Listening to BBC History Extra it’s possible to learn a great many things. On top of that they often invite some wonderful specialists, researchers and authors to talk about their work and every time I have listened in, I have been surprised and enlightened. On one such occasion they had invited Dr Edmund Richardson to talk about his book Alexandria: The Lost City. Straight after that I got the audiobook and gave it a listen. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about the real history of the East India Company, the horrors of colonialism and some of the reasons of why today’s world is the way it is.

Enjoy!
