OATHBREAKERS The War of Brothers That Shattered an Empire and Made Medieval Europe

An admittedly limited survey reveals that practically nobody knows who Charlemagne was, or even what millennium he belonged to. If nothing else, this audiobook will correct that. It will also clear up any misunderstandings concerning the purpose and whereabouts of the Holy Roman Empire--the two being, not coincidentally, closely bound. Narrator Paul Bellantoni, whose past subjects range from singer George Michael to the Thirty Years War, has the unique ability to make history sound like news--to embrace the spirit of a bygone time while making it sound current. He also effectively shades and enlivens this narrative. This is a rich and enriching history, informative, well researched, well written, and skillfully narrated.
