My Parents’ Generation

Revisado: 08-02-23

Just goes to show that every generation had its own kind of crazy going on. I would take then over now any day.

Fascinating history and beautifully read!

Revisado: 07-25-23

…and for anyone attuned to all things British, the book perfectly captures the very British character of the major players in this story. Just a wonderful book and wonderful to listen to. Very sorry to reach the end.

Beautiful book, beautifully read

Revisado: 07-23-23

One of my favorite Audible books of all time. Nicholas Guy Smith perfectly captures the very poignant tone of the novel.

This is not his book

Revisado: 08-10-19

This is a rambling interview apparently based on his book. It’s ok but nothing I would have wanted to hear more of

Concise look into the Cherokee civil war

Revisado: 03-29-19

If you are interested in the Cherokees after the Trail of Tears, this will be of interest to you. Lots of information in a concise manner. Also the history of slavery by the Cherokee is three dimensional in its complex evolution from before European contact and after. I wish Audible would carry more history books on the Cherokee

Like a box of jewels!

Revisado: 03-07-19

Each chapter is a delight. It either explains something you have heard of all your life but never really knew much about, or it vividly recalls something dear to your heart. Anyone born in the 50's will find this book fascinating.

Interesting glimpse into Sioux oral tradition

Revisado: 10-25-18

Having read Charles Eastman's "Indian Boyhood,:" From the Deep Woods to Civilization," and "The Soul of an Indian" I'm hooked on this author. He was born and raised in the traditional Sioux way, never having seen a white man until he was 15, then went on to learn English, go to several colleges including Dartmouth and Boston Medical School, then returned to his people to help care for them. By this time, they had been placed on the Pine Ridge reservation, and his witness of the Battle of Wounded Knee was one of the primary sources for "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee"

This book clearly explains what has gone wrong...

Revisado: 03-20-16

I live in a white minority city. I also work in a high rise and our office is next door to an employment agency. I have often ridden in the elevator with young black men who are riding up or down headed to or from the agency. Nearly always they are dressed in pants around the crotch, giant t-shirts and hooded jackets. When I attempt small talk with them, their eyes rarely lift from the floor and I can barely understand their mumbled responses. They are teenagers with their entire lives ahead of them and are almost certainly already lost for good - and I suspect many of them will soon be fathers. On the other hand, my trainer at my gym for the past 7 years is black. He is from a divorced but loving, close knit family (like the author's), he is married with children and, while we come from very different worlds, it is clear that our core beliefs as to what constitutes a successful and happy life for ourselves and our families are the same. This book goes a long way to explain the difference between the teenagers in the elevator and my trainer.

Something of a Treasure!

Revisado: 05-25-14

I rarely listen to fiction and I never listen to science fiction. I got this book because of a review in the Wall Street Journal. I was captivated from page one and had tears rolling down my cheeks twice before the end. I LOVED this book! Now and again I'd get lost in some technical details but it didn't matter, I just listened on through, eventually it would all make sense. Do yourself a favor and Google how this book came to be published. That in itself is another wonderful story!
