Action packed, Thoughtful

Revisado: 07-06-24

great read, couldn't wait to see where the plot turned next. loved that Win was a Batman-like figure without a disguise and unbelievable weapons and vehicles, yet wealthy enough to cut through walls that hardscrabble, down and out detectives in other novels seem to face. You don't have to suspend logic time after time when Win escapes impossible traps or gunshots like many others I have read. extra points for me for mentioning Glen Onoko, where some of the plot takes place; it's near beautiful Jim Thorpe, PA. minor deduction for the safe box scene: when a box is drilled, the old owner would not have access to the actual old box, especially with the old keys. the contents would likely be shipped to a central location after drilling and an inventory completed locally, then if unclaimed, sent to the state's department of Treasury for safekeeping after a legislatively prescribed period of time.

well written, researched & performed, but...

Revisado: 03-19-23

this is a typically well written book by a great author, but the subject matter became too upsetting for me to continue, and I had to restart it a few times to get through it. I am not a prude by any means, but this should have (and maybe did) come with a warning that the matters may be considered offensive to some listeners. that being said, I felt relieved when I did finish the book

Accessible, engaging, informative!

As a beginner fly fisherman, I have consumed podcasts, youtube videos, and Facebook fishing group posts, in an obsessive way over this winter, in preparation for the Spring.
I felt the need to view this info in a linear, less overwhelming, less scattered way. this book was exactly what I needed. I listened in less than a week and will now go back and take some notes.
well written, well performed (think Paul Harvey's staccato entertaining, fact sharing style if you're old enough to remember) and mostly facts and recreatable drills with some interesting literary and historic references thrown in (and a little old music as well) not too heavy handed and stilted like some others I have reviewed, not condescending at all. Don't know elementary terms like "pocket water"all and "drag free"? These terms and more are well explained here, without judgement. All in all a great effort. The Tom Rosenbauer recommendation helped too! P. S the final chapter, a vignette of the catching of one fish good was mesmerizing and inspiring. Art, indeed!

Amazing testimony of American resolve & Ingenuity​

Revisado: 04-07-17

This book tells of American resolve and Ingenuity in the desperate wake of the Great Depression and onset of WWII to mobilize hundreds of thousands of men, women, minorities and disabled people to design and produce the weapons and machinery of war, leading to the defeat of Hitler's Nazi regime and the Axis powers.

For me, the highlight and common thread woven through this story was the very real and common family struggles of Henry, Edsel and Henry Ford II to keep and regain control of their manufacturing empire against this backdrop.

A great resource for automobile enthusiasts, students of WWII, and anyone interested in the joys and heartaches of families in business together.

as relevant and interesting today as on the day it was written. it will make you proud to be an American!
