Summary

Three brief histories of America, Canada, and England: nations divided in their history, peoples, and culture, yet bound by a willingness to sacrifice everything for independence, power, and prosperity.

America, Canada, and England have been a backdrop to some of the fiercest battles and struggles for supremacy.

This three-in-one collection highlights the challenges, achievements, and disparate goals of each of these nations, revealing their fascinating alliances, spirited rebellions, and fierce defense of what they deemed or desired to be theirs. In these three books, you will discover:

  • Early tensions that led to the colonies’ desire for independence from Britain.
  • The regional fractioning of America, the secession of Southern states, and the subsequent Civil War.
  • The Postwar Era spanning 1945-1980, when Cold War paranoia hit the nation like a hurricane.
  • The diversity and richness of Canada’s first peoples—the First Nations, Inuits, and Métis, and the unique skills that each of these cultures possessed.
  • How the Age of Exploration led the Europeans to explore and colonize Canada.
  • Canada’s exciting journey from a British stronghold to an independent nation—featuring the Red River Resistance and Canada’s involvement in WWI.
  • The ancient influences and ancestors of England—including the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, and more.
  • The Norman conquest of England and its deep historical and cultural impact.
  • The War of the Roses—a period of great political turmoil that would transform English history.

And much more.

Let these books foster your understanding of the way that opposing forces lead to seismic shifts in the timeline of modern history.

Discover defining moments in history that revealed the differences and similarities that marked three powerful nations.

Amazing collection

If you are a history buff then this is a great book for you as it weaves and winds you through the many early struggles that these three countries went through and how each one had its fair share of trials and tribulations to seek independence, world power, and prosperity for their people. Some of this I learned in history classes at school but there is a lot more that I didn’t know that is covered in this brief history book. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about the rich history behind these three nations.

Interesting historical perspective

Interesting historical perspectives of three powerful countries. This 3-in-1 collection highlights the large challenges, differences In strategy and many achievements of each country. I believe it is a good brief summary of each country’s history and a fascinating listen.
I do think the narrator could have done a better job in some areas but all in all it was outstanding brief history book of America, Canada, and England‘s history.

Dive into history

There's SO much history we aren't taught in schools - it's truly fascinating.

For a long time before finding this audiobook, I never quite managed to fit in some history research of my own, but this book has made it possible!

I've had an amazing time learning about Canada, England, and America. I'll be looking out for similar books just like this :)

Refreshing, concise, and deeply insightful

The audiobook starts with American history and offers a compelling look into the nation’s formative years. Capturing the early tensions with Britain, the trauma of the Civil War, and the anxiety of the Cold War era. Particularly poignant is the exploration of regional differences within the country, which have often been glossed over in other works.

Canada’s history is a rich tapestry, celebrating its indigenous cultures and detailing its complex relationship with European powers. The account of Canada’s journey from a British dominion to its own sovereign state is narrated with nuance and a sense of excitement.

England’s story, as presented here, is a journey through time—touching upon its ancient influences and diving deep into transformative events such as the Norman Conquest and the War of the Roses. These events are deftly connected, revealing how historical momentum builds upon each successive era.

The writing is crisp, devoid of the fluff that often permeates historical accounts. The prose is immersive, making historical figures and events come alive, transporting listeners back in time.

The narration is good, but it comes across as a news anchor and can sometimes be abrupt. Otherwise, this is an excellent concise history of three great nations.
