First audio book of many I hope

I can not wait to listen to Bettany's first audio book after hearing this interview.

As a fan of her historical studies, I hope that this will be followed by all of her past titles too.

This historian speaks with heartfelt passion......

This historian writes and speaks with such heartfelt passion. She buries her fingers into the mud of our past and with her stained fingers, communicates her universal vision, unmarried by prejudice or time. Brilliant.

Great learning experience

I listened more than once to many chapters. I recommended this wonderful book to half a dozen of my friends. It offers a good view in a subject that is rarely handled with this level of courage and thinking quality.

cut too short

Why does it end so abruptly? They were literally still in the middle of their conversation.
