Inside look at US foreign policy the last 50 years

Mr. Gates walks us through his roughly 50 years of US policy. Both the good and bad and what could or should have been done different. This book has so much bearing for what we are seeing in the world today.

As one of two FBI agents posted at the White House to perform background checks on appointees, FBI Special Agent Gary Aldrich intended to close his eventful career in peace and dignity. But what he witnessed during the Clinton administration left him deeply troubled, then alarmed, and finally, so outraged that he felt compelled to leave.

Deep State Defends Itself
Revisado: 03-15-21
Not a huge fan of the Clintons, but this reads like the Deep State taking on a Administration because they are mean people. I'm sure there will be another book like this about Trumps soon enough.
It was entertaining in points and I always enjoy hearing some of the inner workings of politics, but this book was very oversimplified to Clintons bad, everyone else good.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 39
This highly respected veteran newsman shares the stories he's long kept under wraps. Schieffer goes beyond the news everyone is familiar with to share the compelling anecdotes only his colleagues were previously privy to. Says the author, "I want to tell you about the parts that didn't get on television or in the paper." The result is an eye-opening glimpse behind the scenes of the news business.

LOVED THIS BOOK!
Revisado: 04-20-20
If you follow news and in particular CBS News, Bob has been a big part of it for along time. I really enjoyed how he gave the back story to the stories he tells. I like the way the book is organized, and I appreciate his stark opinion on some of the issues he's reported on, but never gave an opinion on. Highly recommend.

Great Book if you followed CBS News
Revisado: 04-19-20
Roger reporting on the CBS Evening news is one of my earliest memories. Really liked this book from the standpoint of wrote it like he was reporting on it. Which is different than Rather's and Schieffer's books.

Stirringly evocative, thought provoking, and often jaw dropping, The Operator ranges across SEAL Team Operator Robert O'Neill's awe-inspiring 400-mission career that included his involvement in attempts to rescue "Lone Survivor" Marcus Luttrell and abducted-by-Somali-pirates Captain Richard Phillips and culminated in those famous three shots that dispatched the world's most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden.

Outstanding, profane, funny, sad, unforgettable
Revisado: 09-12-17
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I've read a lot of military books over the years. Many very good. I put this near the top.
What other book might you compare The Operator to and why?
Strangely, Undaunted Courage about Lewis and Clark. Prepare for the mission and then take your small unit into the relatively unknown only being able to count on that unit much of the time for your survival and completion of the mission.
What about Robert O'Neill’s performance did you like?
Great narration and cadence.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. I think this maybe the only book I have done this with.

Would you listen to Perfect Pitch again? Why?
I've listen to and read a lot of books on this subject. This is one of the best. I've already used some of his techniques to close an account.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I actually thought that this might have some new insight based on the ratings the book had got. Frankly I was disappointed. Its the same old management theory we've been reading about for 25 years now. If you've read one, you read them all.
Has The Lean Startup turned you off from other books in this genre?
Yes

Jeffrey Cruikshank and Arthur Schultz have written a fascinating biography of one of the 20th century’s most intriguing figures. Albert D. Lasker helped invent “reason why” advertising, market research based on direct-mail advertising, premium coupons, and a host of other industry innovations. He invented and promoted powerful brands. But his impact went far beyond traditional advertising. This is the story of a man who shaped an industry - and changed the way we look at our world.

What did you love best about The Man Who Sold America?
I actually really enjoyed this book. Working in the field, learning more about it modern beginnings was interesting. Many of the principles Albert used are still used today. I recommend it.
FYI, it is much more of a true biography than most books of this type
