This is not a history of Mitary music but rather than a badly produced, researched and terriblely narrated fudge of basic musical facts some of which are true and some not ! It almost entirely focuses on US music and has been put together with a selection of music . However some pieces of music are performed so badly it makes you wonder why they was selected in the first place as they are so bad! overall a really bad purchase and best to steer well clear of this terrible audio !!!!

REALLY BAD !!!!!!
