Historia
Andrew Roberts' Napoleon is the first one-volume biography to take advantage of the recent publication of Napoleon's thirty-three thousand letters, which radically transform our understanding of his character and motivation. At last we see him as he was: protean multitasker, decisive, surprisingly willing to forgive his enemies and his errant wife Josephine.

This was a very long listen, but well worth it. I enjoyed it so much. I was sad when the story ended.

Historia
In The Butchering Art, the historian Lindsey Fitzharris reveals the shocking world of 19th-century surgery on the eve of profound transformation. She conjures up early operating theaters - no place for the squeamish - and surgeons, working before anesthesia, who were lauded for their speed and brute strength. They were baffled by the persistent infections that kept mortality rates stubbornly high. A young, melancholy Quaker surgeon named Joseph Lister would solve the deadly riddle and change the course of history.

I am not in the medical field, and I loved it.
Revisado: 02-09-24
I am not in the medical profession, but my girlfriend is a doctor and I listened to this because I thought it would give us something to discuss. I was pleasantly surprised that it was written in layman terms. It was an exciting biography about a man who combined science and medicine. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the book.

Historia
With insight, humor, formal invention, and lyricism, in A Man of Two Faces Viet Thanh Nguyen rewinds the film of his own life. He expands the genre of personal memoir by acknowledging larger stories of refugeehood, colonization, and ideas about Vietnam and America, writing with his trademark sardonic wit and incisive analysis, as well as a deep emotional openness about his life as a father and a son.

I did two tours in Vietnam living with the Vietnamese 24/7. I went to Vietnamese language school, which allowed me to get really familiar with the people, and they became like family. I have made five trips back between 2016-19, and they all treat Americans extremely well. I stayed long enough to make many Vietnamese friends all over their country.
This book was written by the most self absorbed, ungrateful person I have ever had the displeasure of listening to. His 4.8 rating must be because it is required listening by the anti-American left. He even discredits his own brother for being smarter and graduating from Yale. He attacks the support families that took his family in when they came to America. His negativity never stopped. To the victor belongs the spoils has always been the case since time began, and then things change. To still be angry about how some people were treated a century ago instead of focusing on how far we have come is a waste of time. Should we still be angry with the Romans, Muslims, British, etc., from ages ago? How far back it too long?
I returned this book after forcing my way through the first half, which was a total waste of the time I have left in my life. Avoid this book unless you also hate America like this author does.

Historia
William Barr’s first tenure as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush was largely the result of chance, while his second tenure under President Donald Trump a deliberate and difficult choice. In this candid memoir, Barr takes listeners behind the scenes during seminal moments of the 1990s, from the LA riots to Pan Am 103 and Iran Contra. Thirty years later, Barr faced an unrelenting barrage of issues, such as Russiagate, the COVID outbreak, civil unrest, the impeachments, and the 2020 election fallout.

It was good to hear that he was loyal to Trump. Listening maked me feel better about the election because I understand now the process and what happened. Trump did a great job protecting us from Hillary, exposing the press and our enemies, but is very self serving. This was a great listen from beginning to end.

Historia
It was a devastating triple punch. Capping their four-year campaign to destroy the Trump presidency, the media portrayed a Democratic victory as necessary and inevitable. Big Tech, wielding unprecedented powers, vaporized dissent and erased damning reports about the Biden family’s corruption. Rigged is the definitive account of the 2020 election. Based on Mollie Hemingway’s exclusive interviews with campaign officials, reporters, Supreme Court justices, and President Trump himself, it exposes the fraud and cynicism behind the Democrats’ historic power grab.

Revisado: 08-03-23
Amazingly, factual, and explains how a bungling career politician, who finished near the bottom of his class, was able to claim he won the election. Shame on the people so intent on power, they are willing to divide and destroy America. I wish I could get my Democrat friends to read this book.

Historia
Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

Loved listening to this book, it was very clever and a ton of fun to listen to. I highly recommend. We give tons of money overseas but neglect our own, what a shame.

Lyndon Johnson, an opponent of civil rights, was a great man, and Nixon should not have run, are you kidding? Trump bashing starts 1:15. Dan defends the lying press, with no mention of why he got fired from CBS...one-sided. He is way past his relevancy.

Historia
Narrated by Emmy Award–winning actor Martin Sheen, The Home Front: Life in America During World War II takes listeners into the lives of Americans at home—part of the Greatest Generation—who supported the war effort and sustained the country during wartime. The war brought immediate, life-changing shifts: the rationing of meat, dairy products, and sugar; an explosion of war-related jobs; and, despite mixed signals, a greater role for women working outside the home.

Very, very good listen!!! I was surprised about the deception of the government getting us into WWI & II. Seems like it is still happening now.
As a veteran from Vietnam, with severe PTSD, you would have thought, from the Chapter on PTSD, the government would have done a better job helping us when we came back.

Historia
Devora Zack, an avowed introvert and a successful consultant who speaks to thousands of people every year, found that most networking advice books assume that to succeed you have to become an extrovert. Or at least learn how to fake it. Not at all. There is another way. This audiobook shatters stereotypes about people who dislike networking. They’re not shy or misanthropic. Rather, they tend to be reflective - they think before they talk. They focus intensely on a few things rather than broadly on a lot of things. And they need time alone to recharge.

I maybe the wrong person to weigh in with a review. Having founded a large networking organization and spent 5-plus decades in sales, this might be useful for the very beginning of someone getting into networking.
