Short and good

A great start to the conflict. It describes in particular how the check part of the war was fought and why the Communist faction eventually decided to seek a truce after Stalin's death.

Lots of info to help me

Great audiobook, I have got a lot from it. It combines the modern time with a revival in a majestic way.

Thought provoking

I didn't find this an informal audible but captivating full of fascinating facts from the past and an insight into what could be our future. I highly suggest it.

A great history audible

The audiobook does cover a lot of areas and, at times, skirts too fast over subjects, but its strong final section more than makes up for that by truly having the confidence to offer strong opinions on and answers to some of the issues raised during the book.

Easy to follow and stimulating.

Great for getting inside Columbus' head. How well he used the natives. Tiresome navigation info, however

Pretty awesome

The efficiency with which historical "facts" have been handled, interpreted, and recreated to suit a particular political message is something everyone could do with knowing.

Prescribed.

A breaker coaster ride of an audiobook...from the Renaissance to today the writers make the similarities and challenges of our time with the past. An encouraging audible that drives.

Recommended to all.

A greatly enough dose of view that does a huge job of demystifying much of the challenging nature of today's world. There is a real comfort that comes from following patterns in history, and the connection of today's world with the Renaissance era in history is very well-argued.

5 Starts

This is an audiobook of excellent knowledge, creativity, and insights. The writers take us into our modern world by drawing fascinating and illuminating similarities with the Renaissance half-a-millennium ago. The positions taken are thought-provoking and compelling.

Great book for history buffs!

This audiobook gives a great first-hand look at Christopher Columbus and his true motives. One of my favorite books. Refreshing since some are trying to re-write history and define him negatively.
