The big ones help keep me alert on my 11 hour drives to IU to see my son. And I adore the Great Courses too. I listen to them when I paint. We live in a great time, don't we?

I really enjoy the way he positions events from the past in a modern context that challenges you to think about the possible motivations that drove the events discussed.<br /><br />His series on the Mongol invasions and the battles against early Islam threw up some great thought provoking facts that have implications for the modern day struggle against Islamic fundamentalists and their thinking, not bad for a history podcast.<br /><br />Likewise his WWI series was a tour de force, particularly his description of the events in Sarjevo and the attack on the Archduke by the Black Hand. The description of the chance factors that led to the cataclysm of WWI was excellent.carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.com
