Simon Mayo and Matt Williams welcome Author and Historian Simon Sebag Montefiore to the podcast.

They chat about TWO of his books, which are both very relevant at the moment. Firstly, 'Jerusalm: The Biography', which Simon is currently updating....and secondly, 'The World: A Family History'.

These two books are humungous in both scope and size - but they are fantastic and well worth your time.
