In a nutshell
I wanted to get an overview and the key facts and was delivered exactly this.. It also allows me a road map to follow if I wished to go further . The reader's pace is perfect for me and his tone is like Chopin varied and accessible. A great series

wrong narrator?
This weekend I listened to Charles I in which an American narrator mispronounced almost everything and now The American Civil war in which an Englishman mispronouced a number of American nouns. why not switch the narrators? just saying.
