Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 28
Few images in history have managed to capture and hold the popular imagination quite like that of Hannibal, the fearless North African, perched on a monstrous elephant, leading his mercenaries over the Alps and then, against all odds, descending the ice-covered peaks to challenge Rome in her own backyard for mastery of the ancient world. It was a bold move, and it established Hannibal as one of history's greatest commanders. But this same brilliant tactician is also one of history's most tragic figures; fate condemned him to win his battles but not his war.

Good listen

This was a fun listen. A little repetitive at times, but enjoyable nonetheless. Seems like this guy did his homework and does a fantastic job of bringing the ancient world to life. The narrator was a little too American sounding for my taste. But he performed admirably as well.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 105
Empires and Barbarians presents a fresh, provocative look at how a recognizable Europe came into being in the first millennium AD. With sharp analytic insight, Peter Heather explores the dynamics of migration and social and economic interaction that changed two vastly different worlds--the undeveloped barbarian world and the sophisticated Roman Empire--into remarkably similar societies and states.

Disappointed...

This guy clearly knows what he is talking about, and I'm sure this is great if you are a scholar. But I was amazed that he managed to make the history of barbarian Europe so... Boring.
