The book Hero of Two Worlds: The Marquis de Lafayette in the Age of Revolution by Mike Duncan has just come out. Have there been notable reviews, like from the academy or other knowledgeable people?

His Revolutions podcast has been mentioned favorably here, and even some praise for his History of Rome podcast.

But his first book, The Storm Before the Storm, has been skewered in the thread here, "The Storm Before the Storm: Similarities of the Roman Republic and the United States". See the top reply by /u/riftsweeper1, and the post on "corporations" by /u/XenephonTheAthenian that it points to. XenephonTheAthenian also posted their own replies under that post.

I would like recommendations on what to read, listen to, watch, etc after this to bring my general historical education up to the present day, especially major topics that weren't taught in school for me like the Russian and Chinese revolutions and South America, etc. I would prefer sources that cover many different facets of the countries and periods like the Durants did, while being geared towards a general educated audience.

Looking for any book about about the Battle of Marawi, or a larger history the Moro conflict
