What's great about watching history play out is feeling like you understand it better thru people and how they see and deal with it. This series does it right. Even if you don't like "Spy" movies, this is about the people and what choices they make or don't make, the things they do to further the history or follow the tide that pulls them. I also feel like it doesn't just focus on the big names we know like Washington, this focuses on the locals in a small section, but influences the greater part. I really enjoyed the first three seasons and I'm now working on the 4th.

Spectacular New Perspective

One of the greatest failures of our education system is its inability to make history interesting enough that people want to learn it so that we can stop repeating it. Then, we have Erik Larson. His brilliant writing technique turns dull historical facts into a story that forces you to continue turning the pages. Truly spectacular perspective of Churchill and those closest to him during a truly dark time in history. Also, a great glimpse of the German leaders as well. I'm truly looking forward to the next book of his I've ordered... and others after that. I think this should be a guide on how to bring history to a level that people can connect with.
