OBLIVION OR GLORY 1921 and the Making of Winston Churchill

Gerard Doyle narrates this work of nonfiction, which details one year in the life of Winston Churchill. For most people, one year is not worthy of a 10-hour audiobook, but there are few people like Churchill, and there is nothing in this audiobook that feels like it could be cut. Doyle's narration sounds like a documentary voice-over or a history professor giving an engaging lecture. The level of detail in this audiobook demands an attentive and engaging narrator who passionately describes the events as though he were Churchill himself. Doyle's passion and commanding voice make this a worthwhile listen for any history lover or even a reluctant history student. A.R.F. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2020]
