If anyone is in need for a "short" history of 14th century Europe, this should be it. From Pulitzer-Prize winning historian Barbara Tuchman, this book pretty much covers the notable events during the Middle Ages: the Black Plague, the Hundred Years' War, the papal schism, the civilian uprisings, the knights' crusades, etc. Narrative is centered around French noble Enguerrand de Coucy and his contemporaries.That's 170 audio files of 10 minutes each. Almost thirty hours of Bluetooth audio driving to and from work. Beats listening to the pop stations on the FM radio.
