Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 65
German military history is typically viewed as an inexorable march to the rise of Prussia and the two world wars, the road paved by militarism and the result a specifically German way of war. Peter Wilson challenges this narrative. Looking beyond Prussia to German-speaking Europe across the last five centuries, Wilson finds little unique or preordained in German militarism or warfighting. Iron and Blood takes as its starting point the consolidation of the Holy Roman Empire, which created new mechanisms for raising troops but also for resolving disputes diplomatically.

Learned a lot

Top shelf documentary. Enjoyed the narration and learned quite a bit. It’s nice to hear so much about the 17th and 18th centuries

Touched off by a terrorist act in Bosnia and spreading all too quickly beyond the expectations of those who were involved, World War I was an unprecedented catastrophe with a ghastly cost. After this first "total war"-the first conflict involving entire societies mobilized to wage unrestrained war, devoting all their wealth, industries, institutions, and the lives of their citizens to win victory at any price - the world itself would never be the same.

EXCELLENT SURVEY COURSE THAT NEEDS MORE CHRONOLOGY
- De Ark1836 en 06-08-15
Excellent
Revisado: 04-08-22
Great course! Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge. I think these lectures provide a great overview of the war from the build up all the way to the end and beyond. I believe these lectures are worth a listen by most anyone looking for a history of the whole period.

Hailed as the “first freedom”, free speech is the bedrock of democracy. But it is a challenging principle, subject to erosion in times of upheaval. Today, in democracies and authoritarian states around the world, it is on the retreat. In Free Speech, Jacob Mchangama traces the riveting legal, political, and cultural history of this idea.

Great book - boring narration
Revisado: 03-12-22
Loved the book, but I really wish Jacob had narrated it for us. The narrator is clear and understandable. My only issue was that his narration as a bit monotone and slow. I listened at 1.4x just to stay awake.

The world's greatest problem-solvers, forecasters, and decision-makers all rely on a set of frameworks and shortcuts that help them cut through complexity and separate good ideas from bad ones. They're called mental models, and you can find them in dense textbooks on psychology, physics, economics, and more. Or, you can just listen to Super Thinking, a fun, illustrated guide to every mental model you could possibly need.

Could be more concise
Revisado: 01-01-22
I liked the book overall, but the authors spend too much time using textbook definitions and examples for a lot of the concepts. One could skip all the lessons on economics and basic physics concepts and still completely understand the topics. It’s easy to get lost in the explanations of the tragedy of the commons or the definition of inertia and forget what the book is actually about.
