Leading historian Lynn Hunt rethinks why history matters in today’s global world and how it should be written. George Orwell wrote that "history is written by the winners." Even if that seems a bit too cut-and-dried, we can say that history is always written from a viewpoint but that viewpoints change, sometimes radically. The history of workers, women, and minorities challenged the once-unquestioned dominance of the tales of great leaders and military victories.

Enunciation Appreciation!
Revisado: 10-31-17
To start with, in contrast to a review on this Audiable story, the performer did a great job with their narration. In particular the enunciation. I personally do not play educational Audiable books at x1.0 speed. The words were clear and defined even at x2.80 speed. Once again, it's an educational book, I do not know what kind of artistic voice overs others may come to expect. It's a study of history, not Shakespear. The narrator even did a flawless job at transitioning the pronunciation of seemingly endless French names. As to be expected with any Lynn Hunt book.
As for the story itself, it was well above and beyond my expectations. Personally the final chapter, at minimum helped me craft an idea for a project of which I must present by the end of the semester. Audio, kindle or physical this book is a must read for any student or persons in academia for a fresh breath of thought delivered by Lynn Hunt.
