RIHC: Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and Royal Correspondence

What’s the best book that Tom and Dominic have NEVER written? How on earth did Alexander the Great manage to administer and garrison his enormous empire from the remote lands of Macedonia? Did "Willy" and "Georgie" resume their correspondence at the end of the Great War? Which 19th century event could have turned out very differently had the hand of favour gone the other way? And, what is the difference between a Crusade and a Jihad? Join Tom and Dominic for this week's bonus episode, as they discuss the above, debate which era constituted the golden age of France, and brainstorm their next book proposals. _______ *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in New York, San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Boston. *The Rest Is History LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall* Tom and Dominic, accompanied by a live orchestra, take a deep dive into the lives and times of two of history’s greatest composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.
