Between April and July 1944, Truman Smith flew 35 bombing missions over France and Germany. He was only 20 years old. Although barely adults, Smith and his peers worried about cramming a lifetime's worth of experience into every free night, each knowing he probably would not survive the next bombing mission. Written with blunt honesty, wry humor, and insight, The Wrong Stuff is Smith's gripping memoir of that time.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. Fascinating bit of history told by someone who was there.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Wrong Stuff?
Just about every mission was incredible.
Which scene was your favorite?
Again...can't just pick one. Whole book was riveting.
Any additional comments?
The Wrong Stuff is actually AMAZING STUFF! What a story...and it's true.I was blown away by the heroism of these brave young men. To go out there,day after day, alone, without fighter escorts, knowing that your chancesof staying alive got smaller with each mission, took incredible heroism.Well written and very well read. Five stars...I'd give it more if they'd let me!

Are you being psychically attacked? Yes! Every day you are exposed to negative forces in the environment from cynical people, malicious people, media advertisements, noise pollution and many other sources. These psychic attacks can cause neuroses, physical illness, bad luck - even accidents. Another ten percent of these psychic attacks are due to metaphysical sources, such as black magic, demonic spirits, poltergeists and energy vampires. This is the first comprehensive guide to diagnosing, treating and preventing psychic attacks.

Where does Protected by the Light rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's a good one. Hard to compare because the topic is so different
What does James Killavey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Reader did a good job. Good pacing. Correct pronunciation of some very difficult words.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did..sort of...finished in one day ..on and off as I drove, exercised, etc.
Any additional comments?
This book was very insightful look into the many forms of psychic attack. It is not about witchcraft or black magic, but about how to protect yourself. The author gives many examples of patients who used his techniques and how they work, and judging by the reviews of the written work and some second-hand knowledge, I believe them. Forget about skepticism. Based on what I've read and some people I know who have worked with the author, his techniques do work.
