History Undone

Fergus Macphee

Booking Overview

A weekly historical interview show focused on counterfactual scenarios, military strategy, warfare, and major geopolitical turning points, typically featuring senior military figures, academic historians, and specialist commentators. Agencies could credibly pitch established historians, university experts, defense analysts, former military leaders, and authors with recognized expertise in conflict, intelligence, empire, or international affairs; booking difficulty is high because guests are generally authoritative specialists rather than general-interest commentators.
