The Life of John Burgoyne - In conversation with Norman Poser
In this special episode of the Explaining History Podcast we hear from biographer Norman Poser, whose new book From the Battlefield to the Stage: The Many Lives of John Burgoyne tells the story of Burgoyne, who famously surrendered to the American armies at Saratoga in 1777. In this fascinating interview we explore the story of Burgoyne himself, the revolutionary war and the nature of parliamentary life in the 18th Century and the foundational ideas of conservatism.You can grab a copy of Norman Poser's From the Battlefield to the Stage hereAnd you can also access more history help and resources here at the Explaining History website Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.
