Resumen del Editor
Did you know modern-day Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is the first European city built with seismic safety in mind?
And there is a very good reason for that! In 1755, Portugal was hit by an earthquake that would measure nine on the future Richter scale.
Portugal, which is located in the Iberian Peninsula, has a rich history that dates to prehistoric times. The first settlers left amazing art behind in the form of rock carvings and rock monoliths. These first peoples never left their country, but were integrated into the many societies that came to Portugal over time.
Even though Portugal is probably best known for exploring the world during the Age of Discovery, the history of mainland Portugal is rarely described outside of the country. The purpose of this audiobook is to familiarize English speakers with the events and personas that built the Portuguese kingdom, its overseas empire, and the state that Portugal is today.
In this audiobook, you will learn:
- Who were the first people that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula?
- What was the early culture and religion of the peninsula?
- Which civilization first discovered the shores of Portugal?
- How did trade with the Phoenicians develop the culture of the indigenous people?
- How did the Carthaginian and Roman wars shape the Iberian Peninsula?
- Why did the Germanic tribes invade the peninsula?
- Did the Iberian Peninsula thrive under Islamic rule?
- Why did the Christian kings of the north launch the Iberian Reconquista?
- How did Afonso I form the medieval Kingdom of Portugal?
- How did the House of Avis rise to power and start the golden age of Portugal?
- Why has Portugal always struggled to preserve its independence?
- How did the empire end, and how did Portugal become a republic?

Emigration of people from Sicily often overshadows the importance of the people who immigrated to the island through the centuries. These have included several who became Sicily's rulers, along with Jews, Ligurians, and Albanians. Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Goths, Byzantines, Muslims, Normans, Hohenstaufens, Spaniards, Bourbons, the Savoy Kingdom of Italy and the modern era have all held sway, and left lasting influences on the island's culture and architecture.

Ukraine is currently embroiled in a tense fight with Russia to preserve its territorial integrity and political independence. But today's conflict is only the latest in a long history of battles over Ukraine's territory and its existence as a sovereign nation. As the award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues in The Gates of Europe, we must examine Ukraine's past in order to understand its present and future.

Ukraine is a geographically diverse country with the unfortunate fate of being sandwiched between empires. Though this is frequently explored no further than the global conflicts of the 20th century, in reality, Ukraine’s struggle for self-determination has far deeper roots than most people realize. See the splendor of the Kyivan Rus, gallop with the Golden Horde across the Ukrainian steppe, encounter the legendary Cossacks, and witness the terror of the tsars. From the Romans to the Mongols to the Russians, Ukraine has seen it all and remained uniquely Ukrainian through it all.

In just over a hundred years - from the death of Muhammad in 632 to the beginning of the Abbasid Caliphate in 750 - the followers of the Prophet swept across the whole of the Middle East, North Africa, and Spain. Their armies threatened states as far flung as the Franks in Western Europe and the Tang Empire in China. The conquered territory was larger than the Roman Empire at its greatest expansion, and it was claimed for the Arabs in roughly half the time.

The Story of Russia is about how the Russians defined themselves―and repeatedly reinvented such definitions along the way. Moving from Russia’s agrarian beginnings in the first millennium to subsequent periods of monarchy, totalitarianism, and perestroika, all the way up to Vladimir Putin and his use of myths of Russian history to bolster his regime, celebrated historian Orlando Figes examines the ideas that have guided the country’s actions.

The death of the Roman Empire is one of the perennial mysteries of world history. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Peter Heather proposes a stunning new solution: Centuries of imperialism turned the neighbors Rome called barbarians into an enemy capable of dismantling an Empire that had dominated their lives for so long. A leading authority on the late Roman Empire and on the barbarians, Heather relates the extraordinary story of how Europe's barbarians, transformed by centuries of contact with Rome on every possible level, eventually pulled the empire apart.

Favereau takes us inside one of the most powerful sources of cross-border integration in world history. The Horde was the central node in the Eurasian commercial boom of the 13th and 14th centuries and was a conduit for exchanges across thousands of miles. Its unique political regime - a complex power-sharing arrangement among the khan and the nobility - rewarded skillful administrators and diplomats and fostered an economic order that was mobile, organized, and innovative.

With commanding skill, Thomas R. Martin tells the remarkable and dramatic story of how a tiny, poor, and threatened settlement grew to become, during its height, the dominant power in the Mediterranean world for 500 years. Encompassing the period from Rome's founding in the eighth century BC through Justinian's rule in the sixth century AD, he offers a distinctive perspective on the Romans and their civilization by employing fundamental Roman values as a lens through which to view both their rise and spectacular fall.

The Holy Roman Empire lasted 1,000 years, far longer than ancient Rome. Yet this formidable dominion never inspired the awe of its predecessor. Voltaire quipped that it was neither holy, Roman, nor an empire. Yet as Peter H. Wilson shows, the Holy Roman Empire tells a millennial story of Europe better than the histories of individual nation-states.

Have you ever wondered what country had the first truly global empire? Then pay attention... Folks used to say that the “Sun never sets on the British Empire” as a means of declaring Britain’s greatness. But it was the Portuguese who forged the first truly global empire. The major dominions of the Portuguese wrapped around the globe in a straight line, from Brazil to Angola, from Mozambique to India, and all the way to Macau. With its dominion under multiple time zones, the Sun, in fact, never did set on the Portuguese Empire.

