Happy New Year and 2023 production news! (Patreon)

Dear Patrons,

I trust you have all had a wonderful / have survived the holiday season, and may I take this opportunity to wish you a very happy and successful 2023.

My own plans, as many of you know, include making lots more history videos about Napoleon Bonaparte, and other topics.

Episode 2 of Napoleon in Italy is about 2 weeks away, and I include some preview images to get you in the mood. This episode covers the start of the French siege of Mantua through to the Battle of Castiglione, and sees Napoleon tested as a general like never before.

Big production news for 2023 - work is underway on two more series:

The Abbasid Caliphate: Islam's Golden Age - this will be a 'big picture' narrative history of the Caliphate (similar to our History of Russia series), covering military, cultural and technological achievements, with lots of maps and great new art. 

World War Two - 2023 is the year I finally make the most requested series in the channel's history (by miles!) I know this topic splits the audience, but just to say a few quick things about it: this series will be a fast-paced global overview in the style of our WW1 videos. I will be working hard to make sure it looks and sounds great, and is packed with historical insight (this was the focus of my MA thesis, plus I will be working with specialist historians). The result should not only be a great watch, but - like the WW1 series - an accessible and widely-used educational resource for years to come. 

Alongside that, we also have the rest of Napoleon in Italy, the Battle of Eylau, and more votes on what you want to see next. 

Thank you to all my patrons, new and old, big and small, for supporting the channel, and best wishes again for 2023. I'll be back with the Patreon premiere of Napoleon in Italy: Castiglione soon.

Hi Toby! What day it'll be available here The Video #2 of Napoleon in Italy? Thanks

Kevin Xu

Looking forward to both series! I feel like you’ve become a key source of history on Anglo topics(ie Napoleon, Russia) to the Anglo-speaking world, so more accessible information of the caliphates sounds like a great topic! Also looking forward to the world war 2 series, and perhaps some better pronunciation of Chinese locations than Tsingtao(actually Qingdao)

Filip Petrovic

Excited for this! Really hope you give a good mention to the House of Wisdom. I heard that the only reason we know about the teachings of certain ancient Greek philosophers like Aristotle was because of the availability of Arabic translations of the ancient Greek & Latin texts while the Christians of the former Roman Empire did their best to destroy their pagan past. :)

Dan Jaggers

Wow 2023 is looking to be a busy year for EHTV, and I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us in the upcoming series, especially WW2, it's about time that we got to that, with all the increase in production values since the WW1 series it should be spectacular. The Abbasid series should be a very interesting watch into the early centuries of Islam and it's accomplishments.

Tiago Carvalho

Even though WW2 is the most requested series, your Napoleonic-era are by far my favorites! Specially the 1814 France campaign. I can't wait for the new one on Italy and I'm sure that you will do the Egyptian campaign too :)

Luca Schneider

This is going to be a very exciting year!

SheepFace2000

Very interested to learn about the Caliphate

A.G

Sounds great, I'm excited about the caliphate. Altough I really hope one day you make a series on Ceasar like you did with belisarius

Nigel Pierce

WW2!!!! Let’s go the one thing I love about you all is the breakdown of the units and troop count even the great Kings and general( they are without a doubt number 2 behind you all) don’t include that with they’re ww2 battles I’m so excited!!!

Emperor

This year is going to truly be… *an epic one*. I can’t wait for what you have stored for us. Your work never fails to disappoint us as the community. Keep up the amazing work!

Sergei

Can't wait to see all of them and let me just say the maps look awesome and I eagerly wait for more

Dane Dosson

After the WWII series, it would be awesome to see a series on Simone Bolivar and the S American revolutions.

Samuel Pattinasarane

Can we also maybe go for something on the spectrum of Asian/African history, like the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation, Meiji Restoration, Philippines-American War, Biafran War or South African Border War?

EpicHistoryTV

When we get through this lot, we can certainly have a discussion and a vote here on future topics.

Stuart Carver

Sounds like a an awesome year ahead 🙂 any book recommendations for these or any topics you’ve covered that are not often found in shops perhaps? I can find basically no books in English on the Decembrist revolt for example.

EpicHistoryTV

Hi Stuart. No I didn't find any recent books in English covering the Decembrists either. Most of the research for this was done in Russia, quite often from primary sources - memoirs of the Decembrists themselves, and published reports of the investigations, many of which are available online. Boycott-Brown's Road to Rivoli has been our primary source for Napoleon's Italian campaign, it's a good read. Abbasids is more of a timeline/map video so not really relying on a major text source.

Stuart Carver

That’s a shame, someone should get on that in time for the bicentennial. Oh cool looks good but a little pricey.

Andrew Herbst

I recently finished Paul Johnson's book 'Birth of the Modern' and in one of the later chapters he hits the Decembrists quite a bit, (meaning several pages- not several chapters) After watching your Decembrist videos I specifically read Johnson's entire book just because he talked about them later on (its a 1000 page book...)
