'The world's most successful history podcast . . . Holland and Sandbrook have pretty much reinvented popular history for the modern age' The Times

From the podcast legends who brought you The Rest is History comes The Rest is History Returns!

This time Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook bring you an alphabetical miscellany, taking on some of history's best and most bizarre moments. Charge forth against the traitors of the American Revolution, journey through Baghdad to discover the origins of the Arabian Nights and head to Sicily to witness the first face-off between Carthage and Rome.

Along the way you'll find the answers to questions like:
• Who was Jesus's wife?
• What would it have been like to live-tweet through the eruption of Vesuvius?
• Why did the Romans inspire so much American science fiction?
• Which Mitford sister tried to seduce her girlish crush, Adolf Hitler?
• Who are history's top 10 monkeys?
• Was Henry V's great-grandfather, Edward III, the biggest 'lad' in British history?

But that's not all - this book also includes puzzles and a pub quiz. So dust off your tricorne hat, grab your lasso and get ready for a rollicking rollercoaster through the past . . .
