Dan Jones takes a fresh look at events that still have consequences today
Popular historian and broadcaster Dan Jones, bestselling author of The Templars and The Plantagenets, turns his attention to the Crusades.
This series of medieval religious wars, which lasted for more than 200 years, saw armies from European Christian states set out to wrest the Holy Land from Islamic rule. They were ruthless. They were bloody. They also brought benefits, including new trade routes and an exchange of knowledge. But who was behind the Crusades? Who were the men (and women) who took part? Why have they left such an enduring imprint on relations between the Muslim world and the West?

Elizabeth Gowing: Unlikely Positions (In Unlikely Places) - A Yoga Journey Around Britain
Travel writer Elizabeth Gowing is an unlikely yogini. She is too fond of cake and to-do lists, and sometimes falls over her mat. But yoga has taken her around the country from village halls, where a quivering triangle pose was interrupted by the council recycling collection, to the soaring aerial yoginis of Godalming. Whether on a National Trust site or a prison, Newcastle or Nottingham, she discovers ways in which yoga is rebuilding communities and lives –and her own wobbling body. Funny and touching, it’s the story of ancient wisdom solving modern-day problems, as well as the exultation of finally mastering the crow.

The Map of Knowledge: How Classical Ideas Were Lost and Found - A History in Seven Cities with Violet Moller
'Superb... Ambitious but concise, deeply researched but elegantly written, and very entertaining, The Map of Knowledge is popular intellectual history at its best' (Telegraph)
Historian Violet Moller follows the ideas of three great scientists, Euclid, Galen and Ptolemy, through seven cities and across more than a thousand years. The journey takes her from sixth-century Alexandria to ninth-century Baghdad, from Muslim Cordoba to Catholic Toledo, from Salerno's medieval medical school to Palermo with its mix of cultures, and finally to Venice, where printing presses allowed the even wider spread of Euclid's geometry, Ptolemy's system of the stars, and Galen's writings on medicine.
In tracing these strands of knowledge from century to century, from east to west, north to south, Moller reveals the web of connections between the Islamic world and Christendom, connections that both preserve and transform astronomy, mathematics and medicine from the early Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
Vividly told and with a dazzling cast of characters, The Map of Knowledge is an evocative, nuanced and vibrant account of our common intellectual heritage.

James Holland: Normandy '44 - D-Day and the Battle for France
In the 75thanniversary year of the D-Day landings renowned World War II historian James Holland presents a new perspective on the campaign, challenging much of what we think we know about the landings and the 76 days of fighting in Normandy that followed. Drawing on previously unseen archives and testimonies Holland considers the effectiveness of the leaders, the operational mechanics, and the role of air and sea power, to arrive at some radically different conclusions.

Ben Lewis: Last Leonardo - The Secret Life of the World's Most Expensive Painting
In 2017, Leonardo Da Vinci's small oil painting, the Salvator Mundi, entered the public consciousness when it was sold for a record-breaking $450m in New York. Only re-attributed to Leonardo in 2011 it is widely known as 'the Last Leonardo'. But is it? In this stunning mix of biography, history and thriller, art historian Ben Lewis delves into the history of the picture and the murky dealings of the contemporary art world. What emerges is a twisting tale of geniuses and gangsters, double-crossing and disappearances where we're never quite certain what, or whom, to believe.

Paul Arnott: Windrush - A Ship Through Time
In this fascinating biography Paul Arnott reveals the full story of a ship that changed so many lives. Built by German-Jewish shipbuilders in 1930 and requisitioned by the Nazis for propoganda‘cruises’, it was used to transport Norwegian Jews to Auschwitz, before being captured by the British and renamed. But it’s a single voyage from the Caribbean in June 1948 bringing the first-wave of black migrants that led to its name being ingrained in British history, a symbolic beginning to our multicultural nation, synonymous with injustices and cover-ups.
