Dave Jacobs –
Awesome. Enlightening and horrifying. Should be required to ingratiate our current populace to the sacrifice to avert totalitarianism.
Joseph Davis –
Dan Carlin’s hardcore history sagas are amazing. They’re enlightening and entertaining and some times even funny despite the subject matter. Keep it up Dan. P.S. Do a series on either the U.S. civil war or the Rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte please.
Kyle Scot –
This is quite possibly one of the best telling of the story of the First World War I have ever found. As we have reached the 100th anniversary of the conflict, and the people who lived though it have become nothing but vague memories for most, we need this story told. As Dan Carlin says multiple times throughout this series, the aftereffects of this War are still rippling through the modern world. We would be best served by learning about it, so we can best avoid it happening again.
The way the story is told in this series is very compelling and it really drives the point home regarding the horror and suffering of the soldiers and civilians who were forced to endure it.
Lionel Trebuchon –
Absolutely great.
Diverse in the sceneries, rich in the topics, objective in the evaluation, and yet passionating.
Puts the 1st world war in another light than that taught by the school, at least in France.
Only missing to me was a small chapter about the consequences, Versailles treaty en tête.
