Hardcore History

Book • 2019
In his first book, Dan Carlin delves into a broad range of historical topics, challenging conventional views and presenting history in a fresh and compelling manner.

The book covers the end of the Bronze Age, the fall of major empires, the devastating effects of plagues and famines, and modern concerns such as nuclear warfare.

Carlin's approach is characterized by his ability to humanize historical events, pose alternative perspectives, and make the past relevant to the present.

His narrative is enriched by quotes from historical figures and historians, and he presents a well-researched and engaging account of historical events.
