History Book Club
Welcome to the History Book Club - the club for all lovers of history, presented by Oliver Webb-Carter, formerly of Aspects of History. Oliver interviews authors of the best historical writing, to draw out the stories that you'll be interested in.
Every month will also feature the History Film Club, as historian Roger Moorhouse and director Tim Hewitt join to discuss a historical movie.
Get in touch if you want a particular area of history to be covered, because at the History Book Club, members are the most important people of all.
