Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 341
This compellingly written history presents a fresh, new view of the events that led from the first foreign salute to American nationhood in 1776 to the last campaign of the Revolution five years later. It paints a magnificent portrait of General George Washington and recounts in riveting detail the events responsible for the birth of our nation.

One of the Worst Narrations from Audible
Revisado: 08-26-21
Hardly a history of the American War of Independence. The female narrator has a distinctive and very strong English accent which made listening and understanding this audiobook a strain and disappoint. It was more a story of British standing in the world in the 18th century.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 125
Notes on one of the most infamous and bloody battles of World War II - from the German perspective. As the Allied armies swept toward the Reich in late 1944, the German high command embarked on an ambitious plan to gain the initiative on the western front and deal a crippling blow to the Allied war effort. As early as August 1944, when the Germans were being crushed in the east and hammered in Normandy, Hitler was talking of an offensive aimed at destroying as many American and British divisions as possible in a massive surprise assault.

Mostly boring rhetoric
Revisado: 02-05-21
A jumble of philosophical blusters, mostly from Hitler. No actual battlefield accounts that the title alludes to.

The siege of Vienna in 1683 was one of the turning points in European history. So great was its impact that countries normally jealous and hostile sank their differences to throw back the armies of Islam and their savage Tartar allies.The consequences of defeat were momentous: The Ottomans lost half of their European territories, which led to the final collapse of their empire, and the Habsburgs turned their attention from France and the Rhine frontier to the rich pickings of the Balkans.

Very Disappointed
Revisado: 07-17-14
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
More information about the siege itself instead of going on and on about the political situation in Eastern Europe at the time.
What could John Stoye have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Less minutia about the politics of the era more information about the siege of Vienna. The dearth of information about the Siege of Vienna was pitiful.
Would you be willing to try another one of Robert Feifar’s performances?
Yes
What character would you cut from The Siege of Vienna?
Most
Any additional comments?
This should have been titled: The Politics Leading up to the Siege of Vienna.
