[Eoin Flynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

An audiobook for once. A lecture series. Not terribly well delivered by the speaker but the content it's excellent. Admirably unbiased history. An excellent primer for anyone interested in the topic.

[Wesley Andrews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Extremely well organized, and clearly delivered. This lecture series is a true gift to the unenlightened. Thank you, Professor Yaqub!
