Well written and great details. Even though it is a 'history' book, I found that I couldn't wait for my next few minutes to continue on with the next chapter.

Historia
The early 20th century was a time of sudden growth for the young American automobile industry, and of a military beginning to extend its reach around the world. In what would become largely a jurisdictional dispute over Western natural resources, the unbridled oil industry of the new century collided with the United States military and the Department of the Interior, set against the dominance of a corruption-riddled presidential administration.

Decent book
Revisado: 03-22-17
This kind of story is not exciting and this book covered the details well without interjecting a lot of biased opinion. It probably could have been a little more in depth and interesting with side stories and other thing built in, but overall, I have a much clearer picture of this major event.

Historia
Perhaps the most famous – or as many would put it, infamous – of these naval corporations was the Dutch East India Company, also known as VOC. Established around the beginning of the 17th century, this nautical behemoth of a corporation was determined to squeeze everyone else out of the market. Vested with the power to wage war and exterminate any who dared stand in their way, the rest of the world stood by as the unstoppable force took over the whole of international maritime trade.

I generally love historical books like this. I did enjoy learning various things contained in this book but it was no where near as interesting or exciting as it could have been. this company ruled the world for a long time and I think there is much more that could have been written.
I read "Island at the Center of the World" which is another book about this company and it was much more in depth and interesting. I bought this book thinking it would be similar but it was not. many good facts, and I am glad I listened, but it was not everything I hoped.

Historia
McCullough's John Adams has the sweep and vitality of a great novel. This is history on a grand scale, an audiobook about politics, war, and social issues, but also about human nature, love, religious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship, and betrayal, and the far-reaching consequences of noble ideas. Above all, it is an enthralling, often surprising story of one of the most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived.

Historia
Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds.

Revisado: 09-07-16
Narration could have been better but not a big issue. interesting story if all the facts are real. But what makes me want to give the book a complete thumbs down is the ending. What a crock! I thought this was supposed to be based on a real life experience but in the end, it is just pure fiction. crap!
