Enjoyed the history

I enjoyed this book. If it’s a topic you find interesting and you like history told in a direct factual way (without a lot of made up dialogue) it’s a very interesting listen. Zenobia has a decent voice to listen to and doesn’t make it monotone and boring like some other history books that have tended to put me to sleep. If you find the Crusades or the Silk Road you should enjoy this.

Romania lies on Europe’s eastern border, and as such, it is often neglected in history. Although it is a culturally very rich country, the world displayed little interest in its promotion. By listening to this captivating history of Romania, you will learn about the turbulent past of the region, the many wars it fought, and the people who led them. You will also learn the truth behind the character of Vlad the Impaler and decide for yourself if he was a ruthless, bloodthirsty ruler or a politician, tactician, and national hero.

Got this on a whim. Saw it and figured I don’t know much about Romanian history other than a few things. It was a well done book and as captivating as a factual history and pretty straight to the point book could be. I enjoyed it and learned a lot of things I wouldn’t have otherwise. I listened to it all in one day at work.
Admittedly I probably got it because of Vlad the Impaler being part of it and they covered him fairly well. Obviously he was a small part of Romanian history and was just a chapter in the book but learned a few details I wasn’t aware of before. I tend to like historical books that are, I guess, somewhat fictionalized and told through a dialogued story but this was a straight forward telling of historical events somewhat like a history class but one I didn’t fall asleep in. LOL
If you want to know about the history of Romania from before Ancient Rome to modern times it is worth the read or listen.
