From the schism between Rome and Constantinople to the rise of the T'ang Dynasty, from the birth of Muhammad to the crowning of Charlemagne, this erudite book tells the fascinating, often violent story of kings, generals, and the peoples they ruled. In her earlier work, The History of the Ancient World, Susan Wise Bauer wrote of the rise of kingship based on might. But in the years between the fourth and the 12th centuries, rulers had to find new justification for their power, and they turned to divine truth or grace to justify political and military action. Right thus replaces might as the engine of empire. Not just Christianity and Islam but the religions of the Persians and the Germans, and even Buddhism, are pressed into the service of the state. This phenomenon---stretching from the Americas all the way to Japan---changes religion, but it also changes the state.

By definition an audiobook has no visual accompaniment, but this particular history had me jumping back and forth between portions of this book and Wikipedia to look up maps and biographic details that probably were part of the print media.
The parts detailing Chinese and Indian potions probably would benefit from print media as well. The names of actors and geography would also be easier to follow with a hard copy to page back in to clarify a lineage, for instance or route of traders and armies and changing of hands of geographical spots over time. I'll
Probably get a relevant library book with maps and thumbnail historical timelines.

Lacking Visuals

First off this book is rather dry, but for a history nerd it's great. It's a pretty good overview of world history from the conversion of Constantine to the year of 1100 c.e. I wish that it did go more in depth into some areas, but that's not what an overview is, I suppose. Overall pretty good performance, I'm a fan of John Lee due to this series, and he's perfect for the subject-material.

Good Overview

This is great survey of world empire creation and destruction and helps one understand why these ancient events set up the wars and conflicts we have today. It was gut wrenching to learnabout all the evil done by kings and the elites in their quests to be in charge.

Lots of Wars as Empires Rise and Fall

I struggled to get through this book although I learned a great deal it was so disorganized it took me time to figure out where the narrator was going with the information. there were too many distractions and directions. however I did enjoy all of the information that I did gleam from the information. it was an addictive read.

too much information

This book does a good job of walking the reader/listener through timelines, peoples and events across medieval world. I enjoyed it and will probably purchase the book to have on hand as a reference.

Good overview of the Medieval World
