  Niebuhr's Lectures On Roman History V3 (1875) is a book written by Barthold Georg Niebuhr, a German historian and statesman considered one of the founders of modern historical scholarship.  
  Note This audio edition is abridged but is the only one of it's kind at this time. 
  The book is the third volume in a series of lectures on the history of ancient Rome, and covers a period from the end of the Second Punic War to the death of Julius Caesar. 
  In this volume, Niebuhr provides a detailed account of the political, social, and cultural developments of the Roman Republic during this period. He examines the rise of powerful political figures such as Scipio Africanus, Marius, and Sulla, and their impact on the Roman state. He also analyzes the social and economic changes that occurred during this time, including the growth of the Roman economy and the emergence of new social classes. 
  Throughout the book, Niebuhr draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts and archaeological evidence, to provide a comprehensive and nuanced view of Roman history. He also offers his own insights and interpretations, making the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ancient Rome. 
  Nonetheless, Niebuhr's Lectures On Roman History V3 (1875) is a well-researched and informative book that provides a fascinating look at one of the most important periods in Roman history 
  In this volume the narrator edited some portions out and  Niebuhr's research and commentary extends to the reign of Vitellius. If you are a fan of the series Rome or a graduate student or a person who enjoys evaluating events and sources objectively, then this audio volume is for you. Some of us are better learners using audio than the printed versions.

  Thomas Jefferson Survives -...

  “Does Thomas Jefferson still matter?” ask two leading historians on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. 
    
  Thomas Jefferson has been reinvented more than perhaps any American president in history. In the nineteenth century, slavery’s defenders invoked Jefferson’s defense of states’ rights while abolitionists drew on his antislavery writings in support of their cause. After the Civil War, Jefferson’s reputation declined because of his association with secession and disunion, but in the twentieth century, his image soared as he came to embody the democratic values America fought for during World War II.  
    
  Unsurprisingly, Jefferson’s legacy has shifted yet again in the twenty-first century, effectively becoming a partisan talisman—jettisoned by the left as a plantation patriarch and repurposed by the right as an avatar of white nationalism. Dissatisfied with these political caricatures and manic swings, leading Jefferson scholars Peter S. Onuf and Francis D. Cogliano instead situate the founding father in his complicated historical context and reveal how his wisdom can be applied today.  
    
  In a series of three interrelated essays, the authors paint a nuanced portrait. “Generations” elucidates how Jefferson’s understanding of history shaped his responses to the major problems of his time. “My Country” delves into how he conceived of the American homeland, and “The People” unravels how Jefferson articulated a new national identity in the Declaration of Independence.  
    
  Taken together, Thomas Jefferson Survives demonstrates how even amid crisis, Jefferson managed to articulate a capacious and optimistic vision for the future of the American people. As Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed writes in her foreword, “As much as Jefferson reflected the often-benighted times in which he lived, he rose above them in ways that have a great deal to tell us about the political straits in which we find ourselves.” After all, Jefferson knew better than anyone that 1776 was an important moment, but not the only moment, for Americans to write a better future. 
    
  “A powerful argument for the continuing importance of Thomas Jefferson in our troubled and turbulent times. These two great scholars of Jeffersonian America, using Jefferson’s belief in generational sovereignty and his utter faith in us, that is, the future generations of American people, have brilliantly described for us the various ways Jefferson still matters.”—Gordon Wood, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian and author of Friends Divided

  Medieval Bosnia: The Turbulent...

  Much has been written about Western intervention during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and whether it made matters worse, prevented worse atrocities, or was simply ineffective. In early 1992, however, what was clear was that Europe was hopelessly divided over the best course of action to take towards Yugoslavia, and after several years of fighting, the Bosnian War was one of the most violent conflagrations in Europe since the end of World War II.  
  That war had been the byproduct of centuries of tensions in the Balkans, and an attempt in the wake of World War I to redraw the political boundaries of Europe and the Middle East. That included forming the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, initially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, a particularly fragile enterprise, and there was almost constant tension between the majority Serbs and the other Yugoslav nationalities, especially the Croats.  
  Depending on the source, many authors have focused on different catalysts for Yugoslavia’s demise, but Vesna Drapac may have succinctly summed the situation up when he wrote that by the end, the state “lacked a reason to exist.” There is certainly something in this sentiment, but the disintegration came at an enormous cost. 
  Given what happened in Yugoslavia, it should be little surprise that Bosnia did not have its fully-established borders until the 19th century, and even in modern times, in many respects the people distinguished and defined Bosnia as a polity more than its shifting borders, and regardless of whether Bosnia operated as an independent state or kingdom. It was during the Middle Ages that Bosnia’s culture and ethnic makeup truly began to coalesce, despite the politically rocky nature of the era in the Balkans.
