About this listen

 Award-winning historian Simon Schama completes his monumental three-volume history of Britain, which accompanies the acclaimed television epic. In The Fate of Empire, Schama illuminates the period of British history from 1770-2000 through a variety of historical themes, including the advance of technology and industry, women's increasing role in society and the burgeoning British Empire, and key British characters such as Wordsworth, Burke, Queen Victoria, Churchill, and George Orwell. Lesser-known lives are also illuminated, such as Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the first woman doctor; 'Mother' Mary Seacole, the forgotten Caribbean nurse and heroine of the Crimea War; and Dadabhai Naoroji, who, in 1890, became the first Asian MP.©2014 Audible, Inc.

All is good, except for the fact that there are no gaps between chapters. Tiles for the chapters would come in handy too.

I loved all 3 volumee of Scharma’s history. Timothy West read beautifully and the deprivation seemed balance on honest: We should make compulsory reading for all Brits.

A brilliant read

Overall the 3 version history was OK. Patchy coverage in some eras and concentrating on minor events and almost ignoring some far more important people and events. Taken as a whole should also be read/listened to with other histories to enable you to arrive at a more comprehensive and balanced view.

Patchy coverage.
