Critic reviews

‘If the past is a foreign country, History in an Hour is like a high-class tour operator, offering delightfully enjoyable short breaks in the rich and diverse continent of our shared past’ Dominic Sandbrook

‘The practice of History is ever-evolving, and the History In An Hour idea brings it back up to date for the digital age’ Andrew Roberts, Bookseller

‘This is genius’ MacWorld.com

Left slant.

PC. It refers to white or Caucasians as Anglo-Americans. I am white but, I am a Celt not English. Too many hyphenated Americans. Many mispronounced place names. It did get it right that secession was about slavery.

Huh?

An American Civil War story performed by a Brit who mispronounces classic American history. Lacked substance as well.

What a miss!
