pick an outfit and, once having donned it in the dressing room, he would step through another door and into a magical adventure, themed around the outfit he’d chosen, be it an astronaut, a cowboy, a knight in armour, you get the idea.
Well, these guys don’t just tell you a bunch of stuff about an eclectic collection of historical periods that you didn’t already know, but they find such inventive, creative and imaginative ways to do it that it sticks in your head, along with the pronounced sensation of having been thoroughly entertained.
Through their deft use of satire, correspondence (some fictionalised), Top Trumps, sketches, hilarious impersonations and many other techniques, as engrossing as they are pitch perfect for the material in hand, they have found a way to draw in people with little knowledge of history by making it fun and interesting; whilst simultaneously rewarding the history buffs with too many references and gags to count that make you go, “Ah, I see what you did there. Clever.”
It genuinely made me feel like a kid again, going on these vastly different adventures, one after another, never quite knowing what to expect, often having those expectations subverted, and ultimately feeling just so glad that I took a chance on this book! A perfect Christmas gift, a perfect gift full stop. Even if you’re buying it for yourself, it feels like such a gift.
I’m off to listen to the sequel now. I’m just glad there’s MORE of this stuff out there!

Genuinely, The Most Pleasant Surprise I’ve Had This Year! Magical.

Pithy, clever, and sweet together. Lovely succinct snippets to enjoy when you’ve not got time for the full podcast series but still need a bit of time with some Englishmen to calm the nerves.

Wonderful

I’m a massive fan of the podcast so it was pretty obvious I’d enjoy this. The Real Da Vinci Code is the funniest chapter in an audiobook I’ve ever listened to.

A tour de force
