Historia
When prize-winning war correspondent Tony Horwitz leaves the battlefields of Bosnia and the Middle East for a peaceful corner of the Blue Ridge Mountains, he thinks he's put war zones behind him. But awakened one morning by the crackle of musket fire, Horwitz starts filing front-line dispatches again this time from a war close to home, and to his own heart.

Sort of prescient
Revisado: 04-23-25
I wish I had read this book in the 1990s when it came out. It might have helped me understand why so many people would vote for an administration that is everything about oppression.

This book is important. I suppose the people who need to read it the most will not read it. This detailed financial history of the Trump family reveals the actual truth about their acclaimed cleverness and achieving great wealth.

Historia
Wright Thompson’s family farm in Mississippi is 23 miles from the site of one of the most notorious and consequential killings in American history, yet he had to leave the state for college before he learned the first thing about it. To this day, fundamental truths about the crime are widely unknown, including where it took place and how many people were involved. This is no accident: the cover-up began at once, and it is ongoing.

This detailed examination of cruelty and injustice is hard to take but it’s important. The people who resist knowing this history should be the ones required to listen to it.

I hope this will become an indoor in classic

I am very glad that I chose this as an audiobook. I think that this is important in its right; it’s also important as it fleshes out the simplistic Huck Finn story.

Historia
In spring 1945, as the Russians moved on Berlin and it became clear the Nazi cause was lost, Adolf Hitler assured his most trusted henchmen that even if he were to die, "the seed of National Socialism will grow again one day [in]…a radiant rebirth." Several times after the war, the distinguished author Peter Wyden, himself a victim of the Nazis, returned to Germany to discover, to his dismay, that Hitler's prediction was all too true. In this unsettling audiobook, Wyden documents the reality that the "Hitler virus" is still very much alive.

This is so timely
Revisado: 02-06-23
Despite being published a couple of decades ago, this analysis of the lingering Nazi ideology and the history of persecution is fascinating. Maybe it has even more to say since we know how things have been going during the 21st-century.

I thought this memoir was brilliant
Revisado: 02-10-19
The author had lived through a terrible ordeal during the war and yet waited until he was an old man to write this memoir. I believe that he was able to write an insightful and nuanced recollection of his time at war against the Japanese from a mature perspective, without having lost any of the delicate details of time, place, and character in his descriptions conveying his story. The end was particularly interesting as his musings about the eventual use of atomic weapons against the enemy mirrors what so many of us who have lost a loved one in wartime try to puzzle through... Oh, and the narrator seemed particularly good with regional accents.
