In conversation with Prue Keely.

Internationally bestselling author, Simon Sebag Montefiore, gives a dazzling celebration of the human story, from caves to drones. Unlike any previous world history, he uses ‘family’ to tell the story. From places as diverse as Haiti, Cambodia and Congo as well as Europe, China and the Americas, Montefiore steers us through themes of war, migration, plague, religion and technology to the people at the heart of the human drama.
