The Roman Empire

The author's philosophy of history and his elevation of historiography is a great match for the quantity of his subject, Rome, and the processes of human nature.

Doesn’t really give much information about the subject

The book addresses the before and after of the dark ages. Some parts of it are interesting
The irony might be that it might hard to write a book about the dark ages because .. it was dark, and there is very little information

I found it okay, not the best one.

I actually haven't seen around to listening all of it yet, but the pieces I've listened to were okay. It didn't interest me as much as I thought it would.

Interesting book with insightful parallels

Since this is a commonly shared comparison it will not due to comment. However, the audible is well addressed and thoughtfully compiled.
History and insight are hallmarks to an interesting subject.

Superb classic

This is an amazing accumulation of the works of Captivating History in an easy to understand way, The Dark Ages.
