Publisher's summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of Vlad the Impaler, then pay attention...

The bulk of the audiobook will deal with what Vlad’s political career looked like, what wars he waged, and how his life eventually ended. But we’ll go one step beyond and cover some areas that historians don’t typically focus on. In addition to raw facts, we’ll also focus on what Vlad III’s character was, what drove him forward, and what his chief traits might have been. In addition, we will give a much-needed focus on his successors and what life was like in Wallachia after his passing.

Furthermore, you’ll also get a glimpse into some of the most popular myths and legends about Vlad III, some of which were written and passed on by both his supporters and his bitter enemies. All of these are needed to get as complete an image of Vlad as possible, which will help us understand what kind of man he was and what kind of impact his life had on those around him, as well as those who came after him.

My fave of all historical accounts of Prince Vlad

I’ve read countless books on the incredible life of Vlad Dracula III, and this one was the best. Pacing was perfect and the information was clear, succinct, and well presented. Have to also compliment the reader as his annunciations were so well done and I just loved his overall style. Will look for other books narrated by him. If you wanna learn the true history of Vlad Dracula III. This book is the ideal starting point!

Light and Blessings,
Daimon

Not what I thought it was going to be...

Believed would be an in-depth look at his psychology. This was more about history and wars and battles.
