RIHC: Trump’s Election Victory, Spectacular Battlefields, and Star Wars

How historically seismic is the recent American election? What will be the consequences of Trump’s victory for the future of the U.S.A? Were the 1990’s more of a turning point in American politics than the 1960’s? When did political journalism lose its impartiality? How will the last ten years of American politics be written about by future historians? Are there similarities between George Wallace in the U.S and Enoch Powell in the UK? And, what have been Tom and Dominic’s best historical insights over the last four years of doing The Rest is History? In this week’s bonus episode, Tom and Dominic are reunited at last to discuss their U.S. tour, the history of American politics, the recent election result, and top British battle sites. _______ LIVE SHOWS *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 San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York.
