Living Biographies of Famous Rulers

Summary: Spectacular listening!
Review: Blackstone Audio has given me an assortment of Audio Books to review and each time I have thoroughly enjoyed what I heard. This audio book is certainly no exception to that rule. Living Biographies is a great look into 20 of the most famous rulers in history.

From the rise and fall of Solomon to Julius and Augustine Caesar and their reigns of power and conquest, you'll feel as if you are right there with them. Listen as Kubla Kahn takes the vicious Kahn tradition and becomes a more gentle ruler.

Hear how Henry VIII rids himself of his wives as he tires of them; hear how Queen Elizabeth rose to power and Catherine the Great takes control of the Russian empire. Listen as Montezuma and the Aztecs are invaded by Cortez.

Stories of Ivan the Terrible's reign of bloody terror to Stalin revolution to Mussolini's total dominance of Italy to Hitler's rule of mass genocide, you'll simply be amazed. The 6 1½ hour cassettes are easy to play while driving, making your trips go a little faster. Well done!
