WORLDS AT WAR The 2,500-Year Struggle Between East and West

The author examines the causes of war and the effects of those conflicts on civilizations from the beginning of recorded history to the present. He justifies his opinion that a clash of religions has caused most of them. Narrator John Lee elevates the author's concentrated delivery of information, making this a listenable experience with his ability to modulate and emphasize his speech. Such a worldly journey presents Lee with a formidable vocabulary of foreign terms, but he remains forever fluent in all of them. His linguistic skill exemplifies how the comfort of a reader on an international sea of words can render an equivalent pleasure to the listener. Lovers of historical exploration in literature will appreciate this audiobook's happy marriage of information and presentation. J.A.H. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2008]
