The historian tackles the most world-changing events that you almost certainly didn’t know about. Plus, a hugely engaging tale of ‘radical nuns in combat boots’

The first big historical event retold by David Olusoga and Sarah Churchwell in their new series is a terror attack on New York – but no, it’s not 9/11. They want to tell us about the world-shaping moments we’re not taught about, which in this case was the Black Tom 1916 bombing. England’s great storm of 1703 – one of the worst natural disasters ever – and female pirates of the Caribbean Anne Bonny and Mary Read are also on the meaty agenda. Hollie Richardson
