This book examines the boom in history, in television and film, newspapers and radio and the constraints and opportunities it offers. Leading historians and broadcasters, such as Melvyn Bragg, Simon Schama and David Puttnam, draw on their personal experiences to explore the problems and highlights of representing history in the media.
History is everywhere in the media. Television viewers can spend every evening watching a different historian expound upon Empire, Witchcraft, the Civil War or Royal Mistresses; or go to the cinema and watch reconstructions of the Second World War, American Civil War or Imperial China. Even current affairs reporting on television, radio or in newspapers implicitly or explicitly includes historical explanations.

Leading historians and high profile broadcasters, such as Melvyn Bragg, Simon Schama, Tristram Hunt, Ian Kershaw and David Puttnam, draw on their personal experiences to explore the problems and highlights of representing history in the media.
