The Black Death

A great book to reflect the time we are living in. highly recommend it.

A light and effective content

This is a good summary of this historical era for those who know little about it. It is to be expected that some listeners will go on to listen to more detailed histories of specific times or themes.

A good insight...

All in all excellent and it seemed to me very accurately and thoroughly researched, highly recommended.

Very good and very enjoyable

It can be a bit of an avid work for a non-European but for me it is excellent. A few pictorial examples would have improved it but it is very good as it stands.
