Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948 by Madeleine K. Albright

5.0

Like a lot of people this was a bit different that I expected with a title that says it is a "personal story". It is really a history of the Czech and Czechoslovakian people in the first half of the 20th century and I wasn't mad about it. The history of the interwar period and WWII in Europe has been my personal interest for years but I realized how much history I wasn't aware of from other countries' perspectives. I knew Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia but I had never considered what it looked like from the Czechoslovakian perspective so hearing Madeleine describe it was very interesting. I just found it all so fascinating. The only small thing is that I didn't always love her as a narrator of the audiobook. I think she's the only one who could have done it but it is hard to narrate an audiobook well and I think that showed at some points.
