Even better than Persian Fire

Revisado: 02-12-23

Great book, clear, concise, and detailed without losing the plot. I dont agree with reviews saying this is a whitewashed history, this is very much not an orientalist narrative.

Ride swiftly, let your arrows fly true, and believe not the lie.

A better story than Caesars imo

Revisado: 01-25-23

History remembers Alexander the Great, even though his father phillip really did all the work and made all of it possible. Same with Caesar, an amazingly talented man certainly, but his rise and the fall of the republic were made possible only by the changes put in motion the generation before. This book tells the exciting tale of that generation, and who better to tell it than Mike Duncan, who brought us the original History of Rome podcast? This man is basically Tacitus.

A narrative oft overlooked in the West.

Revisado: 11-09-22

wonderful in depth narrative history of one of the most pivotal periods in chinese history. some people complained about the narrator but I got used to her very quickly and to her credit, her chinese pronunciation is impeccable.

shoehorning modern politics into ancient history

Revisado: 09-24-21

The author is clearly trying to tie the fall of rome in with modern politics, unfortunately they distort the actual history in doing so; no the Romans didnt suddenly become xenophobic before the fall of rome, they always were massively xenophobic, even at the height of their empire, as were almost all ancient civilizations. its so painfully obvious the narrative the author is trying to forge, often skipping over some facts or presenting others in a "different light". Modern politics dont belong in ancient historical narratives. Many authors make modern parallels, but they usually keep it in the preface or introduction.

Good narrative history

Revisado: 09-19-21

Fans of ancient history will find this a gripping account of the last days of the Roman empire. Lots of information about the the Huns, a fascinating people. I enjoy Michael Pages's narration; dramatic telling of dramatic events.

A must have for any ASOIAF nerd

Revisado: 04-13-20

as a fan of actual history and the ASOIAF universe this book was perfect for me. though written as a historical tome it is in no way slow paced or boring, in fact I would describe it as "action packed". the narration is amazing Simon Vance has a wonderful warm and rich voice that really immerses you in the setting. Pour a horn of ale or a flagon of wine and sit back and enjoy!
