This is only a book for people who need Tough-love!

Revisado: 07-09-24

I would not advise people who have had traumatic experiences or have accomplished quite a bit in their life to listen to this book.

He is very crass and dogmatic, and I don’t think that he has led the kind of accomplished life that justifies being his being on such a high horse.

The book would be good for a limited segment of the population who are lazy or who have never given a hard effort towards accomplished goals.

There are some people who need such advice, but I don’t think that kind of advice should be given unless you know someone personally.

The madness of the Soviet union

Revisado: 06-01-24

The work was a monumental achievement of scholarship and diligence. For an American author, or any author, to have the patient to go through the archive to compile a factual chronology is amazing, listening to such a book, however, does require patience, especially because of the unfamiliar Russian names and regions. If you are a student of western history, this is an important work by a great historian, read by a masterful narrator.

Helpful guide for patients by a patient

Revisado: 10-22-23

The book was a concise story of one person’s experience, and I appreciate the author’s sharing his story. This is a short guideline of the process from the patient’s perspective. Don’t expect a technical or medical analysis. Such information is available from scientific literature available on the Internet. This is an observation, not a criticism.

I urge anyone who loves music to listen to this book!

Revisado: 02-28-21

Professor Greenberg combined his knowledge, emotions and perspective to denote and explain sufficient for one to listen on his or her own, some of the great works of music. He performs it as well as anyone could because he knows his own text and he has a wonderful voice which is compelling for the text he wrote.

I also appreciated his explanation of why Bartok was not “included“ and his opinions about the future of new music.

Everything that a non-fiction historical work should be!

Revisado: 02-07-21

Sheds this some time to myth that a military man is not a scholar. This was a compelling story about an abject failure of civilian and military leader ship told in a straightforward style. General McMaster also did a wonderful job reading his work. This book should be required reading as it represents the greatest failure of a president in modern history. There are so many lessons for future leader ship in this book. Thank you General McMaster.

Mediocre Bio

Revisado: 10-27-19

While the narrator was very good, this is another example of this author‘s inability to distance himself from the protagonist of his book, resulting in a report of dubious credibility. Too much “National Inquirer” not enough “New York Times.“

The subtitle is 100% accurate!

Revisado: 10-19-19

There is no great drama or excitement here, but there’s seldom is when you have an excellent book about an excellent human being such as General Marshall. The history of true heroes is very seldom spellbinding because that’s not the way that excellent people typically are.

The author prepared a fair and well-written history of a great man, and the narrator did an excellent job presenting the material. This book should be required reading for anyone who wants to improve how they manage people and for military training and training of executives in all fields.

The best possible book on this topic

Revisado: 07-23-19

George Orwell has always been my favorite author in the English language, so this timely exposition of his biography connected to the writing of 1984 was wonderful. It was appropriate it was narrated by a British-speaking person. The book was interesting on three levels: general biography of Orwell. The circumstances surrounding his writing of the book. Observations over time about the book and it’s impact on modern political thought.

Insight into brilliance and accomplishment

Revisado: 06-28-19

Mr. Caro’s Life work, the book on Robert Moses and the biographies of Lyndon Johnson, are legendary. Those of us who admire him have always wanted to know the backstory-how such a brilliant man engaged in a lifetime of hard work in order to bring the books to print.

This book does not completely serve that purpose; it couldn’t, because only another person using the process that Caro used for his books could tell the story of Caro himself. But, this brilliantly written and narrated peace is a wonderful benefit to all of us who admire Mr. Caro.

Also, I’m glad that Robert narrated the piece himself; that New York accent underscores who the man is and elucidates his writing style as well.

Wonderfully told the story of one of the most important cultural figures of our time

Revisado: 06-21-19

The Beatles were the most important cultural influence during the last 60 years, and without George Martin, they would not have been what they ended up being. George Martin, with his quiet confidence, with and intelligence did much more than simply record the group well; he absolutely contributed to the compositions and added inspiration to the process. The story was wonderfully written, and the narrator was first class, often reading the quotations in the voice of the person quoted.
