Summary
How did we get here, to this time and place in history? Are we repeating history's mistakes because we did not learn about the pivotal events that shaped the modern world?
This three-book history course helps you quickly understand the nuances and the impact of three crucial periods portrayed in countless films: the Crusades and of the rise and fall of two great empires, the Roman and British.
The culture, technology, law, and military organization of the Roman Empire shaped western civilization. Determined to spread their rule, the Romans succeeded magnificently until human nature and other factors led to the empire's collapse.
Were current relationships between Christians and Muslims determined when the knights of the Crusades rode off on their grand quest?
By the beginning of the 20th century, the British Empire and its superior navy claimed territory larger than that of any other empire in history, but its overreach foretold its downfall. This insightful and critically acclaimed history of the British Empire spans from the 17th century to contemporary time and combines comprehensive scholarship with popular history.

Awful narration was too off putting for me.
It's probably just me, but I couldn't get any further than the introduction because of the speaking style of the narrator.
Have a listen to a sample first because you'll probably be fine, but if you're like me you'll find his American pronunciation of European places and words jarring.
