Simon Sebag Montefiore: The Cauldron

from The Book Club

My guest on this week’s Book Club podcast is Simon Sebag Montefiore, the author of a number of fantastic books, including The Cauldron, which released this week. Simon and I talk about the making of the modern middle east, and how we forget some of the most fundamental groups who shaped this part of the world into the region that we know of today.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
