Great

Revisado: 01-08-25

I was looking forward to entries as they ramped up for war, during the outbreak, and then on and after D-day, but there's nothing from those time frames at all. With that said, I really liked it. It's an fascinating, raw, and unfiltered insight into an officer's point of view, before and during the war.

It Doesn't Get Better Than This (The Entire Series)

Revisado: 06-16-24

I've read and/or listened to untold numbers of books related to WWII. I didn't think I could enjoy a book (or a series of books) covering the war on such a grand scale. I was so wrong! All three books are incredible and kept me interested all the way through. Ian Toll is a masterful writer and the narration was up to par.

Series has become a favorite!

I was hoping for the same narrator in this, the second book, but he's just as good. Amazing series!

Great book, but it relies too heavily on the PDF.

Revisado: 02-10-24

As mentioned in the title, I really liked the book, but it relies to heavily on the PDF for it to be an audiobook. You're definitely not getting the most of this book if you're listening while you're driving, as I'm often doing. Some books just are not meant to be audiobooks.

Great book and performance.

My only issue was that I cringed every time the narrator incorrectly pronounced Bill Guarnere's last name. Interestingly enough, he pronounces it the exact same way that the narrator pronounces it in the Band of Brothers audiobook, and it's not even the same narrator. Otherwise, his narration is one of the best I've had the pleasure of listening to.

Excellent book

Revisado: 08-11-23

My main reason for writing this review is to point out that I didn't mind the author's narration at all. Sure, she's not a professional narrator, but those who say she sounds unnatural and makes all sorts of mistakes make me wonder if they were laser focused on her diction and not on the content. I didn't notice any glaring issues. She sounded as though she were doing a Ted Talk. I'm glad I listened to it.

Amazing!

One of the greatest books I've read and/or listened to. The narrator was perfect. Robin Olds was an incredible man and I'm so grateful that his daughter made his life's story into this book.

Good follow up to a great book.

Revisado: 01-31-22

First, I know Joe Galloway's voice well enough that it was a distraction having him read a book that references him, but is written entirely from General Moore's point of view. I was constantly catching myself forgetting this.

Otherwise it was good, although some of it was redundant, for those who've already read "We Were Soldiers...", which I would imagine is everyone.

Great book.

Revisado: 11-12-21

Read the book many years ago. I can't believe how much I had not remembered. Great book, and the guy did a great job, EXCEPT that he consistently pronounced Guarnere wrong, which is unacceptable.

Great book and narration.

Revisado: 09-12-21

One of my all time favorite books. I read it way back when it was first published. The narrator did a fantastic job.
