Ashleigh Hartwig asked Simon Sebag Montefiore:

Hi Mr. Montefiore! When there are tons of other books being published about the same historical topics, how do you single yourself out to be different from all of the others? Because believe me, I love everything there is about history and I've read a few of your books and they are amazing! Reading about historic times and events are so fascinating and I just want to know what makes your books unique? Thank you!
