Tom Harper and Christopher Winn are joined by Professor David Howarth, author of ‘Adventurers The Improbable Rise of the East India Company’ to discuss the surprisingly humble and chaotic Tudor origins of the most celebrated and powerful global entity in history.

✔️ Who were the people who risked all to sail the world in search of trade?
✔️ Were they really the debauched and bloated plutocrats of public perception?
✔️ How did the Company out manoeuvre and out last its rivals, the Dutch, the Portuguese, the Spanish and the French?
✔️ Why did the Company never succeed in Japan?
