Inspiring and insightful for all audiences

I went into this book without much background knowledge of Mark Esper or how he ran the Dept of Defense. As an officer in the military who was deployed for a good portion of Secretary Esper's administration, I was extremely interested in the inner workings of his office and his "inside offence" strategy. I simply couldn't wait to continue this book each day. I even supplanted my typical exercise playlist each day with the oratory magic of Joe Knezevich reading "A Sacred Oath." As a military officer who worked some strategic programs in the Middle East, this really opened my eyes to what was happening at the highest levels of our government that resulted in major efforts to move money, personnel and equipment in theater.

History books are not filled with stories of the efforts and sacrafice made by those attempting to avoid disaster. We don't know what would have happened if Secretary Esper and his team didn't make the bold decisions and conduct his "inside offense/outside defense" strategy the way they did, but I truly believe it would have been a terrible result for our country. We all owe a huge debt to men and women like Mark Esper who stood strong for our nation's values and the Constitution of the United States of America. I hope he can serve our nation again in the future because he is a true leader and visionary with the moral courage and integrity our nation needs.

The perfect blend of science and tangibility

Revisado: 05-10-22

Prof Carroll gives an amazing lesson in basic understanding of quantum mechanics, general relativity and the arrow of time. Delves into both reality and some fun science fiction exercises in feasibility. He really captures your attention and is a pleasure to listen to.

Wonderfully read classic

Revisado: 08-18-21

The narration of this classic historical fiction makes it such a pleasure to listen to. Experiencing the racial and socioeconomic inequality of a small town in the early 20th century South through the eyes of a young girl is what really makes this story unique. The courtroom drama makes for some great excitement and emphasizes the lessons of empathy, compassion and the noble of doing the right thing, no matter the consequences.

Inspiring and educational

The way Bill Gates explains his unique perspective on the climate crisis is thoroughly insightful and motivating. Will Wheaton does a fantastic job with the narration and add some feeling to the work that Bill Gates doesn't easily convey, so that is helpful 😊

Prostitution and Global Warming

Obviously the first book was novel and very well done. This follows up on the first books footsteps although it's steps in all new areas. Still entertaining, still enlightening and a great look into how alike all of us are on this planet no matter what upbringing or opportunities we may have stumbled into.

Great insight for tech nerds and laymen alike

Revisado: 05-09-20

I'm a bit of a tech nerd, but o don't work in the tech industry. The insight into many of the hacking incidents from the late 90s on is amazing. Great to listen to as well.

Very informative, but might be overwhelming

I'm in the military but not the Army. I really enjoyed the audio book, but I've studied ancient history as well as modern warfare and still had to re-listen to some parts to keep track of what was going on.
The author and narration do a great job making all of this history spanning over centuries, understandable. He brings up great opinions and I feel I understand exactly what he is trying to convey. No real surprises, but good historical knowledge and context here.

A perfect overview of the Battle for a naive such as I. Strategic and personal accounts make this an overall great summary of the Battle and the events leading up to it. Simply amazing reading performance.
