App Description
JEWS, GOD AND HISTORY by Max I. Dimont (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).
“Unquestionably the best popular history of the Jews written in the English language.” (Los Angeles Times)
Brilliantly narrated in a thousand and one episodes, this book tells the story of a people escaping annihilation and cultural death, fighting, falling back, advancing. Infused with an almost miraculous life force, they have triumphantly contributed to man's heritage for some four thousand years.
Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.
NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones® winning narrator, Anna Fields. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.
“[Anna Fields’] listener-friendly cadences express not only the sense of the lines, but also the connections among ideas and the author's underlying intelligence.” (AudioFile)
