Publisher's Summary
The Dark Ages is the story of the birth of Western civilization. It was a harrowing crucible of war, destruction, and faith. For over 100 years, Charles Oman's famous history has remained one of the finest sources for the study of this period. Covering a period of 500 years and an area stretching from Northern Germany to Egypt, this is the definitive history that will alter your conceptions of a period of history that gave birth to the civilization we live in today.

archaic
The reading was beautiful, and the writing was artistic and enjoyable, overall a beautiful read and a great experience.
However, the text is markedly dated, inserting value judgements all over the place, disdaining "barbarians" as primitive, even occasionally straying into light racism.
Overall a great book to read for enjoyment, but not necessarily for good unbiased education.

Frustrated and annoyed
That Audible keeps putting up history books without chapter titles. I want to know what I’m planning on listening to in more detail. I’m not looking for surprises here. Sometimes I choose to skip a period. And I want a reminder if what I’ve already heard.
