If you want to discover the captivating history of Germania, then pay attention....

Germany is a relatively young nation-state. United in 1871, it's even younger than the United States. However, the territories inhabited by the Germanic people have a rich history that reaches far back in prehistory and antiquity. Located in the heart of Europe, Germany witnessed centuries of conflicts, immigration, and negotiations. Consequently, its shape, size, and ethnicity changed throughout history. The territories which constitute Germany today were often war zones, and at times they would join forces against a common enemy or break apart due to internal conflicts. Because of these conflicts, Germany’s boundaries, as well as what it means to be German, fluctuated throughout history and, in some way, are still evolving. The region's long and troubled history influences its present, its politics, and its nationality.

another that spans the ages

another fascinating insight into another region that has allowed culture to spark, n then flourish

I usually prefer this narrator, but there were a couple of times when intonation didn't keep me as "captivated" as usual.

overall, another recommendation, n will probably reread at a later time

An excellent overview and springboard

This is not an English translation of the Roman account of German barbarians by the same name. While I was looking for the Roman account, this book does summarize and include information from that history and much much more. It’s a very good overview and presents many topics for the reader to pursue for more in-depth reading and research. I did find the narrator’s pronunciation of a few words a little jarring, one that comes to mind that was used a few times being “debacle”.

Great overview

This was a really good look at the Germanic Tribes, the issues in that part of the world, and right up to modern Germany. I liked this very much.

So much significant information - so well done!

Not home of human artifacts 50 million years ago - big error in introduction of early history. But after this mistake he used "thousands correctly". Excellent well-focused account of Germania past and leading up to present. I'm starting it again into insure I didn't miss too much. Very fast paced and succinct but easy to listen to.

very informative

nice and quick listen with interesting facts school don't teach. great course for kids
