Profile Image for Andrew Chambers

History everyone should know.

Obviously very interesting to hear the events from start to finish. The loss of life is unbelievable and no words can describe the sense of loss. The narration lacks any depth and you can hear lots of inserting of place names as if the whole thing was done by AI.
