Historia
Few public officials have provoked such intense controversy as Henry Kissinger. During his time in the Nixon and Ford administrations, he came to be admired and hated in equal measure. Notoriously, he believed that foreign affairs ought to be based primarily on the power relationships of a situation, not simply on ethics. He went so far as to argue that under certain circumstances America had to protect its national interests even if that meant repressing other countries' attempts at democracy.

Superb analysis

One of the best written books I’ve read in the past decade. Anyone who is curious about Henry Kissinger and what he accomplished will find great satisfaction in reading this book.

Historia
Stuart Stevens spent decades electing Republicans at every level, from presidents to senators to local officials. He knows the GOP as intimately as anyone in America, and in this new book he offers a devastating portrait of a party that has lost its moral and political compass. This is not a book about how Donald J. Trump hijacked the Republican Party and changed it into something else.

A well written and up close view of Presidential immorality second to none in US history. Most of Trump’s 67,000,000 Twitter lackeys will not read this book, it’s too late for that.

Historia
In The Red and the Blue, cable news star and acclaimed journalist Steve Kornacki follows the twin paths of Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich, two larger-than-life politicians who exploited the weakened structure of their respective parties to attain the highest offices. For Clinton, that meant contorting himself around the various factions of the Democratic party to win the presidency. Gingrich employed a scorched-earth strategy to upend the permanent Republican minority in the House, making him speaker.

Superior job of bringing all the relevant facts into a cohesive and fascinating story of how the
American body politic has arrived at its current divided state. I am buying extra copies of this book to give as a gift to friends who have an interest in politics.

Historia
Al Franken, Giant of the Senate is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it.

Revisado: 06-22-17
Al Franken is a true friend of humanity and it shines through in every sentence of this book. He knows how to tell a story and make a point with uncommon clarity and wit. There is no public figure out there today who can bird dog and attack lies and hypocrisy better than Franken.
He certainly gets my vote!!

Historia
Why we think it’s a great listen: You thought he was a stodgy scientist with funny hair, but Isaacson and Hermann reveal an eloquent, intense, and selfless human being who not only shaped science with his theories, but politics and world events in the 20th century as well. Based on the newly released personal letters of Albert Einstein, Walter Isaacson explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos.

Historia
They met in person only four times, yet these two men determined the outcome of the Civil War and cast competing styles for the reunited nation. Each the subject of innumerable biographies, Generals Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee have never before been paired as they are here. Exploring their personalities, their character, and their ethical, moral, political, and military worlds, William C. Davis finds surprising similarities between the two men.

Superb
Revisado: 08-16-15
I've done extensive reading on the American Civil War and rank this book as a must read for anyone interested in learning about these prime movers of that war. The author has reached deep into the historical record with masterful discrimination, judgment and insight to bring the reader perspectives and understandings that are fresh, informative and instructive. This biographical and analytic narrative presents material in chronological order allowing one to appreciate the remarkable transformation each man underwent as he entered the crucible of command during the greatest crisis in American history.

Dick Hill does standard narrative quite well. When he does a female voice, the performance devolves into pure annoyance.

Historia
Alongside Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman, Philip H. Sheridan is the least known of the triumvirate of generals most responsible for winning the Civil War. Yet, before Sherman's famous march through Georgia, it was General Sheridan who introduced scorched-earth warfare to the South, and it was his Cavalry Corps that compelled Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. Sheridan's innovative cavalry tactics and "total war" strategy became staples of 20th-century warfare.

Best of the best.
Revisado: 02-18-15
According to his commanding generals (Ulysses S Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman) Philip Sheridan was the best of the best amongst all Union generals, and this audiobook does a great job in explaining why that was the case. The only Confederate Gen. that came close to Philip Sheridan in warrior spirit was Stonewall Jackson
