The 1968 presidential race was a contentious battle between Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Republican Richard Nixon, and former Alabama governor George Wallace. The United States was reeling from the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy and was bitterly divided on the Vietnam War and domestic issues, including civil rights and rising crime. Drawing on previously unexamined archives and numerous interviews, Luke A. Nichter upends the conventional understanding of the campaign.

Horrible production of an interesting topic
Revisado: 10-03-24
The Year That Broke Politics By: Luke A. Nichter may be a decent read but the narration and production of this product may be the worst I’ve ever had as a nearly 15 year audible user.

Minutes after 2 A.M. on November 21, 1970, more than one hundred U.S. war planes shattered the dark calm of the skies over Hanoi. Their mission: rescue sixty-one American POWs from Son Tay prison. Less than thirty minutes later, the raid was over, but no Americans had been rescued. The prisoners had been moved from Son Tay four and a half months earlier and that wasn’t all. Part of the raiding force landed at the wrong compound, a “school” bristling with enemy soldiers, but the soldiers weren’t Vietnamese....

not the complete book.
Revisado: 03-25-18
This is one of my favorite books of all time. I downloaded it expecting the entire book. Alas, several chapters were missing. What was especially disheartening was the efforts and innovations that were ommitted. The entire story needs to be told, not just excerpts. A very important moment in our history was not given its due.

The Doomsday Machine is Ellsberg's hair-raising insider's account of the most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization, whose legacy - and renewal under the Obama administration - threatens the very survival of humanity. It is scarcely possible to estimate the true dangers of our present nuclear policies without penetrating the secret realities of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, when Ellsberg had high-level access to them.

Long and winding.
Revisado: 01-29-18
Dr. Elsburg shared his perspectives amd insider knowledge of the madness of nuclear planning. Omniscide...it was informative but took a long time to get there. alot of redundance. perhaps that was necessary to demonstrate how long these plans have existed. interesting perspective on "use" of nuclear weapons as well.

Ulysses S. Grant's life has typically been misunderstood. All too often he is caricatured as a chronic loser and an inept businessman or as the triumphant but brutal Union general of the Civil War. But these stereotypes don't come close to capturing him, as Chernow reveals in his masterful biography, the first to provide a complete understanding of the general and president whose fortunes rose and fell with dizzying speed and frequency.

exceptional story and exposure of U.S. Grant. a bona fide leader and hero by all acco nuts, this book aptly captures who Grant was and puts to rest the century + rhetoric of his bashing. Noteworthy and a must read.

conscientious but apologetic. sure, some tidbits and revelations but by and large nothing new. I think it did take courage to expose the DNC and she did.

Fat is an obsession, a dirty word, a subject of national handwringing - and, according to biochemist Sylvia Tara, the least understood part of our body. You may not love your fat, but your body certainly does. In fact your body is actually endowed with many self-defense measures to hold on to fat. For example, fat can use stem cells to regenerate; increase our appetite if it feels threatened; and use bacteria, genetics, and viruses to expand itself. The secret to losing 20 pounds? You have to work with your fat, not against it.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
It had a lot of the exercise is the answer mantra and while there may be some connection, there are studies and information that says exercise is not the panacea so many profess it to be.
If you’ve listened to books by Sylvia Tara before, how does this one compare?
first one
Could you see The Secret Life of Fat being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
no
Any additional comments?
There was some good information in the beginning of the book. Was especially interested in more information about Beige fat. That said it seemed to glance over and get mired in the excess calories are the culprit and exercise is the answer. I may have to re listen to see if I missed anything. Ambitious start but meandering at the end.

Many things set Joe Grano apart from the typical corporate leader: his decorated military career, his humble origins, his lack of a formal college education, his meteoric rise. But perhaps the most unique aspect of Grano's life and career is his ability to deal with crisis. When things are at their worst, Grano is at his best. From Vietnam to 9/11, from the market crash of '87 to today's financial crisis, Wall Street legend Joe Grano has been at the front lines of the most defining American crises of the last 40 years.

Revisado: 09-10-09
This man clearly has something provocative to say. Excellent American can do story. A provoking, intellectual, and quite frankly emotional point of view about becoming successful, remaining grounded, and giving back. It's a shame all our elected leaders do not have the mettle and integrity of Joe Grano. The best book on true leasdership I have read in years.
