Great for getting the Big Picture
This podcast is a great overview of the history of Western Europe / the Middle East. It sketches out broad-scale relationships and developments leading up to each battle, with relatively little focus on the battlefield itself (some might not like that). I kept having "aha" moments when Carl would articulate a point that is probably basic knowledge to a real historian, but for me helped put events into perspective. Gentle, laconic narrative style may take some getting used to.Read full review »

More reviews of A History of Europe, Key Battles
Great podcast. It's really about the political impact of great battles more than the tactics of the battles themselves. But I prefer this and have learned a lot from the podcast.Read full review »

A creative way to explore history. While the "key battle" is the goal, the journey to get there is the adventure. This podcast takes you into the social and cultural history that leads to the "key battle" and in the process we all learn. Thanks for the work.Read full review »
