In January 1973, Richard Nixon had just been inaugurated after winning re-election in a historic landslide. He enjoyed an almost 70 percent approval rating. But by April 1973, his presidency had fallen apart as the Watergate scandal metastasized into what White House counsel John Dean called “a full-blown cancer.” King Richard is the intimate, utterly absorbing narrative of the tension-packed hundred days when the Watergate conspiracy unraveled as the burglars and their handlers turned on one another, exposing the crimes of a vengeful president.

The Best, Most Comprehensive Watergate Chronicle
Revisado: 05-10-23
I've read many, many Watergate books. I was a young adult during that turbulent time and remember well the drama of those years. Written in a clear and compelling style, Michael Dobbs has compiled as complete a historical narrative as could be imagined. This is a book worthy of the incredible history it tells.

Using portraits of America’s flawed policy makers and accounts of the forces that drove them, The Best and the Brightest reckons magnificently with the most important abiding question of our country’s recent history: Why did America become mired in Vietnam, and why did we lose? As the definitive single-volume answer to that question, this enthralling book has never been superseded. It is an American classic.

Hands down, the best book on the Vietnam nightmare and worthy of all the praise and awards it received. Impeccably researched, the many revealing details and eye-witness anecdotal narratives make for fascinating and compelling listening.

World War I and the Russian Revolution together shaped the 20th century in profound ways. In The End of Tsarist Russia, acclaimed scholar Dominic Lieven connects for the first time the two events, providing both a history of the First World War's origins from a Russian perspective and an international history of why the revolution happened.

Fascinating in depth History
Revisado: 03-05-22
This is a scrupulously researched and comprehensive history of a momentous time in world history. I only wish that the narrator had taken the time to learn the proper pronunciations of the important figures in the story. A good producer should have caught these errors

Both George Orwell and Winston Churchill came close to death in the mid-1930s - Orwell shot in the neck in a trench line in the Spanish Civil War and Churchill struck by a car in New York City. If they'd died then, history would scarcely remember them. At the time, Churchill was a politician on the outs, his loyalty to his class and party suspect. Orwell was a mildly successful novelist, to put it generously. No one would have predicted that by the end of the 20th century they would be considered two of the most important people in British history.

Extraordinary !
Revisado: 03-21-19
Having listened to hundreds of audio books over the last 12 years, I can easily rate this title near the top of my list of favorites. It is a wonderful, revealing and insightful historical narrative about two of the giants of thef 20th century. In fascinating detail it highlights how their lives paralleled each other during the tumultuous 30s and 40s and how the legacy of their achievements effects us today. James Lurie’s superb narration makes this a very memorable audio experience.

Are leaders born or made? Where does ambition come from? How does adversity affect the growth of leadership? Does the man make the times or do the times make the man? In Leadership, Goodwin draws upon four of the presidents she has studied most closely - Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights) - to show how they first recognized leadership qualities within themselves, and were recognized by others as leaders.

Wonderful and Timely History
Revisado: 10-06-18
Highly interesting and very relevant history from a master historian. The only drawback is David Morse's narration of the Lincoln sections. The material is too important for his low keyed, bed time story like reading.

In 1946, genius linguist and codebreaker Meredith Gardner discovered that the KGB was running an extensive network of strategically placed spies inside the United States, whose goal was to infiltrate American intelligence and steal the nation's military and atomic secrets. Over the course of the next decade, he and young FBI supervisor Bob Lamphere worked together on Venona, a top-secret mission to uncover the Soviet agents and protect the Holy Grail of Cold War espionage - the atomic bomb.

Compelling Saga of Cold War History
Revisado: 04-29-18
This is one of the few audio books you don't want to end. Mr. Blum has skillfully assembled historical material only recently made available into a gripping narrative. It's a fascinating look back to a time in our history which was in many ways more frightening and dangerous than the world we live in today. This is history at its very best and David Colacci's splendid reading makes this a rewarding listening experience.

An important, highly entertaining compilation of the late justices' s speeches punctuated with wonderful anecdotes and interesting biographical information of a remarkable man and great American. My only regret is that his eloquent writings would have been served better had a professional narrator been chosen for the book.

From Vietnam to the Southern Strategy, from the opening of China to the scandal of Watergate, Pat Buchanan - speechwriter and senior adviser to President Nixon - tells the untold story of Nixon's embattled White House, from its historic wins to it devastating defeats. In his inaugural address, Nixon held out a hand in friendship to Republicans and Democrats alike. But by the fall of 1969, massive demonstrations in Washington and around the country had been mounted to break his presidency.

Eyewitness to History - A Compelling Story
Revisado: 06-12-17
Despite some initial skepticism, I purchased this book and was rewarded with one of the most engrossing and entertaining historical memoirs I've ever encountered. Having lived through the turbulent times portrayed in this fascinating narrative I was especially interested in the many insider accounts of those times and the momentous decisions that were made and that still affect this country today. Pat Buchanan's well reasoned and wonderfully articulated conservative assessment of those decisions are nothing if not highly thought provoking and compelling.
