- Rambling
No tangible information. Much rambling. Commonly notes the role he or people he knows played in story. Adds unnecessary editorial comments. Cannot help but add unrelated digs at the US, the country where he obtained his degrees, employed him, and allowed him to do what he wants, including criticizing it constantly. Listening to him ramble reminds me why I did not major in history.

United States2 years ago - Decent lectures on France history

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.

On a deeper level, I went into these lectures with a philosopher’s systematizing and abstract inclinations and a p... more
Apple Podcasts5Mr. Podcast1234United States7 years ago - Encore!
Only 24 lectures? I want more! This is no dry, chronological recitation of events. This is a passionate, detailed and personal account of French history and culture. Some reviewers object to his political point of view. One of the things I love about France is that it is not a social faux pas to admit to having a political opinion. And it is nice to hear someone with a “far left” perspective, although he did not seem so far left to me. There are conservative historians out there. Alistair Horne,... more
