Historia5 out of 5 stars 3,604
On the first Sunday in December 1941, an armada of Japanese warplanes appeared suddenly over Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and devastated the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Six months later, in a sea fight north of the tiny atoll of Midway, four Japanese aircraft carriers were sent into the abyss. Pacific Crucible tells the epic tale of these first searing months of the Pacific war, when the U.S. Navy shook off the worst defeat in American military history and seized the strategic initiative.

Excellent performance

Fantastic book, absolutely stunning performance. Gardner is absolutely the best narrator in the business and Toll writes with an incredible narrative.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 17
At once panoramic and intimate, Regular Army O! uses the testimony of enlisted soldiers - drawn from more than 350 diaries, letters, and memoirs - to create a vivid picture of life in an evolving army on the western frontier. In this richly drawn, uniquely authentic view, men black and white, veteran and tenderfoot, fill in the details of the frontier soldier’s experience, giving voice to history in the making.

Phenomenal telling of the subject

Fantastic story of the regular army on the frontier. Narrator was bit dry but the story was second to none. Highly recommend.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 596
A major American intellectual makes the historical case that the reforms of the 1960s, reforms intended to make the nation more just and humane, instead left many Americans feeling alienated, despised, misled - and ready to put an adventurer in the White House. Christopher Caldwell has spent years studying the liberal uprising of the 1960s and its unforeseen consequences. Even the reforms that Americans love best have come with costs that are staggeringly high - in wealth, freedom, and social stability - and that have been spread unevenly among classes and generations.

Where America was lost
Revisado: 09-05-20
This book is an incredible feat of explaining how and where America went off the rails. Anyone interested in re-establishing anything like the America founded in 1776 NEEDS to read, and fully comprehend this book and it’s ideas. Caldwell does an amazing job in both his writing, and his narration. This will hopefully be seen by future generations as a paradigm-shifting piece of historic literature.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 4,575
In this Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, historian Barbara Tuchman brings to life the people and events that led up to World War I. This was the last gasp of the Gilded Age, of Kings and Kaisers and Czars, of pointed or plumed hats, colored uniforms, and all the pomp and romance that went along with war. How quickly it all changed...and how horrible it became.

For Pros and Hobbyists alike
Revisado: 05-15-18
This book is one of the best military histories ever. Period. End of sentence. Wonderfully detailed and highly engaging, a rare combination in histories, this book keeps you gripped from the words “This is Audible.” I couldn’t stop listening and was legitimately sad that hear “Audible hopes you have enjoyed this program.” The performance by Ms. May was excellent as well. She read the diction perfectly and had the perfect British sense of the English language that made the funny sentences make me actually laugh out loud. I cannot recommend this book enough. Well done

Cornwell does a magnificent job telling a compelling and thrilling story; rife with action and drama, into a historical account of Wellesley's career. Absolutely fantastic!

Gone to Texas engagingly tells the story of the Lone Star State, from the arrival of humans in the Panhandle more than 10,000 years ago to the opening of the 21st Century. Focusing on the state's successive waves of immigrants, the audiobook offers an inclusive view of the vast array of Texans who, often in conflict with each other and always in a struggle with the land, created a history and an idea of Texas.

You gotta get a Texan narrator
Revisado: 05-29-15
The book was great and the narration was good except the narrator didn't properly pronounce the names of many texas names. Bexar= bayhar. Mexia= mahaya. Uvalde= youvaldee. There were others that I can't remember but those stuck out. It is such a Texan thing to have weird pronunciations but someone narrating a Texas book who presumably conferred with the author should know how these things are pronounced in the.. Texan language? I was really confused for about 3/4 of the book thinking to myself, "Now where the hell is bear county?" (His pronunciation of Bexar) Another example of Texans doing things however they damn well please I guess. Other than that I highly recommend this comprehensive and enjoyable book to everyone
