The Handle on Broad Street
Three Stories from the Moments That Changed HistoryBy Seraphina Pendleton
Length49m
About this audiobook
A pump handle. A bomb bay door. A book thrown in the dust.
Three turning points. Three moments when the ordinary world ended and something irreversible began.
The Handle on Broad Street collects three works of narrative history — lean, cinematic, and grounded in primary sources — that ask a deceptively simple question: What does it actually feel like to be inside history when it breaks?
