Glad my kids didn
This Merriman character is a poster boy for anyone wanting to discredit the quality of the Yale history department. I have tried, believe me I've tried, to listen to these lectures, but it's simply nauseating. It's anecdotal at best ... nothing of substance here. The most damning comment I can think of is Merriman's attempts to impress his students with his fluency in all things French. Oh yes, everything seems to be related to where he claims to have an apartment in Paris, or a house in the country, and his feeble attempts to sound fluent in the language of Molière. This guy is a fake, a waste of time, and a discredit to an otherwise noble institution.

More reviews of France Since 1871 - Audio
Want to rate this higher but the audio is ridiculously low- makes this unlistenable if there is any background noise, and requires your speaker at full tilt to hear it.

I am enjoying this. I do understand the complaints that others have made; but forewarned is forearmed I suppose. I do, at times, feel as if I'm listening to Jeff Goldblum lecturing...

Anecdotal and idiosyncratic. Difficult to listen to. The video did not show the slides which detracted from the series. Should have been much better as the professor is passionate & knowledgeable but came across as story telling.
