Too much modern
Revisado: 06-30-18
I picked this up because I felt woefully ignorant of pre-colonial African history. While the title is accurate he seems to really move quickly through the ancient and medieval civilizations that I had come for. I’m especially irked by this as the professor explicitly complains about how many historians have ignored Africa’s precolonial history. But in this series places like Mali are not even devoted a full lecture on their own.
I like his performance and I wouldn’t be dissuaded from listening to him again. And, you do get a good picture of how Africa’s civilizations differ from Europe’s in terms of world view and system. But I was disappointed by the lack of depth given to ancient and medieval Africa.

Drawing on President Bush’s personal diaries, on the diaries of his wife, Barbara, and on extraordinary access to the 41st president and his family, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham paints an intimate and surprising portrait of an intensely private man who led the nation through tumultuous times.

Amazing story, great narration

I loved this book and the performance. The one criticism I would level is that the author is a definite Bush apologist. Sometimes that helps you better understand Bush, but sometimes it's a little pandering. Overall it's one of my favorite books I've read this year.
