Context:

The other book Dominic is promoting, also part of the Adventures in Time series. Extensively discussed throughout the episode—Dominic explains how he structured it by starting with Hitler as a boy (originally with a dog in the trenches, removed on his 8-year-old son's advice), how he handled the Holocaust chapter by framing it around Anne Frank and including stories of rescuers like Nicholas Winton and the Danish resistance, and how he told the Dunkirk story through the little ship of Charles Lightoller.
