Read Smart: The 2021 Longlist

Join us this week for our annual longlist episode. Our host Razia Iqbal is joined by two of our judges - historian, author, columnist and television presenter Dominic Sandbrook and historian and writer Kathryn Hughes. Together, Razia and our guests explore the depth and variety of the thirteen books on this year’s longlist, as well as which qualities define the best works of non-fiction.
