Between 1861 and 1865, the clash of the greatest armies the Western hemisphere had ever seen turned small towns, little-known streams, and obscure meadows in the American countryside into names we will always remember. In those great battles, those streams ran red with blood-and the United States was truly born.

What is Western Civilization? According to Professor Noble, it is "much more than human and political geography," encompassing myriad forms of political and institutional structures - from monarchies to participatory republics - and its own traditions of political discourse. It involves choices about who gets to participate in any given society and the ways in which societies have resolved the tension between individual self-interest and the common good.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 45
The struggle between Rome and Carthage in the Punic Wars was arguably the greatest and most desperate conflict of antiquity. The forces involved and the casualties suffered by both sides were far greater than in any wars fought before the modern era, while the eventual outcome had far-reaching consequences for the history of the Western World, namely the ascendancy of Rome. An epic of war and battle, this is also the story of famous generals and leaders: Hannibal, Fabius Maximus, Scipio Africanus, and his grandson Scipio Aemilianus, who would finally bring down the walls of Carthage.

Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) is generally regarded as the greatest intellectual ever to have appeared in the Arab world - a genius who ranks as one of the world's great minds. Yet the author of the Muqaddima, the most important study of history ever produced in the Islamic world, is not as well known as he should be, and his ideas are widely misunderstood. In this groundbreaking intellectual biography, Robert Irwin provides an engaging and authoritative account of Ibn Khaldun's extraordinary life, times, writings, and ideas.

The Roman Republic is one of the most breathtaking civilizations in world history. Between roughly 500 BCE to the turn of the millennium, a modest city-state developed an innovative system of government and expanded into far-flung territories across Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. This powerful civilization inspired America's founding fathers, gifted us a blueprint for amazing engineering innovations, left a vital trove of myths, and has inspired the human imagination for 2,000 years.

Description
By understanding the dramatic story of the Ottoman Empire - from its early years as a collection of raiders and conquerors to its undeniable power in the 15th and 16th centuries to its catastrophic collapse in the wreckage of the First World War - one can better grasp the current complexities of the Middle East.
Over the course of these 36 enlightening lectures, investigate over 600 years of history that covers the nature of Ottoman identity, the achievements of the Sultan's court, and stories of confrontation and cooperation with the West.
Befitting a story of such epic scope and grandeur, every lecture is a treasure trove of historical insights into the people, events, themes, and locales responsible for shaping the story of this often-overlooked empire. You'll cover everything from Rumi, the whirling dervishes, and the importance of the sultan's grand viziers to the wars of Sultan Suleiman I, the shadowy politics of the Committee of Union and Progress, and the birth of the Turkish Republic under Kemal Atatürk.
Welcome to a fascinating story of the triumph and tragedy, war and peace, intellectual progress and civil insurrection of a great empire that, for all its glory and grandeur, has left an important legacy that will shape the future of the Balkan nation-states, the Turkish Republic, and the Arab world - and those of us in the West as well.

A Fair History of the 500 year Ottoman Empire
As a Westerner I am trying to get a greater understanding of Islam history and culture. I knew very little about the Ottoman Empire. I learned a lot about the Empire and Islam but as a 'bonus' I also learned a lot about the Balkins, Austria- Hungarian Empire, Egypt , Greece, Armenia,Iran, Greek Orthodox Church, Russia, and modern day Turkey.

Terrific!
Really amazing story of a historical period with lots of lasting consequences to date. Kenneth Harl's mastery of the concepts, even those deep within the Islamic and Turkish traditions is really superb. And his narration brings everything to life as if you are watching a great series. I really enjoyed this and I'm kind of sad it's finished!

Professor Harl is a knowledgeable individual with unique insight, but his over-use of 'umm' and 'uh' was a little distracting. Overall an excellent and engaging series, I would recommend.

Good overview of the Ottoman Empire but somewhat biased
Overall excellent, but there are 2 issues that keep it from that mark.
1. The narrator does not pronounce a lot of things like everyone else. For example: Allies (Britain and France were allies in WWII) he pronounces (a lies) with emphasis on lies and it changes. Many more examples.
2. He’s a bit of an Ottoman fanboy and I see a strong ‘pro Ottoman’ bias. Slavery was a huge part of the Ottoman Empire for centuries. The Ottomans compete to be the number 1 slave nation in history. Families were broken with no consideration, forced contribution of children to the Janissary Corp. Never to be seen again by the family.
He treats the Millets like it was done as a favour for the ethnic religious groups when it was simply the most efficient way to get result from non-Muslim populations. That being said it’s still very good and worth listening too.

Great material but terrible speaker.
Holy smokes! This is the second time I’ve listen to one of Dr Harl’s courses and, while what he says is interesting, the way he says it is quite off-putting. His pronunciation—regional preferences, I guess—is distracting; his grammar is questionable; and he “hums” and “uhs” at record levels. It’s really too bad. I love the material but it really is a challenge to get through the narration. I will persevere, but if this kind of thing bothers you, be warned.
