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."--Publisher. 650 0 $a World history. 650 0 $a World history $x Miscellanea. 655 7 $a FAQs. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Humor. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Holland, Tom, $e author. 700 1 $a Sandbrook, Dominic, $e author. 700 1 $a Hollingshead, Iain, $e author. 700 1 $a Doughty, Adam, $e illustrator. 710 2 $a Goalhanger Podcasts (Firm), $e issuing body. 730 0 $i Companion to: $a Rest is history (Podcast) 941 $a 6 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20240521011424.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011627.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20240305041615.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240302011516.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011208.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240124010039.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3F03C79CBA8611EEB294DA0140ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
