Customer Reviews
Excellently researched and delivered
A very well researched history of a very interesting time. The delivery is professional and full of interesting anecdotes.
Great deep dive into a subject I’ve been wanting to know more about for years
Great job here. I’ve never quite gotten around to reading one of the myriad books available on the life of Napoleon. At first I thought I would just watch a YouTube video but I’m glad that I didn’t because I stumbled across this. Episodes are the perfect length for my commute so I go through 2/3 per day. Was a bit daunting to see the amount of episodes available but by the time I reached the French Revolution part and he said that he was originally planning to do it all in one episode but changed his mind and expanded it I was overjoyed. Still going, but already can highly recommend. Thank you.
