The death of General George S. Patton is shrouded in mystery. While officially the result of an unfortunate car accident, the evidence points to a far more malevolent plot: murder. So says investigative and military journalist Robert K. Wilcox in his book Target: Patton: The Plot to Assassinate General George S. Patton. Written like a WWII spy thriller and meticulously researched, Target: Patton leads you through that fateful December day in 1945, revealing a chilling plan to assassinate General Patton.

I never paid attention to the death of Patton. There was a crash and he died. But wait! There is a story behind the headlines and Robert Wilcox tells it thoroughly and with a unique style that comes out of his background as an investigative reporter. He leaves no stone unturned and more importantly has no agenda. There are facts. There are opposing opinions. All are handled deftly and with the progression of a fictional story. This book has made me want to know more about Patton's genius and his flaws. As with every great general, some contradictions are hard to explain. I really enjoyed this book for its accuracy in presentation and of the personal quest that the author explains. One of the biggest surprises to me is the revelations of Soviet treachery during and after WWII. Previous histories of Patton's death have not had the perspective of recently revealed documents. They make a huge difference in our understanding of what really happened to Major General Patton. Read this book!

Grab your lace shawl and top hat and get ready to twirl—this is a full-throttle appreciation of the life and voice of Stevie Nicks from one of rock criticism’s most celebrated writers.
Best-selling author and Rolling Stone columnist Rob Sheffield explores the music and artistry of the rock goddess who has kept generations of music lovers totally bewitched and spellbound, with such classic rock hits as "Rhiannon" and "Gypsy".

Good, not great
Revisado: 08-06-18
Reading this book may be better than listening to it. I enjoy the voices and characterizations as I have for other of Guidall's work I found this story a bit less exciting and more ponderous with its description of the mystery. I almost decided to wait to read the book. However, it may be that I do not just sit and listen for periods of time. Rather, it's with me during the day and while driving in my car on short trips. A 12 hour trip reading the book maybe would have brought it "together" in a more exciting way for me.
So, I recommend listening on long trips or for hours at a time than in 20 minute segments

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 271
In chronicling the adventurous life of legendary CIA operative Edward Lansdale, The Road Not Taken definitively reframes our understanding of the Vietnam War. In this epic biography of Edward Lansdale (1908-1987) best-selling historian Max Boot demonstrates how Lansdale pioneered a "hearts and mind" diplomacy, first in the Philippines, then in Vietnam. It was a visionary policy that, as Boot reveals, was ultimately crushed by America's giant military bureaucracy.

Narrator is superb. I was looking for the complete story of why we sacrificed so many lives in a lost cause. this explains it clearly.
Lansdale is now my forgotten hero.
