not enough detail and incorrect facts
the readers voice is too monotone to maintain continued interest .any of the stories lack sufficient details and also some incorrect statements e.g without America joining in , the 2nd World War would not have been won. Sorry but Russia would have done the job on their own if they d have had to .

disappointed, not what I hoped for
"battles that changed history" suggests that as the listener, we may learn a little about how each battle actually changed history.
The reality is that this book reads like a short wikipedia version of who's who within all recorded battles.
I suspect most people who buy this book like me already have a broadbrush knowledge of battles so repeating the highlights has taught me nothing new. surely the author has wasted an opportunity here.
