Publisher's Summary:
History holds the key to understanding the present
Do you want to know when the first peace treaty came into play? What about the strange disappearances in the 1500s? Do we really know everything about WWI and WWII?
With history channels focusing predominantly on WWI and WWII, we are losing out on the rich history of the previous eras, not to mention some unknown events within the World Wars. This book holds the key to unlocking a world of forgotten events and moments.
In this audiobook, you'll discover a variety of historical events covering the span from the turn of the common era through WWII. Within this audiobook is a record of events once forgotten, or previously unknown, that have helped shape history and the world we live in today. History holds the key to understanding the present. Our past explains where we have come from and where we are heading. Although humanity can determine the steps it will take in the future, history often shows us the cycles that humanity repeats. A wise student will see these cycles and learn from them in order to better shape the future.
How can we know our history and what shapes us if we have forgotten great historical events and occurrences?
To fully understand where we come from and what we have achieved, both great and devastating, we need a more holistic history book. This audiobook attempts to fill in some of those blanks. The historical events listed in this book are not all that have been forgotten, but it is one step closer to fitting the missing pieces into our already grand puzzle.
Listen to this audiobook now to find out more about these captivating history events!

Forgettable History
The Amazon site for this book lists it as being 150 pages long; however the text I received is only 32 pages long. Obviously, the author released a second, much shorter edition of the book under the same title as before without disclosing he was doing do. The material that was excised from the new edition seems to be the Atlantis, conspiracy, and 9/11 material that was so heavily criticized in many of the reviews here.
So much for what wasn't in the book. As for what is there, it's badly-organized, written at a fifth-grade level, and occasionally just plain wrong.
Ok
This was an OK read, the stories did give an interesting point of view on topics seldom discussed. The writing was easy to read.
A big whoops!
" On March 30, 1856, the Peace of Paris was signed and Russia remained weak until 1914 when she joined forces with Germany in the First World War." Not really. Russia entered the war to defend Serbia from Austria-Hungary after the assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand. Germany declared war on Russia, and France being allied with Russia declared war on Germany. And so on, and so on. Russia certainly didn't join forces with Germany.
Disappointing
Numerous grammar errors and as a self-admitted grammar nazi, they distract me from smooth reading.
