Peacetime can be a rough adjustment for the battle-hardened Merry Band of Pirates.
Especially when aliens don’t get the memo that the shooting is over.

Hampton Sides' superb account of this epic clash in the Korean War relies on years of archival research, unpublished letters, declassified documents, and interviews with scores of marines and Koreans who survived the siege. While expertly detailing the follies of the American leaders, On Desperate Ground is an immediate, grunt's-eye view of history, enthralling in its narrative pace and powerful in its portrayal of what ordinary men are capable of in the most extreme circumstances.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 53
At a huge cost, the Red Army and the civilian population of Leningrad ultimately endured a bitter 900-day siege, struggling against constant bombing, shelling, and starvation. Throughout the siege, Soviet forces tried to break the German lines and restore contact with the garrison. To Besiege a City charts the first of these offensives which began in January 1942 and was followed by repeated assaults.

Waste of time and 1 months credit !!!
Revisado: 07-10-24
Thought this would be a great story from WWII about Lenningrad and it's people during that horrific time in history that they endured !!! instead it is a very lengthy and technical account of the prehistory of Stalin...the purges... the incidents of the Czars and 2 sides of the revolution. Very boring as if in a university class which never ends... the use of full 3 names or more for both the Russian and German Leaders in full accents bybthe narrator which mean really diddle to the story/class, single names could have been used to better effect !!! The narrators Eurpoean accent was also ineffective as a speaker and some of his English pronunciations of words were incomprehensible until you kind if figured them out after hearing them many times... ie... when describing an elite set of troops you think he's saying shook troops and it should have been Shock troops !!! Not his fault as that's how he spoke !!!
Also... it wasn't just about Lenningrad but also Moscow and other parts of the Country... not what the title implies and overall it also covered many more years other than 1941 to 1942 !!!
Should have been an awesome audible story but I could not wait for it all to end and even that was a let down storywise !!!
If you want the technical/political/prehistory and just class room boredom then try the book otherwise SKIP IT !°

United Nations Special Operations Command sent an elite expeditionary force of soldiers and pilots out on a simple recon mission, and somehow along the way they sparked an alien civil war. Now the not-at-all-merry band of pirates is in desperate trouble, again. Their stolen alien starship is falling apart, thousands of light years from home. The ancient alien AI they nicknamed Skippy is apparently dead, and even if they can by some miracle revive him, he might never be the same.

Colonel Joe Bishop made a promise and he's going to keep it; taking the captured alien starship Flying Dutchman back out. He doesn't agree when the UN decides to send almost 70 elite Special Operations troops, hotshot pilots, and scientists with him; the mission is a fool's errand he doesn't expect to ever return from. At least, this time, the Earth is safe, right? Not so much.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning history of World War II chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of the Japanese empire, from the invasion of Manchuria and China to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Told from the Japanese perspective, The Rising Sun is, in the author’s words, "a factual saga of people caught up in the flood of the most overwhelming war of mankind, told as it happened - muddled, ennobling, disgraceful, frustrating, full of paradox."

A great listen for All Police, FF's, and First Responders
Revisado: 12-14-23
This is a great book to listen to and to share to others who are connected to Police, FF's, and any First Responders including Nurses and Doctors.
The authors are talking to you as they each narrate their chapters vs having even just a famous or known narrator speaking to you. It makes it much more personable !!!
I'm a retired FF/EMT and many parts that they spoke to me of, touched my soul and being !!! It should be a must read or listen book for anyone new to the fields of Policing, FF's, First Responders and the whole EMS field including Nurses and Doctors.
Nowadays they are learning of the value of mental health and well-being in and for our fields that we love being in but the stigma of asking for help still needs to be broken in our fields of endeavor, love or work so we stop losing so many to death
