    A Tale of Oil, War, and Revolution: The Lost Empire of Emanuel Nobel (with Douglas Brunt)

    In his latest book "The Lost Empire of Alfred Nobel", New York Times Bestselling Author Douglas Brunt tells the fascinating tale of the rise and fall of the world's  largest oil dynasty.  Emanuel Nobel took the reigns of his family's massive Russian petroleum conglomerate  just as the Automotive Age began and the steam engine was giving way to internal combustion. Oil had become the lifeblood of human endeavor. Nobel eclipsed business rivals like the Rothschilds and John D. Rockefeller and earned the favor of the Tsar himself. Yet just as he seemed invincible, the winds of war and political change swept over Imperial Russia and threatening his family fortune and even his life. It's a sweeping tale in the far-flung reaches of the Russian Empire from Baku on the Caspian Sea to the streets of Saint Petersburg, swirling with a cast of characters including The Romanovs, Rasputin, Lenin, Stalin, Rudolf Diesel, and Winston Churchill.  "The Lost Empire of Emanuel Nobel" is available now at fine booksellers everywhere.

    Recreating the Lancia 037 (with Brandon Hegedus)

    In 1980, the FIA issued a new set of competition regulations for GT and Rally car classes known as Group B. These rules allowed manufacturers wide latitude on  design and materials- and most importantly, no restriction on forced induction. Carmakers were also required to build fewer road car versions (just 200) to meet homologation.  The result was an astounding array of racing brutes like the Audi Quattro, Ford RS200, Peugeot 205 T16 and of course the Lancia 037.  But the speed and danger of Group B Rally brought things to an abrupt end and guaranteed the rarity of these cars... and that's where Brandon Hegedus of Hegedus Automobili comes in. He's a master craftsman who recreates halo cars (with some modern tweaks). Call them replicas, tributes, whatever- they are meticulously built and very impressive.  VISIT HEGEDUS AUTOMOBILI: https://hegedusautomobili.com SUPPORT THE PODCAST: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritage SUBSCRIBE to Horsepower Heritage on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritage FIND US ON THE WEB: https://www.horsepowerheritage.com INSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritage HORSEPOWER HERITAGE is created, produced and hosted by Maurice Merrick.