Throughout the Second World War, Lisbon was at the very center of the world’s attention and was the only European city in which both the Allies and the Axis powers openly operated. Portugal was frantically trying to hold on to its self-proclaimed wartime neutrality but in reality was increasingly caught in the middle of the economic, and naval, wars between the Allies and the Nazis. The story is not, however, a conventional tale of World War II in that barely a shot was fired or a bomb dropped. Instead, it is a gripping tale of intrigue, betrayal, opportunism, and double-dealing....

Historia
Have you ever wondered what country had the first truly global empire? Then pay attention... Folks used to say that the “Sun never sets on the British Empire” as a means of declaring Britain’s greatness. But it was the Portuguese who forged the first truly global empire. The major dominions of the Portuguese wrapped around the globe in a straight line, from Brazil to Angola, from Mozambique to India, and all the way to Macau. With its dominion under multiple time zones, the Sun, in fact, never did set on the Portuguese Empire.

Historia
Throughout the Second World War, Lisbon was at the very center of the world’s attention and was the only European city in which both the Allies and the Axis powers openly operated. Portugal was frantically trying to hold on to its self-proclaimed wartime neutrality but in reality was increasingly caught in the middle of the economic, and naval, wars between the Allies and the Nazis. The story is not, however, a conventional tale of World War II in that barely a shot was fired or a bomb dropped. Instead, it is a gripping tale of intrigue, betrayal, opportunism, and double-dealing....

Empires of the Sea tells the story of the 50-year world war between Islam and Christianity for the Mediterranean: one of the fiercest and most influential contests in European history. It traces events from the appearance on the world stage of Suleiman the Magnificent through "the years of devastation" when it seemed possible that Islam might master the whole sea, to the final brief flourishing of a united Christendom in 1571.

Historia
By the mid-15th century, the Byzantine Empire had collapsed and the various Crusades that had taken place in the region had largely disrupted the overland routes of the Silk Road and trade. Compounding the difficulties of trade was the rise of the Ottoman Empire in place of the Byzantines and the outbreak of the Black Death in Europe. This audiobook chronicles the early efforts by the Portuguese that helped initiate the Age of Exploration, and the ramifications the colonization had across the world.

Great summary
All was good when listening to this book I would’ve appreciated a little bit more of the current history. It dropped off at 1993 would be curious about the most recent 30 years.

Great for History Buffs!
This book did a very good and detailed job of covering most of Portuguese history. The narrator especially was my favorite part of this audiobook. I would have enjoyed this book better if I were to read it more often and take notes because there is a lot of different changes that occur throughout Portuguese history which also make it interesting. definitely recommend if you're looking for a book that gives you a solid overview of Portugal's past.

Good survey of Portuguese history
This is a good intro to Portuguese history. I shared it with a friend from Lisbon who agreed. It glosses over some things that Portugal people think mean more than the brief moment given in the book but they are very opinionated. That’s not the authors fault!!

more interesting than the empire one
much of this book was fairly good. I did find myself drifting, on occasion.
most major thing to note is that it appears the end of chapter 9 cuts off abruptly. I can only assume that it was the last word or words of the final sentence

Other part of the Iberian peninsula gets its due
This is a very good overview of Portuguese history and shows the complexity of its rise and fall as a world sea power. I enjoyed the contextualization of the Portugal's political situation in the greater picture of Spanish, Hapsburg, and other empires. I found the intricacies of the time when it was combined with the United Crown and how Portugal had varying degrees of autonomy throughout.
I was very happy to come to know the ancient history and various peoples that made up the cultural and political aspects that came to be the kingdom and country of Portugal.
Colin Fluxman's narration was enjoyable and engaging. (Although the ARC version I reviewed had a section missing - it has been fixed in the updated version).

Very Interesting Ride!
This is an expansive political history of Portugal from the earliest known periods to the present, with a cogent, reliable chronology of the various governments and rulers of Portugal, and the reasons for the various successive government schemes. We'll researched, and seems quite complete. Bravo!

Solid overview
Another reviewer commented that this is nothing more than a genealogical survey of the monarchies. I disagree. Monarchies play a big role in the history of most European countries, of course they are discussed heavily in this book. But the book is by no means focused only on monarchs and their families. It covers the significant events in Portugal's history equally well.
I had two reasons for reading this book. First, I am going to take a vacation to Portugal in 2023 (I live in the US), so I wanted an introduction to their history. Second, I am an avid reader of history books.
Most of the history books I read are giant tomes. The small size of this book makes it almost a pamphlet compared to many history books. In its 6-hour run time, however, it covers a lot of ground. It starts slowly with ancient history, but picks up steam as larger civilizations stake their claims on the Iberian Peninsula. I found the trading back and forth between the Christian and Muslim empires to be fascinating - sometimes wars were fought, and sometimes cities and regions were lost due to neglect and atrophy. Later, when Portugal was run by monarchs (both native and Spanish monarchs), there was plenty of drama to keep anyone interested in history entertained. Not to mention natural disasters, the Inquisition, and the plague. Big events, interesting stuff.
I would say the only shortcoming of this book is that it barely touched modern times. In essence, after Antonio Salazar's death (1970, he was an intellectual dictator, not a tyrant), the book says "and then there was democracy, NATO, and the UN, the end". That part felt very rushed.
If you prefer an in-depth book on Portugal, this isn't it. I don't think there is such a book on Audible. But for a quick overview, I strongly recommend it. I plan to listen to it a second time before I head to Portugal.

History of Portugal
I had no idea that the history of Portugal was so interesting. The chapter on the Reconquista was very interesting, I highly recommend this book.
