I was introduced to Hardcore Histroy by a friend who said I would like “Prophets of Doom.’ He wasn’t kidding.
This was my first saga of Dan’s I liistened to, not taking away anything from his others (Wrath of Khans, King of Kings, etc. which are amazing in their own right), but this was the series that left me wanting more (in a good way). Almost as if I couldn’t get enough, and encouraging me to do my own research on what Dan had to leave out (time is fickle mistress). I still listen to it from time to time and its just awe inspiring as the last time I listened.

I listened to the entire series in one week, could not get enough. Dan paints a beautiful and horrific image of each scene. For me, this was one of the greatest history lessons I’ve ever listened too. I wish my high school teacher way back when was this engaging. I have officially entered the hardcore history worm hole and love it.

The whole series is amazing. The life in the trenches and the horrors of the war are described so vividly that I can now understand how it might have been there. When I started I thought the series will include more military history information but I am now happy it revolved more around the human aspect rather than the cold historical facts

Excellent work. As this series has been described in other podcasts that Dan Carlin has appeared on, it’s really more of a 6 part audio book than what you might typically think of as a podcast. He draws from tons of outstanding primary sources and accounts from professional historians to craft a thrilling and engaging narrative about a time in history that is almost entirely overlooked in modern times despite its incredible impact on the world that still affects us today. Looking forward to digging into more of Dan’s history series.

I rarely give reviews for anything. All of his material is well researched, well produced, well thought out, and excellently narrated. Blueprint for Armageddon is what sealed the deal to purchase all of the episodes. It’s worth every cent paid and ever second listened.
