The End Is Always Near

Dan Carlin is a treasure. If you are familiar with his Hardcore History, you know what to expect in this volume. If not and if you are interested in history, you are in for a treat.
As for what it is all about – well, the title might be a clue.
I highly recommend the audio version, which is of course narrated by Dan Carlin himself. (It would be difficult for anyone else to match his engaging style.)
