must read for ww2 aviation enthusiasts

Revisado: 03-20-25

i wasn't sure when I bought it if it was for me. But I am running out of ww2 aviation audio books, so I took a chance. So glad I did. Thisbook shows it from the civilian side, but mostly from.the luftwaffe point of view. Both strategy and the view from the cockpit are covered and the author ties it into known allied strategies like big week

i tried this book based soley on the massive number of 5 star reviews. I rarely read fiction, so this way off the beaten path for me. the science is understandable. but what makes this book special is connection between human and alien. spectacular narration too.

Could Not Finish It

Revisado: 06-01-24

This is not like Princess Spy at all. It started off interesting with explanations of how the family's faith was the basis for their actions. But about halfway through it was more like a bible study lesson, with quote after quote--often making the same point over and over. By chapter 11 it read more like an evangelical speech aimed at the reader. The story just stopped dead and a long bible verse review and prayer recitation took place. While I would have liked to see how it ended, its too hard in audio format to skip ahead to the resumption of the story. Nof for me.

Not much history in this one

Revisado: 01-16-24

i was expecting this to be centered around ww2 radar. But thats just a very minor sideline. This is basically a generic and very predictable love story. The Code Breakers Secret had more ww2 history and was way less contrived. The only reason i listened to the whole thing was the performance. back to nonfiction for me.

Love this series

Revisado: 08-27-23

I don't live close to the museum, but love they give you access to their events remotely. These all tend to be led by experts who keep the topics on track, filling in background info when needed. A rare chance to hear from authors and 1st hand participants.

classic history must read

Revisado: 08-27-23

great classic account of dday. No WW2 book collection is complete without it. Smartly paced, and very familiar due to the movie. Performance is somewhat dry and monotone though.

do not miss this one

Revisado: 07-18-23

im not sure I would have bought this one if i knew howling ago it was written, and that would've been my loss. This is written with bits and snatches of many of the civilians,military leaders and t every day people woven in and out of the story. The pure evil, fear, hate, greed, are there to be seen. The love of a zoo keeper for his doomed animals, was so touching and disturbing. It is less about the triumph of good over evil--and more about the scale of suffering. The ability for so many to deny the reality of the situation is brought home. Highly recommend this book.

ww2 history readers SKIP this one

Revisado: 01-12-23

In the and this was just An adoration To Audrey Hepburn. If you're someone interested in World War II history and thought this would be about the resistance, it is not. If you thought this was going to be about the war experience for a child, it isn't that either. It's really is one big long love letter to Audrey Hepburn. 2 stars is generous. Much better is German Boy Wolfgang Samuel
