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

Concise and informative

This audiobook provided an excellent summary of the history of Germania and the cultural influences that forged the modern nation of Germany

How Germany became the Germany we know today

Pull up a chair and watch the land in which Germany now stands transform into the country we know today.

political slant at the end ruined it.

full disclosure I purchased this audiobook thinking it was expanded take about Tacitus on Germania.

I found it interesting and was assuming it was filling some holes with factual history until it got to the 20th century... From there it started praising the Weimar era, rehashing old communist and socialist propaganda etc, forward to the reunification of Berlin and completely ignoring Reagan's iconic "tear down this wall" speech in 1987! It finished with how wonderful "progressive Germany" is now with its relatively easy emigration policies and its multicultural diversity...do the authors even read the news?

audio with the book is best

listen to the audio and follow along with the book. There is a lot of info in here and I paused and reread once in awhile. The narrator does pronounce a few words different than I do. So seeing the words pronounced helps with understanding.
