Historia
In 1528, a mission set out from Spain to colonize Florida. But the expedition went horribly wrong: Delayed by a hurricane, knocked off course by a colossal error of navigation, and ultimately doomed by a disastrous decision to separate the men from their ships, the mission quickly became a desperate journey of survival. Of the 300 men who had embarked on the journey, only four survived - three Spaniards and an African slave.

Historia
This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Historia
In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh’s army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians.

In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened.

Listening to this audiobook felt like embarking on a thrilling time travel adventure, guided by Dominic Hayes's compelling storytelling. This audiobook unravelled France's rich tapestry from its enigmatic Celtic beginnings, through the dramatic epochs of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, right up to the throes of modernity. Hayes has a knack for making history come alive, weaving facts with vivid narrative that captivated me every step of the way. As someone deeply fascinated by my French heritage, I was delighted by the deep dives into the nation's transformation under Roman rule, the tumult of revolutions, and the cultural explosions that shaped the France we know today. This isn't just another history book; it's a journey through time, rendered in such detail and enthusiasm that it's impossible not to be drawn in. Whether you're a history buff or just casually curious about how France became the beacon of culture and politics it is, this audiobook is an absolute gem.

Viva la France!!
I am actually from France, so I was very excited to listen to this audiobook about our rich history. I have listened to other audiobooks from Dominic Hayes and they are always exceptionally done. In this audiobook, Hayes brings tons of insight and information to the listener about the Pre-Roman landscape, the grip of Rome, the impact of Romes collapse, war, plagues, and so much more! I enjoyed this book very much and I am sure you will too!

Outstanding book!
I am about to head to France this spring and not only did I want to prep on the touristy stuff but I also wanted a some background on the history and culture. I have always been a bit of a Francophile so this book was perfect. French history is fascinating and this book was thorough, engaging and digestible. Would recommend!
