Excellent commentary on Defese Spending

Revisado: 08-08-20

Christian Brose's book "The Kill Chain" is an interesting review of the Military-Industrial Complex and how it spends money. The book is well thought out and Brose does a good job of reading. Unfortunately, it loses a little luster with the obligatory send-up of Orange Man Bad. I expected it from McCain's COS. I do recomment the book.

Junior Officer Takes the Con

Revisado: 10-16-17

Sometimes the answer to the most difficult problem is the most obvious. Why were the Japanese ASW ships always on top of the Billfish. They had to know they were there, but how. Don Keith's excellently written and spoken book brings to life a most harrowing story of survival, courage, stamina, and commitment. This crew was not going to loose the boat. Lessons learned here can be applied today. Highly enjoyable and highly recommended.

C.J. Box at his best

Revisado: 09-12-17

Although a rather short story lasting some 8 hours, C.J. Box produces excellent fiction. His character development is good. The story line becomes a little far fetched at times but always remains exciting. I enjoyed the book.

Absolutely one of the best.....

Revisado: 08-10-17

The Battle of Midway by Craig Symonds is, in my opinion, one of the best compilations of the history of the battle. His writing style is excellent and keeps the readers attention. I've read several books about the battle of Midway and this one is excellent. From the opening paragraphs to the extremely interesting summary of the lives of the combatants following the battle it is a great read.

Complex story line, excellent character developmen

Revisado: 11-17-15

This may not be the book for a commuter, especially if you're driving. The book requires your complete attention. Several times I had to rewind to a place I remembered and then restart. It's a complex plot with several story lines all intertwined. Highly recommended.

Another Great Historical account

Revisado: 09-28-15

Marlin "Whitey" Groft's book cowritten with Larry Alexander is an excellently done account of Groft's days on Guadalcanal, and his career in the Marine Corps. If you have an interest in the Pacific war and the Marines at Guadalcanal you'll enjoy this listen. The book keeps you engaged and the narration is excellent. Highly recommended.

Extraordinary Insight The Battle of Saipan

Revisado: 08-06-15

The appendices regarding Marine Lt. General Holland "Howlin' Mad" Smith and Army Major General Ralph Smith is worth the price of the book alone.
Extremely interesting book. It contains combat stories as well as general military history.

Do Not Miss This Book

Revisado: 08-05-15

Probably one of the best books I've ever listened too. If you have even a little interest in science, si-fi, adventure, drama, this is the book for you. It is one of the best first novels by an author I've read. "Girl on the Train" being the other. This book is more than a science fiction book. Much more.
Andy Weir has written a wonderful entertaining, exciting book.
I highly recommend it.

Teriffic historical accounting of the Trial

Revisado: 07-19-15

This book is more for the historically inquisitive or scholar. It's not a novel, but is quite compelling and interesting. The authors do extensive research and character development of each defendant.
From the putting together of the tribunal, to the executions, it is a fascinating tale.
Coshams narration is compelling.
