The Great Sea: A Human History of the Mediterranean

This was a wonderful account of the story of the Mediterranean that I just wanted to keep listening to. Even better though, the author manages to deal with the accounts of the various religious groups, and different people groups in a very even handed way. There is no sense of 'good guys' or 'bad guys', just a telling of events. I also appreciated the way he shared his viewpoint alongside opposing viewpoints at times, alerting the reader to a view that may be contentious. He even managed to weave a little of his own story into the book. I will be looking for more of his books.
