Hourly History

A very brief overview of the war; it's causes, biggest fights and personalities, and eventual outcome. This was stock textbook material, but a good read for somebody who has not studied this war. It was a freebie from Audible, 1 hour 33 mins.

A Brief Overview of the life of Audrey Hepburn from her WWII childhood, her early modeling and the plays she starred in. We also get an overview of her movies, her romances, marriages and latter her humanitarian works. Pick this book up for its briefness and for the facts presented.

As stated on the cover this is only meant to be a primer that covers a whole civilisation in a 60 minute read. That said, I felt this book didn’t quite achieve its aim. It appears that as much is unknown of this ancient civilisation and much is based on theories, this brief summary while giving an outline of key points failed to convey a clear cohesive view of the Hittites.

A very brief, sparsely detailed and struggling-to-be-inoffensive account of the background of the pilgrim and puritan settling of New England. As a booklet for American junior secondary students, probably warrants a 3/5. For everyone else, a rating of 1 fits.
