Some audiobook recommendations:
The Story of Civilization by Durant
Iliad (Penguin Edition)
The Road to Serfdom by Hayek
American Caesar by Manchester
Masters of Doom by Kushner
The Wages of Destruction by Tooze
The Storm of Steel by Junger
The Guns of August by Tuchman
The Gallic Wars by Caesar
Twelve Against the Gods by Bolitho
Genghis Khan by Weatherford
The first one on the list will take a while to get through, but is very much worthwhile.
Admittedly, this is a list that appeals to those who think about Rome every day.
I hope someone makes an audiobook of The Encyclopedia of Military History by Dupuy and The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World by Creasy.
