Story
At the start of WWII, the U.S. found itself in desperate need of an intelligence agency. The Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a precursor to today’s CIA, was quickly formed—and, in an effort to fill its ranks with experts, the OSS turned to academia for recruits. Suddenly, literature professors, librarians, and historians were training to perform undercover operations and investigative work—and these surprising spies would go on to profoundly shape both the course of the war and our cultural institutions with their efforts.

Story
This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

Story
Henry V reigned over England for only nine years and four months and died at the age of just thirty-five, but he looms over the landscape of the late Middle Ages and beyond. The victor of Agincourt, he is remembered as the acme of kingship, a model to be closely imitated by his successors. William Shakespeare deployed Henry V as a study in youthful folly redirected to sober statesmanship. For one modern medievalist, Henry was, quite simply, “the greatest man who ever ruled England.”

A historical educational epic
I have been enthralled with the Romans for most of my life, funnily enough but experiences heated floor tiles and a passer by mentioning that this kind of technology sprouted from the ingenuity of the Romans. Ever since then, I have been so excited to learn as much as a can about this highly impressive and intelligent reign. Although Aeon history calls this an “intuductory history of Rome”, I think this is a far more far reaching project. Gary Bartley expertly narrates his way through the history of kinds, emperors, lengends, mythology, historical events, and so much more that could possibly be mentioned here. Excellent history stuff again from Aeon history.

The narrative captured the grandeur and decline of Rome, painting a vivid picture of its leaders, battles, and society. Perfect for both history buffs and newcomers, it weaves a captivating tale of power, betrayal, and innovation. A stellar introduction to Rome's legacy, offering a comprehensive yet digestible history lesson.

Highly Recommend!
I absolutely loved this audiobook. It's interesting, comprehensive and well structured. Most importantly, my teenager overheard part of it in the car and wanted to listen and learn about history of Rome. That is a rare occasion in my household and a meaningful one I wanted to call out in my review of this book.
