Historia
The 14th century reflects two contradictory images: on the one hand, a glittering time of crusades and castles, cathedrals and chivalry, and the exquisitely decorated Books of Hours; and on the other, a time of ferocity and spiritual agony, a world of chaos and the plague.

Historia
For more than 1,000 years, Christians and Muslims lived side by side, sometimes at peace and sometimes at war. When Christian armies seized Jerusalem in 1099, they began the most notorious period of conflict between the two religions. Depending on who you ask, the fall of the holy city was either an inspiring legend or the greatest of horrors. In Crusaders, Dan Jones interrogates the many sides of the larger story, charting a deeply human and avowedly pluralist path through the crusading era.

Historia
When the once-mighty city of Rome was sacked by barbarians in 410 and lay in ruins, it signaled the end of an era—and the beginning of a thousand years of profound transformation. In a gripping narrative bursting with big names—from St Augustine and Attila the Hun to the Prophet Muhammad and Eleanor of Aquitaine—Dan Jones charges through the history of the Middle Ages. Powers and Thrones takes listeners on a journey through an emerging Europe, the great capitals of late Antiquity, as well as the influential cities of the Islamic West.

Historia
Sixteen hundred years ago Britain left the Roman Empire and swiftly fell into ruin. Grand cities and luxurious villas were deserted and left to crumble, and civil society collapsed into chaos. Into this violent and unstable world came foreign invaders from across the sea, and established themselves as its new masters. The Anglo-Saxons traces the turbulent history of these people across the next six centuries. It explains how their earliest rulers fought relentlessly against each other for glory and supremacy, and then were almost destroyed by the onslaught of the vikings.

Historia
The Napoleonic Wars saw fighting on an unprecedented scale in Europe and the Americas. It took the wealth of the British Empire, combined with the might of the continental armies, almost two decades to bring down one of the world's greatest military leaders and the empire that he had created. Napoleon's ultimate defeat was to determine the history of Europe for almost 100 years. From the frozen wastelands of Russia, through the brutal fighting in the Peninsula to the blood-soaked battlefield of Waterloo, this book tells the story of the dramatic rise and fall of the Napoleonic Empire.

In 1307, as they struggled to secure their last strongholds in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Templars fell afoul of the vindictive and impulsive king of France. On Friday, October 13, hundreds of brothers were arrested en masse, imprisoned, tortured, and disbanded amid accusations of lurid sexual misconduct and heresy. They were tried by the Vatican in secret proceedings. But were they heretics or victims of a ruthlessly repressive state?

Rejecting fragmented histories of nations in the making, this bold revision surveys the shared institutions that bridged difference and distance to bring stability and meaning to the far-flung empire. By supporting new schools, law courts, and railroads along with scientific and artistic advances, the Habsburg monarchs sought to anchor their authority in the cultures and economies of Central Europe. A rising standard of living throughout the empire deepened the legitimacy of Habsburg rule.

This insightful look at the life of Henry V and the Battle of Agincourt casts new light on a period in history often held up as legend. A great English hero, Henry V was lionized by Shakespeare and revered by his countrymen for his religious commitment, his sense of justice, and his military victories. Here, noted historian and biographer Ian Mortimer takes a look at the man behind the legend and offers a clear, historically accurate, and realistic representation of a ruler who was all too human.

The Roman empire was like no other. Stretching from the north of Britain to the Sahara, and from the Atlantic coast to the Euphrates, it imposed peace and prosperity on an unprecedented scale. Its only true rival lay in the east, where the Parthian and then Persian empires ruled over great cities and the trade routes to mysterious lands beyond. Tracing seven centuries of conflict between Rome and Persia, historian Adrian Goldsworthy shows how these two great powers evolved together

Brunhild was a foreign princess, raised to be married off for the sake of alliance-building. Her sister-in-law Fredegund started out as a lowly palace slave. And yet - in sixth-century Merovingian France, where women were excluded from noble succession and royal politics was a blood sport - these two iron-willed strategists reigned over vast realms, changing the face of Europe.

