Ulysses S. Grant's life has typically been misunderstood. All too often he is caricatured as a chronic loser and an inept businessman or as the triumphant but brutal Union general of the Civil War. But these stereotypes don't come close to capturing him, as Chernow reveals in his masterful biography, the first to provide a complete understanding of the general and president whose fortunes rose and fell with dizzying speed and frequency.

Between 1861 and 1865, the clash of the greatest armies the Western hemisphere had ever seen turned small towns, little-known streams, and obscure meadows in the American countryside into names we will always remember. In those great battles, those streams ran red with blood-and the United States was truly born.

When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Some meat in the story. Names, and more names, no meat on these bones. Could have just as easily linked all these people to Ivy league schools. A waste of time even if you are predisposed to want to agree with him.
What was most disappointing about Daniel Estulin’s story?
Henry Kissinger is apparently the worst person ever born.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Nothing he was fine, not much to work with.
Any additional comments?
Total crap

German intelligence officer Captain Gregor Reinhardt has just been reassigned to the Feldjaegerkorps - a new branch of the military police with far-reaching powers. His position separates him from the friends and allies he has made in the last two years. And he needs them now more than ever. While retreating through Yugoslavia with the rest of the army, Reinhardt witnesses a massacre of civilians by the dreaded Ustaše - only to discover that there is more to the incident than anyone believes.

Well done, great performance
Revisado: 12-09-15
If you could sum up Homage to Catalonia in three words, what would they be?
Historic, clear, realistic
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the atmosphere in Barcelona changes and the veil is lifted.
Any additional comments?
This was more of a radio show then a reading of a book. Very well done. Great story of the awakening of a socialistic idealist to the reality that socialism is really just another form of fascism.

If you'd like to improve your ability to learn the German language by as much as 100%, 200%, even 300% (or more) using simple memory techniques that you can learn in 15-20 minutes (or less), then this may be the most important book you will ever listen to. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter if you have a good memory or not. These techniques have been used by real language learners, most of whom previously considered themselves owners of a "bad memory" to make real strides in acquiring German.

Horrific!!!
Revisado: 04-28-14
What would have made How to Learn and Memorize German Vocabulary better?
This guy may have learned German, but the narrator has no idea how to pronounce anything in German and also has trouble with some English words. This delivery is indeed horrific with no care or thought to how it is read. I caution you, do not listen to this in your car as you will be tempted to drive off the road. Perhaps on paper this is okay, have no idea and will not go near anything this guy has produced again. No matter how you try to focus on the concepts the deliver is so p--s poor that it is impossible.
Would you ever listen to anything by Anthony Metivier again?
No, this was just that bad, who chose this narrator anyway?
How could the performance have been better?
I dare you to try and listen to this. It could not have been worse. Terrible pacing, no emphasis on what is important, just awful.
Any additional comments?
Want my money back, this is disastrous all around.
