Good summary

pretty good quick review, but some questionable assertions, like that second atomic bomb at Nagasaki was necessary for Japanese to surrender.

Fills the gaps for me.

What did you like best about this story?

my ability to listen with advanced time delivery thus enabling more information in a briefer period

Any additional comments?

I very much like these History in and Hour presentations. They give me the basic facts to which I can add additional information as I wish.

Very good, quick revision

This is an excellent overview for anyone who wants a summary of key events into which they can slot all the details they might have learned previously.

It strikes a good balance between creating a coherent narrative but still including surprisingly comprehensive information for such a short recording.

It's also a very fair price.

More of these "history in an hour" productions would be very welcome!
