A man's man hero story, with heart and sympathy

Revisado: 12-17-24

Well written, spicy dialogue, engaging characters,
imaginative plot lines, what's not to like??
Police, and local street gangs are thoughtfully
included in plots, The priest and professor and
irish humor made me laugh!

Revisado: 07-13-24

It doesn't get any better, the cast the production,
the story, the gentle humor, most of all it makes the german people appealing and fun.

Revisado: 11-20-23

Deep dive into personalities of Luthet and Erasmus,
sensative portrait of convictions and struggles of both.
 Accurate on their stories and impact on the modern
World. All book cheracters are sympathetically put into
Their historical context, This is a gteat blend of storytelling, Personalities and disputes that put
Them on history’s central stage. I thoight I knew
This story, but after this book my insights doubled.

The first literary historical description of the sufferings of the german people in WW2

Revisado: 07-31-23

Virtually all ww2 stories focus on the sufferings of the Jews, and minorities in the war. This book also accurately
describes the greatest population of innocent Germans. when hitlers armies marched east there were no patriotic crowds sending them off, by
1942 most german civilians knew that their leaders
were insane. The Regular german army knew virtually nothing about the Jewish extermination camps except by rumors. Look at life of Bonhoffer!!

cardinal virtues is a stunningly great book

Revisado: 06-20-22

In the line of the 1632 series it puts the listener into the minds and circumstances of the French court after Cardinal Richleu's death. Filled with historically accurate and finely crafted verbal fencing of the high court it is a treat for all who long to understand thisi world long past. It creates mental pictures much sharper than any movie I have ever seen. Highest reccomendation!!!

Grand finish to Honor harrington series

Revisado: 10-23-21

A satisfying dramatic ending to the honor harrington epic. Great dialog, many clues to further stories, and marvelous characters.
Even villians are redeemed and made interesting in the context of their feelings and choices. Its hard to think of a more family centered ending.
