In this engaging audiobook, we see how an 18-year-old miner shoveling ore from deep in the ground in Utah suddenly found himself, only two years later, 30,000 feet in the air over Nazi Germany, piloting a Flying Fortress in the first wave of America's air counteroffensive in Europe. Pathfinder Pioneer gives us vivid insights into the genesis of the American air campaign, told with the humor, attention to detail, and humility that captures the heart and soul of our Greatest Generation.

A Good Recounting of WW2 Bomber Missions
Revisado: 07-25-17
A good recounting of a B17 captain's time on missions and a life story. I would recommend as a good recounting of a bomber tour in the 8th Airforce in Europe and the training before and a life afterwards. A bit spoiled by sloppy editing and a lot wrong facts which a good editor should have picked up.

In the fall of 2009, Taliban insurgents ambushed a patrol of Afghan soldiers and Marine advisors in a mountain village called Ganjigal. Firing from entrenched positions, the enemy was positioned to wipe out 100 men who were pinned down and were repeatedly refused artillery support. Ordered to remain behind with the vehicles, 21 year-old Marine corporal Dakota Meyer disobeyed orders and attacked to rescue his comrades.

The dazzling new Culture novel from a modern master of science fiction - a tour de force of brilliant storytelling, world-building and imagination.It begins in the realm of the Real, where matter still matters. It begins with a murder. And it will not end until the Culture has gone to war with death itself.

I enjoyed revisiting the Culture once again with this almost thriller. Peter Kenny's narration once again makes this a gem.

Mark Renton has it all: He's good-looking, young, with a pretty girlfriend and a place at university. But there's no room for him in the 1980s.Thatcher's government is destroying working-class communities across Britain, and the post-war certainties of full employment, educational opportunity and a welfare state are gone. When his family starts to fracture, Mark's life swings out of control and he succumbs to the defeatism which has taken hold in Edinburgh's grimmer areas.

Excellent but not for the faint hearted
Revisado: 06-02-12
The sequel to Trainspotting lives up to Irvine Welsh's original. Lots of laughs and familiar characters in a believable story about how they became schemie junkies. Being Scottish and born at the same time as the main characters took me back to how Thatcher screwed a generation and British scociety and wasted lives, helped greatly by the people themselves.
If youre not Scottish you may find some of the story hard to understand - heaps of dialect. If you don't like very strong language (repeated often) and some gross/taboo stories - avoid. Having read/listened to all of Welsh's books to date this is up there with the original and Glue.
The best credit I have ever spent here and I have listened to some beauties - I had a barry time listening.

As the United States marks the 150th anniversary of our defining national drama, 1861 presents a gripping and original account of how the Civil War began. 1861 is an epic of courage and heroism beyond the battlefields. Early in that fateful year, a second American revolution unfolded, inspiring a new generation to reject their parents' faith in compromise and appeasement, to do the unthinkable in the name of an ideal.

An Entertaining Listen
Revisado: 10-20-11
Adam Goodheart's book was great entertainment. Not being from the US I knew little about the events leading to and the cause of the conflict. I was still a bit mistified afterwards as to what all the details given meant and am now complimenting it with books by Foote and Catton. It is now beging to make much more sense, though it is biased towards an understanding of the Union perspective rather than both sides.
I will revisit this gem in a few weeks and no doubt will then be able to rate this as five stars.
