About this listen

 The English-speaking peoples comprise perhaps the greatest number of human beings sharing a common language in the world today. These people also share a common heritage. For his four-volume work, Sir Winston Churchill took as his subject these great elements in world history. Volume 1 commences in 55 BC, when Julius Caesar famously "turned his gaze upon Britain" and concludes with the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.Don't miss the rest of the titles in this great series!

    Fascinating, well written, amazing voice acting;

    This was good in every way, except it almost completely concentrates on the royalty of the time. Churchill makes it clear that the situation in the country side, and the evolution of technology, government, and social structure among the commoners of England seemed to have played a huge roll in the destiny of Britain. And yet, he barely talks about what was going on there and how that all arose. Instead the entire story is about the nobility and the family feuds they had. Non the less, it is so well written that it is fascinating.

    Also the performance by Christian Rodska was amazing. One of the best I've ever heard.

We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