The Roman Republic was one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of civilization. After its founding in 509 BCE, the Romans refused to allow a single leader to seize control of the state and grab absolute power. The Roman commitment to cooperative government and peaceful transfers of power was unmatched in the history of the ancient world. But by the year 133 BCE, the republican system was unable to cope with the vast empire Rome now ruled.

Resumen del Editor
With subtlety and exceptional sensitivity, Oldenbourg analyzes the complicated tangle of currents and ideas that motivated the Crusades. As Oldenbourg describes them, the Crusades were not simply a religious phenomenon, nor were they motivated by pure aggression. They were the result of a religious climate that led people of all walks of life to leave their homes and follow the unattainable ideal of heaven on earth. Oldenbourg evokes the entire structure of feudal society and reveals the ingenuity of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. The story is peopled with such great personalities as Bohemond, Tancred, Peter the Hermit, Godfrey of Bouillon, Saladin, and Richard the Lionheart.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Why is The Book of Enoch so important to anyone interested in Biblical history? The answer is simple: It is directly quoted in the New Testament by Jude (vv.14-15). Themes of the book referenced in 2 Peter 2:1. Jesus also used content from The Book of Enoch in many of his sermons in Matthew and Luke. In this text, you will hear the word of God through this amazing document. We will take this amazing journey together and learn why this text is not an official book of the Bible.

The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

Historia
Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Historia
The secret to happiness is to acknowledge and transform suffering, not to run away from it. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh offers practices and inspiration transforming suffering and finding true joy. Thich Nhat Hanh acknowledges that because suffering can feel so bad, we try to run away from it or cover it up by consuming. We find something to eat or turn on the television. But unless we’re able to face our suffering, we can’t be present and available to life, and happiness will continue to elude us.

A serious history of the first 3 crusades
This is a serious history of the first three crusades. It gives a very detailed look at the way things happened at that time. To its credit, this work does not attempt to judge the crusades by today's sentiments as so many casual observers of the crusades do. Still there are some comparisons with modern times but not in an attempt to pass judgment.
The listener may benefit from reading less detailed works about the crusades before wading into this book because s/he would at least be familiar with the major places and names and could then listen to this work to to fill in colorful details and minor events and personalities.

A very detailed account of the first three crusade
I must say, this is a lovely and detailed book as well as insightful and descriptive. However detailed description in this case is a double edged sword. I found it enjoyable, but I believe it could be too monotonous, in my opinion, the content of the book could be wrapped up in 14 hours, but because of the descriptive narrative, it was dragged on for 24 hours. This volume is overall, very enjoyable and accurate as far as the social condition of the 11-13 century Europe and Middle East.

Vigorous narrative, incomplete
It took me a couple of tries to get through Oldenbourg's history of the Crusades. She begins and ends her account with several chapters of social history and analysis; when I first tried to listen, I found myself wanting her to ditch the peasant farmers of France and get ON with it.
The second time around, I was less hurried and was able to listen to these chapters with pleasure. And she does, eventually, get on with it, providing a vigorous, anecdote-rich history of the first three Crusades. The military action develops clearly and vividly, and the background chapters are useful in understanding how Europe and the East came to blows in the way they did. It's a good overview.
Oldenbourg chooses to focus almost entirely on the rise and fall of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the other crusader kingdoms - "Outremer," or "Over the Sea," as they were known. This focus helps to explain, in two crucial areas, the choices she made, choices that I think weaken the book.
First, why only three Crusades? I would have preferred to see the story continued at least through the fourth Crusade, when the Western Europeans sacked their former ally, Constantinople; but that Crusade has little to do with Jerusalem. It's a reasonable approach, but it leaves out one of the more interesting campaigns (not to mention a generous helping of irony).
Second, while the main action was happening in Palestine, there were auxiliary conflicts in other areas, especially during the Second Crusade. There were campaigns against Muslims in Spain, against pagan tribes in Northern Germany, against fellow Christians - "heretics" - in southern France. Oldenbourg covers almost none of this.
Another aspect of the book that troubled me is a curious anti-feminist slant to some of the narrative. For example, Melisende, one of the queens of Jerusalem, gets especially negative treatment for trying to meddle in politics. The picture of her given by Oldenbourg is 180 degrees from that given by Jonathan Phillips in his excellent one-volume history, Holy Warriors. Phillips devotes a whole chapter to Melisende, titled “A Woman of Unusual Wisdom and Discretion.”
Those reservations aside, it is, as I said, a good overview. And Nadia May is, as always, an energetic reader, someone who is able to bring a lightness of tone to her narration that in some mysterious way, probably known only to her, complements the seriousness of the narrative.

