Although the length of time it took to listen to this book was over 23 hours… I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. From the content to the magnificent narrations, this is a Masterwork of historical philosophy

If you enjoy learning about history, you will love this insightful book. The author does a fantastic job explaining history through the lens of narrative from a sky high perspective and mixes just enough humor along the way. Highly recommend

Any one of the great courses that is taught by Rufus J Fears is worth listening too. He is one of the most talented instructors I have ever listen to. He passed away a few years ago, so these classes archive the work of a genius.

This was not quite the book I thought it was going to be. It constantly uses the Bible as the reason for his logic. The problem with using the Bible as a source of truth is that it is stuck using a circular reasoning. “This fact is true because the Bible told me so. How do you know what is said in the Bible is true? Because it’s the Bible written by God.”
If you can look past this, it’s a good book

I bought this book because of the Amazon algorithm suggested I’d like it, I looked at it a thought I’d give it a listen. I had no idea how much I’d enjoy this book. It was so good I had to find out who the author was, and it turns out the author is the history professor at Hillsdale college. (Which makes total sense).
The epilogue alone is worth a standing ovation!

If you can get past the snooty sounding narrator (you can literally hear his nose up in the air like he thinks he’s better than you) then this is an very good simplification of Aristotle’s ideas.

This book is worth the read, but be warned… it is incredibly in depth and takes a lot of insurance to get through. Also the first third of the book is all about antisemitism, which I understand played a roll in the totalitarianism of the last century, but still felt overdone with this book.

The Screwtape letters is a classic, but add the incredible talents of a master in his craft Joss Ackland and it becomes transcendent.

There are some very valuable insights in this book about the parallels of our time with the communist Russian past. The only issue I had was just how religious the book is bent. If you can get past that, it’s a great read.
