About this audiobook
This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics:
1: From about 1858 to 1947, the British ruled over India. The raj carried out orders and came up with them. There was public mistrust and dissatisfaction about their regime, which led to protests, riots, and controversial events. India was a big part of the British Empire for a long time, until the country gained its independence. Other issues happened with the Bangladeshi and the Pakistani.
Let’s explore how the rule of the British raj evolved, how their power became stronger and weaker, and what the impact of the world wars was, the nationalist groups in India, and significant figures like Mahatma Gandhi.
2: Horatio Nelson can be seen as one of the most courageous, strategic, valiant British generals in history. His tactics in the navy have led their empire to glorious victories in the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. During the wars against Napoleon, the Scandinavians, and in the West Indies, he was an exemplary leader, strategists, and combatant. The British Empire stretched all the way from the Caribbean to Egypt and beyond. Needless to say, much help was needed in various areas in the world.
Learn more about this brave warrior, someone who fit exactly into that time frame to keep their empire afloat, through their navy ships, their battles, and their victories.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I urge you (or any person who checks this out) to get this book. I liked it. I understand I'm not the best of testimonial writers, but this deserves appreciation. The writer and storyteller have certainly put so much time and energy into these audiobooks. Let me think for a minute ... how should I say this? It was expert, uncomplicated, and reasonable. With that being said, yep, I do highly recommend this book. No doubt about it.
