About this listen
The Amish, one of America's most intriguingly private, unique, and often misunderstood religious communities, have survived for 300 years! How has that happened? While much has been written on the Amish, little has been revealed about their history. This book brings together in one volume a thorough history of the Amish people. From their beginnings in Europe through their settlement in North America, the Amish have struggled to maintain their beliefs and traditions in often hostile settings.
Now updated, the book gives an in-depth look at how the modern Amish church continues to grow and change. It covers recent developments in new Amish settlements, the community's conflict and negotiation with government, the Nickel Mines school shooting, and the media's constant fascination with this religious people, from reality TV shows to romance novels. Authoritative, thorough, and interestingly written, A History of the Amish presents the deep and rich heritage of the Amish people with updated statistics.

Dull But Interesting In Parts
Most of the book is very dull. Like reading a research paper: full of numbers, academic facts. I found myself skipping large chunks because it got too laborious for me. The last chaper, however, was more lively.
Having said this, the work is comprehensive. And it was great to learn about this very interesting group of people. After finishing the book, I find myself having a lot more appreciation and respect for them.

Kinda dull
2.5 stars. Talk about detail! I was hoping for more of the Amish culture & beliefs. This is a comprehensive history more about the different groups forming & splitting & moving about. The narrator was dull. He sounded bored, which isn’t surprising as this is more of a text book.
