註釋This entertaining companion to the massively popular history podcast tackles 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



The Rest Is History podcast brilliantly distills 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 podcast's charms to the page, offering readers a fresh, wide-ranging tour of humanity's essential, and essentially weird, moments, including:

- 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?



Featuring an introduction from podcast hosts Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook, this book 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.