Very detailed, but most of the time very dry
Would you try another book from Zoë Oldenbourg and/or Nadia May?
Depending on the subject matter
Would you recommend The Crusades to your friends? Why or why not?
Most of my friends aren't interested in history the way I am, but assuming I had some who were I would probably do so, but make sure to tell them that most of the book is very dry.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Nadia May?
Yeah, I guess.
Did The Crusades inspire you to do anything?
No
Any additional comments?
The book is very long which is good. It's very detailed. The descriptions of the battles are great. It could have been better. Maybe better imagery and a bit shorter. The last chapter went back over everything which isn't a bad idea, but just seemed to drag on. I'm glad I got it. It taught me a lot but for those who aren't really interested in this time, this isn't the book for you at all.

She does justice to history
A true classic of history, this great work by Oldenbourg seems a lasting treasure. She seems to have a familiarity with the mindset of the 11th century crusading Norman, the Byzantine, the Syrian Jacobite, the Armenian, the Turkoman, and the Moslem, from the peasant to Saladin himself. She takes us on a whirlwind tour of Syria in these fascinating decades of back-and-forth struggle, elucidating the motivations of the struggle, whether chivalrous, religious, or barbaric. This book is just as important for understanding the East as a history of the middle ages is for understanding the west.

Performance and production worst I have heard
I was really looking forward to this book. The text is excellent. But the narrator takes long pauses every paragraph as if it is the end of a chapter and the audio keeps cutting in and out. I have never had such a bad recording from audible. It is really a shame as the book is very well researched and written.

Unbelievably Good! (Love the Narration as well!)
Would you consider the audio edition of The Crusades to be better than the print version?
This is my first review on an audio book,,but I felt I really should write one seeing that this book only has 4 stars...as it is every bit a 5 star book in my honest estimation. As well, the narrator is just perfect! loved listening to her and she reads like she is the one who wrote the book..very good!
What other book might you compare The Crusades to and why?
I haven't ever read or watched a documentary on the Crusades as thorough and as good as this book .
What does Nadia May bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Very pleased with her reading and style..she read perfectly and sounded like she had even written the book. it was just perfect really. hope she narrates some more books that are this good .
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no,i wanted to re read it over and over..as I like to really get into every word of a book as good as this!
Any additional comments?
just extremely good...can't believe it only has 4 stars ...maybe my 5 star review will bump it up closer to where it belongs on the rating scale!

Interesting to listen to...but dated perspective
This is a great listen on the history of the Crusades. It is a large volume of information, and at times difficult to follow because of all the detail. I wish I had noticed the copyright date when I bought the book (1966), instead of just the audio copyright (1997)...This makes a world of difference in how an academic book like this is written/heard. The difference in the discussion of crusades since 9/11 and the whole perspective of Muslim relations and views of non Muslims are very different. However, this is an academic book, and the information of how the views at the time of each of the players is very helpful for understanding how we got in the position we are today.

Excellent Study of the Crusades
This is a well written book on the first three crusades that is in audio format. It is a good book to learn about the origins of the great clash, between the Islamic east and the Christian west, that is once again raging in the middle east. It is very informative and covers the subject quite well. I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book and recommend it to others as well.

Good for History
I wanted to learn and understand what in our history makes world so very angry with other religions and why so many people have such hatred for people who have a different religion then you do. This book is a little hard to follow as far as who the narrator is currently talking about, but it does give me great insight in to why the three main religions of the world fight so much over the holy land. I personally do not feel the hatred of the other religions that are different them mind. As I feel we should all LOVE everyone, but this book makes me understand why the angry is so very strong after 2000 years of fight over the holy land. It is hard to understand how so many kings fought wars believing that GOD wanted them to do so. Great book to understand the history of the holy land and the Crusades that have control this land for so very long. I can only pray for PEACE in the world & the holy land as I love all religion and respect them very much.
