The Storm Before the Storm

Didn't review this my first time through, so might as well do it now. If you like Mike Duncan and/or Roman history, this is likely to be something you enjoy. Duncan has such a good voice for teaching history, I don't know why, but it's just the perfect delivery system to hear facts about history.

This book focuses on the stuff that happens before all the stuff you know about happens. Reading about the Caesar/Cicero/Pompey/Mark Antony era of Rome can get exhausting, just because it has been covered SO much. I had already known the very basic, bare bones facts about some of the time period covered here, but Duncan went into enough detail that even on the second read through, I learned new things.
