Charles Spencer: The White Ship

<div>My guest in this week's Book Club podcast is Charles Spencer, whose book <em>The White Ship: Conquest, Anarchy and the Wrecking of Henry I's Dream </em>is new out in paperback. He tells me why his story is like "<em>Game of Thrones </em>meets <em>Titanic</em>", about the piety and the startling cruelty of medieval kings, the tantalising suggestion that the wreck of the White Ship may have been found off Barfleur -- and how this 12th-century maritime disaster changed the course of English history.</div>
