great read

A really interesting story of some very famous planes including the U2 SR71 and F117. It was engaging, interesting and informative.

If you have any interest in aeroplanes you should stop reading this review and get this book.

Interesting and we'll presented

Revisado: 07-15-17

Interesting information presented in an easy to listen to manner.

The narrator is fantastic, I wish he did all my books.

If you're well versed in the tech world you will still get enjoyment from this book and learn something despite not being shocked by its contents.

If you know nothing of technology then this book will no doubt surprise you about what has been going on around you.

Great read

I always like this narrator, probably my favourite of the 10 or so I've experienced.

There's not much to say other than its a good book. The story follows the investigation and trial and some post trial investigation.

If you like non fictional investigations, buy this book.

An interesting story told at a dull pace

Revisado: 05-17-17

The topics were quite interesting, but the book doesn't finish as strongly as it starts. The Stuxnet/Olympic games part at the start of the book is by far the best part and the story doesn't really conclude, I guess because Obama's second term hadn't started at the time of writing.

I had to set the narration speed to x1.1 to stop the author from putting me to sleep. Fine voice but such a slow reading speed...

Thoroughly insightful, couldn't put it down

Revisado: 04-27-17

Most authors should not narrate their own stories but Gen Hayden is a rare exception. His narration is supurb.

I think he made his case regarding Prism, CyberCom and RDIs eloquently and passionately. And whilst I still disagree with some of his opinions and decisions, I do not doubt his integrity, patriotism, professionalism or abilities.

A very well written, very thoughtful perspective on a unique chapter of recent history.

Please write (and narrate) another book, I don't even care what topic you write about, I will buy it.

Amazing book

Revisado: 02-07-17

Loved the book. An extremely interesting read that calls into light a lot of the 'facts' that are spread around the world.

The only criticism is around approximately chapter 41, the author goes on a rant about the Democrat party in the US and equates government regulation as one step removed from communistic tyranny and only the pure capitalism of America can lead to anything but despotism. Whilst I appreciate the unique viewpoint of the author, it has been shown again and again that social democracies such as Scandinavia and Australia have better performing economies, social fluidity, life expectancy, personal wealth, higher education and other metrics than the USA which lags behind in. So I find his rabid hatred of socialised democracies misplaced but not unexpected.

A fantastic read. This book is almost mandatory for anyone that considers themselves at least briefly acquainted with politics and modern history.

Brilliant

Awesome book. Interesting, factual and read by a fantastic narrator.

I found it interesting to contrast Morell's views with that of Tenant's of the same time period. Read this first though.

Great book

Revisado: 11-23-16

Fascinating and really well narrated.

It wasn't exceedingly critical of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, it spoke about facts fairly calmly and called a spade a spade without any obvious malice.

I likes the tone and I was unaware of a lot of the incidents from recent history being connected to one another.

An interesting read, but skip chapter 5

Revisado: 11-23-16

I thought the book was quite interesting except for chapter 5 which was absurd stupidity. "Social welfare causes terrorism and Europeans are all racists unlike Americans who are tolerant and friendly"... Are you serious?!

Skip that chapter and you'll love this book.

As for the narrator, I don't like him personally, but that's just me.
