A man awakens in a clearing in what appears to be medieval England with no memory of who he is, where he came from, or why he is there. Chased by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts. His only help from the “real world” should have been a guidebook entitled The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, except his copy exploded during transit.

A new “Hitchhiker’s Guide”
Revisado: 04-28-25
Not what I expected but very fun. I’ve never read anything that so perfectly captures the humorous vibe of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy like this book does. It is actually better and funnier than Hitchhiker’s Guide but I have no doubt where the author got his inspiration. Very fun and funny adventure. Both narrators are perfect and absolutely nail it.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 25
In this sweeping account Clifford Dowdey recreates one of the most important battles in U.S. history. With vivid and breathtaking detail, Lee and His Men at Gettysburg is both a historical work and an honorary ode to the almost 50,000 soldiers who died at the fields of Pennsylvania. Written with an emphasis on the Confederate forces, the book captures the brilliance and frustration of a general forced to contend with overwhelming odds and in-competent subordinates.

Solid book
Revisado: 12-08-17
Almost exclusively a Confederate view of Gettysburg. Excellent narration. The book starts with a scathing critique of Jefferson Davis’ poor strategy and micromanagement. The author argues that Davis’ taking away experienced units from Lee’s army caused the Gettysburg defeat before the campaign even started.
Also, goes in great depth how many of the general officers in his army sabotaged Lee’s strategy- with special attention placed on the failings of Longstreet and JEB Stuart.
I learned new things and gained a deeper perspective, which is what I look for in a Civil War book. Not perfect, but a very solid effort.

Good

Repeats a lot from Ehrman's other books, but still great stuff. Still some good nuggets, though, and worth a listen or 2

Large numbers of atheists, humanists, and conspiracy theorists are raising one of the most pressing questions in the history of religion: "Did Jesus exist at all?" Was he invented out of whole cloth for nefarious purposes by those seeking to control the masses? Or was Jesus such a shadowy figure - far removed from any credible historical evidence - that he bears no meaningful resemblance to the person described in the Bible?

Great

Great job all around. This is my 4th Ehrman book and in some respects I think it might be the best.
