A truly telling rendition of the 100-Years War

Revisado: 01-10-24

If one would like to step away from the pedestrian renditions of late medieval combat and better understand the socioeconomic dynamics of Franco-Anglo war, I think this is an excellent place to start.

Totally Anglo-centric

Revisado: 12-15-23

An obviously biased tension of history with the author constantly referring to “our” army when describing English actions. I stopped listening about a quarter through and started searching for a more unbiased rendition of the 100 Years War.

Great rendition of a well known subject.

Revisado: 10-10-23

Minor technical flaws (indicates a C-47 has 4 engines) don’t distract from a good book and a great reading.

Will not disappoint!

Revisado: 09-23-23

Growing up in Kansas and working in area around Holcomb and Garden City, the Clutter murders were known to me. I had seen the movie and enjoyed it. I had even driven by what was once the River Valley Farm homestead. The full text of Truman Capote’s masterpiece and the fittingly powerful reading by Scott Brick thoroughly brought the chilling events together. An enlightening chapter in the book of the darkest aspects of human nature.

Interesting overview

Revisado: 03-14-23

Mostly well delivered but, in my humble opinion, inclusive of social biases, suspect facts, and selective omissions.

Well delivered

Revisado: 02-17-23

As is so often the case, the ending in stories like this is a bit predictable. The Martian is no exception. However, the Watney narrative is very interesting and full of gallows humor. I certainly recommend this reading.

Outstanding on all Fronts!

Revisado: 12-24-22

A moving recount of what is likely one of the most brutal theaters of WWII. The atrocities committed by both regimes and the brutalities of combat are set aside to chronicle the life of a frontline officer. Unique insights into the thoughts and beliefs of a very young lieutenant are prosaically recounted. The performance imparts a youthful tenor and helps convey the resignation and emotion of retreat and defeat tempered by professional pride. An excellent audio book!

Interesting and germane in April 2022

Interesting social overview of Russian and Soviet life. A good read for those of us with limited non-propagandistic knowledge.

The narrative showed some, in my opinion, unnecessary and confusing repetition. Otherwise, an enthusiastic rendition of something all Westerners should better understand and well worth the time and money.

Engrossing with numerous technical inconsistencies

Revisado: 05-31-21

Although I have no military experience or training, it seems so many obvious miscalculations we made in defense against Variants, I cannot believe technical advice was sought or taken. Further, the premise of the world-wide spread of the virus in less than a week is tough to fathom. All that said, IMHO, the book is well written and Pinchot does a strong work in delivering the prose. All tolled, the listening experience was good and I will go on to books 4, 5 and 6.
