Obscure and addictive true stories from history, told by one of our most entertaining historians, Giles Milton. The first episode of Giles Milton's highly entertaining series "The Unknown Chapters of History" is colorful and accessible, intelligent and insightful. Milton showcases his usual historical flair as he dives into the lesser-known tales of the past. There's the cook aboard the Titanic who survived by drinking whiskey in the icy waters where most others perished. There's the man who survived the atomic bomb in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And there are many, many more. The stories cover everything from adventure, war, murder, and slavery to espionage, including tales of female Robinson Crusoes, Hitler's last hours, Japan's deadly balloon bomb, and the Emperor of the United States – these stories deserve to be told.
