In the wake of a humbling incident aboard a canal boat in the Cotswolds, young Captain Horatio Hornblower arrives in London to take command of the Atropos, a 22-gun sloop barely large enough to require a captain. Her first assignment under Hornblower's command is as flagship for the funeral procession of Lord Nelson.

Terrible narration
Revisado: 11-22-23
The narration is often detached, sometimes whispered, sometimes sing song, and nearly always annoying. It’s a shame, because this is a classic Hornblower story that deserved better.

Since its publication in 1960, William L. Shirer’s monumental study of Hitler’s German empire has been widely acclaimed as the definitive record of the 20th century’s blackest hours. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich offers an unparalleled and thrillingly told examination of how Adolf Hitler nearly succeeded in conquering the world. With millions of copies in print around the globe, it has attained the status of a vital and enduring classic.

Rise and Fall holds up 60 + years later
Revisado: 06-10-22
I first read this compelling and detailed history as a young teenager, and I read it a second time 30 years later. Listening to Grover Gardeners excellent narration after another three decades, I’m struck at how relevant it remains for a modern reader; a warning that one man can lead millions into disgrace and inflict horror and misery on millions more.

Nigel Hamilton's Mantle of Command, long-listed for the National Book Award, drew on years of archival research and interviews to portray FDR in a tight close-up as he determined Allied strategy in the crucial initial phases of World War II. Commander in Chief reveals the astonishing sequel - suppressed by Winston Churchill in his memoirs - of Roosevelt's battles with Churchill to maintain that strategy.

Irritating narration
Revisado: 04-20-17
Having enjoyed a different narrator's style in book one of the trilogy, I was startled, then annoyed by the sing song,breathlessly urgent narration of this volume. It greatly detracted from my enjoyment of an otherwise excellent book.
