Historia
This is the story of the first 25 years of Mr. Churchill’s life, up to the point where his unique parliamentary career was just beginning. From childhood and his apprentice days at Harrow and Sandhurst we follow him on active service to Cuba, the North-West Frontier of India, Omdurman and the Boer War (including the historic story of his escape from captivity), while in the background are his early adventures in politics and literature.

Alike a fictional novel of adventure
Revisado: 01-30-24
This book runs from his earliest memories as 4 a year old, in impressive detail, every year though 12 years old and then through high school and college. Then continuing through his adventures and trails that brought him to the end of the Boear Wars. The performance by the reader was very pleasant and skilled. It was very easy to pretend that Winston himself was reading the book to me, as the reader spoke in the same accent and rhythm as Winston. I had no clue that Winston embarked on so many travels across oceans and continents. His recounts of .... blood, victory, anxiety, whit, youthful depression, interpersonal conflict, all amongst the discomforts of the weather of Cuba, india, and the antarctic ocean.... made his humanity undoubtable.
I highly recommend this book to those who aren't history buffs, and love tales of adventure and life amongst men with a good supply of scotch whiskey and cigars.

Historia
The year is 1901. Germany's navy is the second largest in the world; their army, the most powerful. But with the exception of a small piece of Africa and a few minor islands in the Pacific, Germany is without an empire. Kaiser Wilhelm II demands that the United States surrender its newly acquired territories: Guam, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines. President McKinley indignantly refuses, so with the honor and economic future of the Reich at stake, the Kaiser launches an invasion of the United States, striking first on Long Island.

Historia
Danielle D'Souza Gill, in a pathbreaking new book, blows the lid off the abortion debate, which is radically different than it was when the Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling of Roe v. Wade in 1973. The Democratic Left has become radicalized on abortion. It is no longer a necessary evil, but a positive good. Consequently, the Left has legitimized a form of mass killing in this country that dwarfs the deaths caused by cancer, smoking, homicide, terrorism, and war.

I WAS soft on abortion
Revisado: 11-22-20
Finished this in one shift. I w was very soft on abortion but after reading this book I feel extremely strongly against abortion as it is a much more violent and malevolent practice that and then I truly conjured probably Justin because I've never heard it in one sentence like this. this book has brought me closer to God and I will likely join this huge effort and and holy effort and fighting this gruesome and terrible evil much love for you Mrs. Gill! God bless.

Historia
January 1864: General Robert E. Lee faces defeat. The Army of Northern Virginia is ragged and ill-equipped. Gettysburg has broken the back of the Confederacy and decimated its manpower. Then, Andries Rhoodie, a strange man with an unplaceable accent, approaches Lee with an extraordinary offer. Rhoodie demonstrates an amazing rifle: its rate of fire is incredible, its lethal efficiency breathtaking - and Rhoodie guarantees unlimited quantities to the Confederates. The name of the weapon is the AK-47.

Performer has a lisp
Revisado: 11-08-20
I have nothing against people with lisps but please don't read professionally if you do.
otherwise, I absolutely love this book! impressive research on the common slang used in 1864! I wish there was more alternate history books on audible, but I can only complain so much.

In honor of the 10-year anniversary of The Heroin Diaries, Nikki Sixx’s definitive and bestselling memoir on drug addiction is now available on audio for the first time, read by Nikki Sixx! This shocking, gripping, and at times darkly hilarious memoir explores Nikki’s yearlong war with a vicious heroin addiction. Now more than ever, with opioid addiction ravaging our country and rising by 20 percent in the past year alone, Nikki’s story is now more relevant than ever.

An ending that will make a macho man cry!!
I'm so grateful that, in the end, you choose to be a father and die of old age. I'm 21 and have always had a stable home life; near zero of my peers can say the same. I see how I was able to avoid total collapse from OTC drugs addiction because of their stable relationship. I also see my peers collapse because they don't have that supportive stability at home. Point being, I greatly appreciate that you have been a father to your kids and I know that you know that they have something few other kids have and how big of a difference that makes in their lives.

Historia
For those who witnessed the global collapse of socialism, its resurrection in the 21st century comes as a surprise, even a shock. How can socialism work now when it has never worked before? In this pathbreaking audiobook, best-selling author Dinesh D’Souza argues that the socialism advanced today by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and Elizabeth Warren is very different from the socialism of Lenin, Mao, and Castro.

Dinesh is my favorite perspective of the world.
Revisado: 07-17-20
in this book, Dinesh draws from his childhood, how he grew up in a Democratic Socialist society and his expertise from spending countless hours reading in the history section of the the library. A must read balenced viewpoint of the current political crisis that faces our country.
