There are two things that I really appreciated about this book. The first was the main introduction. There are a lot of names and places in this book and keeping track can be difficult, especially in audio. But the main introduction gave an overview of everything so it really grounded me and allowed me to keep a sort of outline in my head and pay attention more to names and places. Secondly, I liked how the Captivating History authors were able to weave the lifestyle, geographic, and religious aspects in with the many different historical cultural viewpoints. I think that is the main reason I learned so much more than I had before.
Thank you Captivating History! I'm on to my next book.
Really awesome listen!

The Crusades book is very good for giving you a clear and memorable feel for the scope and framing context of each of the crusades. The sweep of history over the time period of these movements is well orchestrated and you are left with a distinct impression of how each crusade developed. The narration is good at weaving together the kings, popes, sultans, and peoples that joined in or resisted each crusade. The telling is frank and shows how these ranged from religiously inspired ventures, to unapologetic attempts at conquest, to sectarian squabbles.
The second book (Silk Road) should really be called The Mongolian Empire and the Silk Road. Most of the book is the history of the Mongolian empire's history as it relates to the growth of east-west trade. The great khans of the empire expanded the range of their control and allowed such trade to prosper.
Two books in one really - both good
