An important historical accounting

Revisado: 06-18-23

As my review title indicates, and as I believe in its accuracy and truthfulness, this work is an important historical accounting.
As such, I encourage anyone and everyone to listen &/or read it.
I found the information within its pages to be as interesting as it is informative and, in several places, entertaining. I found Mr. Barr’s candor refreshing.
As a sincere patriot of these United States, it is encouraging to me to know that Wm. Barr and people like him have given so much of themselves serving to preserve the foundational principles and precepts envisioned and set forth by our nations founders - and that there are still many that stand in the gap in these late days while so many detractors strive to tear it all down.

A fun diversion

Revisado: 02-12-23

I’m glad to have chosen this title. It certainly is different from the 80 some odd books in my Audible library. I returned to listen in segments when I just wanted a diversion or something light and entertaining. I’m really not sure what I will ever do with the info gleaned but it was interesting and kind of fun. As I was thinking of what to write in this review, it dawned on me that it reminded me of the enjoyment I used to derive from the Paul Harvey feature “And now you know the rest of the story”.

Good and engaging story

Revisado: 02-11-23

Recommended by Bill O’Reilly. I enjoyed the story with its nested stories interwoven throughout. An interesting technique the author uses is to double back to tell the story from the perspective of other characters within a “scene”.

Important info for every American man, woman & child

Revisado: 12-26-22

An interesting and unbiased description of an important and very much newsworthy topic that will be ignored by MSM and therefore, exist below the radar of the bulk of the American public except as in snippets that do not reveal the true and nefarious - even existential threat level to our continued freedom loving lives in these United States.
I am thankful for the information contained in this book having been laid out so clearly and in the context of historical events for relatability.

Good suspense with a twist

Revisado: 11-11-22

Enjoyable. Certainly different. Great performance. Laughed out loud several times at the dry wit.
Can’t say I ever grasped the pollywog symbolism though.
I can recommend. Enjoy.

An important read

Revisado: 11-07-22

In my opinion, this was very important information for me and alas, anyone who considerers themselves a truth seeker.
It occurs to me the epilog and final thoughts of the author to be the important foreword of the piece vice the last words captured as the afterthoughts and contemplations of one who studied so completely and earnestly the events, having the invaluable input of those involved and consideration the after action information provided to him.
My mind was changed by this very thoughtful presentation of the facts and insights of those actually involved.
I am grateful for the knowledge I now possess.

Very interesting account

Revisado: 10-28-22

All the things we think we know basing that knowledge on what we have been taught and so believed to be true…
This account warrants further study although, I have no real reason to doubt its authenticity.
Certainly a worthwhile read and interesting, too, because of the insight the information brings light to regarding the tactics and methodologies being exhibited in the world’s politics - and closer to home, in the US.
Nothing new under the sun…

A story that had to be told

Revisado: 10-16-22

Absolutely shameful what was perpetrated upon these young men.
What other take away can there possibly be?

Very suspenseful

Revisado: 10-03-22

Largely entertaining and
interlaced with fanciful yet very suspenseful scenarios.
The realism in the descriptive text of some tactical methods &/or equipment, make the story easier to listen to than other books of the genre wherein the inaccuracies of verbiage or the voice actor’s mispronunciations detract from the otherwise good story lines for me. In my experience, that is certainly not so in this series. My 2 cents.

Enjoyable style and very interesting

Revisado: 09-24-22

I have plowed through numbers of books regarding the GWOT but all have been written from a military/war fighter or a CIA perspective.
This book was different because it addressed the topic from a law enforcement/USDOS perspective. Also, the time span and recounting of the terror events, investigations and capture of the perpetrators (groups & individuals) that occurred in the Nixon - even Kennedy - trough Reagan is a topic of high interest to me. This book examined things in that period when knowledge of exactly how to operate in that theater with the increasing ops tempo was in its infancy, our more modern hardware had not been developed or was in process and the specific tradecraft was being learned OJT style in a life or death world political atmosphere.
I recommend the read or listen and would like to convey my profound appreciation to Mr. Burton and all the others that gave sacrificially of their personal and professional selves for our collective safety.
