Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I approached Forged in War with a mix of curiosity and trepidation - 15 hours is a significant commitment for any audiobook. But from the opening chapters, I was hooked. Shepherd's narration is top-notch, bringing the complex historical events to life with a clear and engaging voice. Galeotti's writing is similarly impressive, painting a vivid picture of Russia's tumultuous past. If I have a criticism, it's that the audiobook could benefit from a clearer structure - at times, the narrative feels a bit disjointed. Additionally, some listeners may find the sheer scope of the audiobook overwhelming. However, these minor quibbles are far outweighed by the audiobook's many strengths. Forged in War is a gripping and insightful listen that will appeal to fans of military history, geopolitics, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of modern Russia.
