Dominic & I head out into the streets of Sarajevo to record a forthcoming series of The Rest Is History on the outbreak of the First World War

Ah well, there’s always next year…

“We now regret the loss and weep for the return of what we once hated. We are independent, but instead of feeling joy we can only tremble.”

The Hungarian writer Mihály Babits, in 1939, remembering the Habsburg monarchy…

Today on The Rest Is History, we start the count-down to CUSTER'S LAST STAND.

We track the cat-&-mouse game played by the US Army against the Plains Indians; the treaties signed & broken; & advance of the railroads; & DEATH IN THE BLACK HILLS.

So excited to find out what’s going on

Out in paperback in July, @Holland_Tom's #Pax is the definitive history of Rome's golden age -antiquity's ultimate superpower at the pinnacle of its greatness.

Pre-order it from Waterstones to be in with the chance to win a trip to Bath: brnw.ch/21wJNdF

This has been a fascinating series. Until I listened didn't realise that the people of the plains had been from the forests only a few generations before.

A most moving & revelatory portrait. The King joins Richard II, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I & Charles I as the monarchical subject of a great painting.

Very excited about this - not least because Tom Holland and I appear in this book, albeit in donkey form.

As I've always maintained, there are good novels, great novels and novels about Aberystwyth (in ascending order, obviously). I can't wait.
