SAVAGE CONTINENT Europe in the Aftermath of World War II

For many people, the end of WWII brings to mind wild celebrations, relief, and a return to a normal civilian life. This book focuses on the other story: the devastation, political instability, disruption, and economic collapse that made the 10 years after the war so critical. Narrator John Lee’s refined British accent, excellent diction, and precise pacing make this book a must-read for both the history aficionado and the general reader. Lee uses his voice to guide listeners through the myriad stories of post-war Europe, helping listeners follow the author’s points with confidence. He also brings a variety of European accents to the work, which deepen our understanding and enliven the text. Lee reminds us that a great narrator can positively influence how we experience a work.
