Interesting but too short.(One CD) Thought I have listened or read all McCullough's books I just enjoy his presentations and will welcome his next book.

This lecture breifly touches on our history but serves more as a pep-rally for historians who understand the importance of history but are needing a new approach to convincing the rest of the world how important history is to our every day lives.
