January Good Reads

This book is a really fun way to get a grasp of large chunks of history.  Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook add humour and wit to their subject and brim with a bottomless knowledge.  Questions answered include How did a hair appointment almost blow Churchill’s cover’? And ‘What made Alfred the Great so great?’

It’s a whistle-stop tour from Ancient Rome to modern China.
