Definitely a definitive history…

Revisado: 02-09-25

but be warned that this is a completely comprehensive document. Not a detail left out… Every battle described in amazing detail with all of the personalities and foibles of the players. An amazing portrait of the time, but a definite commitment to listen to.

Great atmosphere… But challenging to follow.

Revisado: 11-30-24

Please read this book for your own education! But I’ll be the first to admit I had trouble following the story because it jumps back-and-forth decades and generations without much warning, and has hundreds of characters which are therefore difficult to keep straight in your mind. I think the way to approach this book is to appreciate it for its exploration of the overall atmosphere of race relations in the south and as an exploration of the personal dynamics that can arise in the context of such bizarre and contradictory institutions as black slavery, and a black slave owning class. Fantastic performance by the reader.

Mr. Elizondo is not allowed to tell the whole truth, but what he does tell…

Revisado: 09-27-24

What he does tell is completely consistent with the findings of hundreds of dedicated UFO researchers for the last 80 years. A clever reader will read between the lines in a few places, and be well rewarded. it is astonishing and inspiring that the work of himself in a few others could result in so much disclosure permitted by powers within the establishment, and so much more to come based on the interest that has been carefully built within the US Congress. For more detail about many of the older cases mentioned, and many others, I recommend the three part series: UFOs and the national security state by Richard Dolan, which focuses primarily on UFO encounters with military players.

A great collection of short stories for people who don’t even like short stories

Revisado: 05-18-24

The description mentioning interleaved stories is perfectly accurate. Stories touch in and out of each other’s plot lines in the most unpredictable ways.

Absolutely flawless performance by the narrator which is truly rare.

Courageous decision to round out Frank’s backstory

Revisado: 12-06-23

The author took a lot of risks in revisiting Frank’s character which had been slightly one dimensional in the previous books, and added enormous color and depth as a result. A bit of a roller coaster as she keeps you wondering where it’s headed. Well worth it in the end.

wow! Way more engaging than the original stories.

Revisado: 06-30-23

an extraordinary stretch of Claire North’s already extraordinary powers. Deserves to be considered a new work of modern literature. Or maybe ancient literature.

wow! Volume two is even better than volume one.

Revisado: 06-01-23

The effort put into the research and production of this book and audiobook is truly mind boggling. The story of New York is really the story of the birth of the United States. Anyone wishing to understand how we got where we are, warts and all, needs to read/hear this history. can’t wait for volume three.

Excellent performance. Relatively few errors in pronunciation and emphasis, though not 100% perfect.

this is absolutely the definitive book on the subject

Revisado: 05-16-23

Years of my own research have led me to conclude that Richard Dolan is the definitive researcher in the UFO field, because of his historian perspective. And this book is clearly his Magnum Opus. Anyone interested in this subject must read this book first. This is a “red pill” sort of book, because it will leave no doubt in the reader’s mind that the US military and secret services, i.e. the components of the national security state, have been systematically lying on this subject for more than 70 years and continue to do so, with lies of both commission and omission.

Unfortunately, the narrator was unfamiliar with the subject matter, unfamiliar with the names and acronyms, unfamiliar with common English idioms and conventions of pronunciation, and even unfamiliar with hundreds of ordinary English vocabulary words. The rate of wrong pronunciation and other narration errors, such as errors in emphasis, exceeded one per page, making it somewhat distracting. Don’t give up! The content of the book is worth ignoring this shortcoming.

Glad I finally caught up on an important work.

Revisado: 03-02-23

I was impressed with the level of gritty realism to be found in a book written in 1947. It shies away from very few topics that would’ve been relevant to the life of a World War II soldier. kind of surprised I don’t recall seeing it on a list of banned books.

The performance is excellent, well paced with excellent characterizations, and very few errors.

Super fun!

Revisado: 01-13-23

An excellent performance of an engaging history of a very quirky country written in a highly entertaining humorist style.
