Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 94
The Napoleonic Wars had torn Europe apart, and the peace conference of 1814 was to be held in the continent's grandest city: Vienna. Everyone had an agenda in the postwar world, and spy networks, bitter hatreds, illicit affairs, and tangled alliances ensued.

Good content ruined by appalling and lazy pronunciation
Revisado: 02-10-21
My ears bled for 14 hours listening to a good book ruined by terrible pronunciation. Guys, if you are going to narrate a book on the napoleonic era which is laced with french names, have the narrator check with a french spreaker beforehand ...
The narrator even mangled English names - Castlereagh prounced as “Kassell-Raw” .... for the record it is Castle-Ray”

Historia4 out of 5 stars 64
Starting with a superbly concise explanation of the Industrial Revolution, authors Garrett and Godfrey explore the intricate series of events that followed on the heels of a conservative reaction to Napoleon's defeat. With varying degrees of success, the victorious Allied powers sought to reinstall monarchy and religious authority throughout Europe.

Great content marred by the delivery
Revisado: 11-02-11
The narrator's consistent mispronunciation of simple historical names and nouns (eg Marshal Ney and tricolour pronounced as "Marshal Nigh, and try colour" ) really grates and detracts. The narrator seems to think that he is a cross between Patrick Stewart and Winston Churchill - it is truly a camp and hammed up delivery. Quite pompous. The content is worth putting up with the self-indulgent delivery and constant mis-pronunciations though.
