À propos de cet audio
An exploration of the British monarchy from the retreat of the Romans up until the modern day.
The monarchy is one of Britain’s longest surviving institutions – as well as one of its most tumultuous and revered. In this masterful book, David Starkey looks at the monarchy as a whole, charting its history from Roman times, to the Wars of the Roses, the chaos of the Civil War, the fall of Charles I and Cromwell's emergence as Lord Protector – all the way up until the Victorian era when Britain’s monarchs came face-to-face with modernity.
This brilliant collection of biographies of Britain’s kings and queens provides an in-depth examination of what the British monarchy has meant, what it means now and what it will continue to mean.

False advertising at its finest
The audiobook does not follow the book (which I have) so firstly it's not unabridged. Secondly, it often skips over several lines, if not paragraphs of information and sometimes pages (worst was when it skipped over 5 complete pages of information). The narration itself isn't bad but the way the audiobook is structured was awful. The chapters necessarily aren't even chapters (let alone accurately divided) and often end off in the middle of a paragraph abruptly with the next "chapter" continuing on from where it left off. The actual book itself is amazing but it's a shame to see such a work horribly structured and pathetically abridged.
