Democracies can die with a coup d'état - or they can die slowly. This happens most deceptively when in piecemeal fashion, with the election of an authoritarian leader, the abuse of governmental power and the complete repression of opposition. All three steps are being taken around the world - not least with the election of Donald Trump - and we must all understand how we can stop them.

Bad
Revisado: 02-03-19
Takes an important topic and twists it. Just another case of the media providing a skewed opinion to influence people by.

But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch’s precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever.

Not as good as his other books
Revisado: 04-13-18
Story line was not as good could figure it out well before the end. A little drawn out.

John Puller's mother disappeared nearly 30 years ago. Despite an intensive search and investigation, she was never seen again. But new allegations have come to light suggesting that Puller's father - now suffering from dementia and living in a VA hospital - may have murdered his wife. Puller is officially barred from working on the case and faces a potential court-martial if he disobeys the order, but he knows he can't sit this investigation out.

For more than 20 years since his New York Times best seller Don't Know Much About History first appeared, Davis has shown that Americans don't hate history, just the dull version dished out in school. Now Davis turns his attention to what is arguably the most important and most fascinating subject in American history: our presidents. From the heated debates over executive powers through the curious election of George Washington in 1789 and, for more than 200 years, up through the meteoric rise of Barack Obama, the presidency has been at the heart of American history.

Too Biased
- De Justin Swihart en 05-29-13
Informative
Revisado: 08-08-15
Would you listen to Don't Know Much About the American Presidents again? Why?
No, once was enough. It is history.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Teddy Roosevelt
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
Yes, did a nice job
Any additional comments?
When you're dealing with politics, there is always a bias. Needless to say, this book leans democratic or thinking that the liberal way is always the preferred method, which leads to the authors accuracy of information and providing the whole truth about things and not what they just want to tell you.

Here, witness Chicago's growth from a desolate fur-trading post in the 1830s to one of the world's most explosively alive cities by 1900. Donald Miller's powerful narrative embraces it all: Chicago's wild beginnings, its reckless growth, its natural calamities (especially the Great Fire of 1871), its raucous politics, its empire-building businessmen, its world-transforming architecture, its rich mix of cultures, its community of young writers and journalists, and its staggering engineering projects.

Great history of Chicago
Revisado: 07-23-15
Very comprehensive tale of life in Chicago during the 1800's. It was interesting to find out where many of the city's street names came from and how everything was developed. Well worth the 25 hours.

As the ground war struggled for success in Vietnam, it became intensely clear that the skies had to be owned by the allies for victory to have a chance. It was the F-4 and its pilots that made that possible. The author, a Phantom pilot himself, details intense stories of undaunted and valiant American pilots with their legendary fierce Phantom. These are personal stories of intrepid courage and self-sacrifice to get the mission done - whatever the cost.
