Good story, Syrian refugees’ struggle to find safety, presented in a well written way which includes the struggles (understatement) and hardships endured …. and the horrors of Isis.

Historia
On April 30, 1975, the Communist capture of the city of Saigon brought an end to more than 20 years of war in Vietnam. The end of the war reunified a divided nation—and changed the course of global politics, military strategy, and international relations for decades to come. In the six lectures of The Fall of Saigon: The Vietnam War 50 Years in Review, historian Edward G. Lengel takes you back to the final years of the long and complex conflict that ravaged the small Southeast Asian nation of Vietnam and bled disastrously into surrounding countries, altering the region forever.

Good story

Surprise ending but understandable. Not sure of the decade setting. That would have been helpful. I get caught up with the demo of old neighborhoods and sometimes get distracted! But well written!

Who knew??
Revisado: 06-09-25
Politics of being a wine sommelier?? Who knew!! Consider the amount of personal finance and years of study and effort of the students.Tragic for the “class” of 2018 with no recourse and no accountability of the “board”. Shame on them…then and whoever enables these practices to continue .

Cozy
Revisado: 06-04-25
Nicely read. Easy listening. Cozy “mystery” although no surprise “who dunnit!” No need for a sequel but I’m sure there will be. Fairly focused on Agatha Christie.

Amazing story
Revisado: 06-02-25
Very well written story of the horrors of the WWII Pacific POW’s, American and any who rebelled against Japan. Although fiction, the story is written with many actual facts. God bless the memory of those who served, died, and survived.

His name was Feliks. He came to London to commit a murder that would change history. A master manipulator, he had many weapons at his command, but against him were ranged the whole of the English police, a brilliant and powerful lord, and the young Winston Churchill himself. These odds would have stopped any man in the world - except the man from St. Petersburg.

Difficult story but well written. All cultural shifts prove good and ill. Can’t live on “what ifs” and “if only”. Ken Follett delivers a good read.

Not completely predictable. Tough story line. Nazis will exist until the end of time. Worth the listen.
