Title: Sword and Caravan inspirational reading/listening
Post by: atomic on November 12, 2022, 02:34:35 PM
Today I read through the "Chronology of the Silk Road" section in Sword amd Caravan. There's a lot of fascinating events in there that I'd like more details on. Can anyone recommend a podcast or audiobook that covers a similar time span?

Non-audio books are also of interest,  both fictional and historical.

Judging by the number of views on this thread and the lack of replies it seems like there's some interest, so I'll post what I find here.

So far, I'm about halfway through this novel:

It focuses on the siege of Acre and does a good job describing the horrible conditions in a siege camp that's low on supplies and surrounded by enemy troops.  I haven't started on any non-fiction histories yet.
