It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Surprised at how much I enjoyed it
Revisado: 02-26-23
The writing is very good. Kudos to the ghost writer. And Harry is a good narrator. I thought I would be annoyed by all the privilege, and I was at times, but I truly felt I walked awhile in someone else’s shoe. I learned a few things, and now feel much more sympathetic to Harry and his family.

When a woman unexpectedly loses her lifelong best friend and mentor, she finds herself burdened with the unwanted dog he has left behind. Her own battle against grief is intensified by the mute suffering of the dog, a huge Great Dane traumatized by the inexplicable disappearance of its master, and by the threat of eviction: Dogs are prohibited in her apartment building. While others worry that grief has made her a victim of magical thinking, the woman refuses to be separated from the dog except for brief periods of time.

Could not stop listening

I loved the narrator. She was candid and insightful. The story is full of her musing on writers and their writing. It's a quick listen -- just a few dog walks and I was done.

The Blitz continued to rain down on the shell and morale of the Nation’s defences. In the cold grey waters of the North Atlantic wolfpacks of enemy U boats hunted down with ruthless efficiency the supply lines that could keep Britain in the war. Through the year the enemy produced many of their grandest victories but Britain was able to stabilise its position in the Middle East although setbacks at the hands of the newly arrived Rommel, the Desert Fox, were encountered in North Africa.

Annoying, gratuitous soundtrack
Revisado: 01-07-12
What would have made Winston S. Churchill: The History of the Second World War, Volume 3 - The Grand Alliance better?
I really loved listening to volumes 1 and 2, but volume 3 adds a hokey musical soundtrack during dramatic events. It is too loud to tune out, so it's very annoying. So much so, that I have stopped listening to it. I'm really disappointed. I was looking forward to listening to all the volumes, but will not if they are like this one. I don't understand why the producers added this loud, very cliched soundtrack. The narrative is dramatic enough. Nothing else is needed.
What did you like best about this story?
This is a great historical account.
Have you listened to any of Michael Jayston’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
He is excellent.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Winston S. Churchill: The History of the Second World War, Volume 3 - The Grand Alliance?
I would have cut out the loud, distracting music.
Any additional comments?
Would audible consider providing a version of these volumes without the soundtrack?
