A desperate Kremlin takes advantage of a military crisis in Asia to simultaneously strike into Western Europe and invade east Africa in a bid to occupy three rare Earth mineral mines that will give Russia unprecedented control over the world's hi-tech sector for generations to come. Pitted against the Russians are a Marine lieutenant colonel pulled out of a cushy Pentagon job, a French Special Forces captain and his intelligence operative father, a young Polish partisan fighter, an A-10 Warthog pilot, and the commander of an American tank platoon....

Another Shaara book hit!
Revisado: 09-10-17
If you could sum up The Frozen Hours in three words, what would they be?
You are there.
Who was your favorite character and why?
General Smith. Well developed character. A man of conviction. A warrior. He was the playmaker without whom Chosin would have been another Custer's Last Stand.
Which character – as performed by Paul Michael – was your favorite?
General Smith
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Cry. My father told me of that war. He was there; one of three he fought in. So hard.
Any additional comments?
Jeff Shaara and his father are(were) great story tellers and students of military history. They get events out of the level of news reels and down on the ground where the goats can get to it. Baah..

In the 18th and early 19th centuries, a Native American empire rose to dominate the fiercely contested lands of the American Southwest, the southern Great Plains, and northern Mexico. This powerful empire, built by the Comanche Indians, eclipsed its various European rivals in military prowess, political prestige, economic power, commercial reach, and cultural influence. Yet, until now, the Comanche empire has gone unrecognized in American history. This compelling and original book uncovers the lost story of the Comanches.

A Story you probably never heard before
Revisado: 09-10-17
Would you try another book from Pekka Hamalainen and/or Carla Mercer-Meyer?
Yes, by Hamalainen. The research and organizational work was impressive.
Who was your favorite character and why?
NA This was more of a historical account.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Carla Mercer-Meyer?
Probably not a historical book. A bit monotone for me. Some of the narration had pauses in the wrong place. It was sort of like there was not enough rehearsal in advance of recording the final product.
Any additional comments?
For anyone interested in the history of the Southwest, this is quite a book.

Team Yankee, the New York Times best-seller by Harold Coyle, presents a glimpse of what it would have been like for the soldiers who would have had to meet the relentless onslaught of Soviet and Warsaw Pact divisions. Using the geo-political and military scenarios described by General Sir John Hackett, former NORTHAG commander and author of World War Three; August 1985, Team Yankee follows the war as seen from the turret of Captain Sean Bannon's tank.

An interesting book in its time.
Revisado: 03-13-17
Any additional comments?
Team Yankee takes place before the fall of the Soviet Union. It was originally published in August 1986. It should be approached as an alternate history book rather than a future scenario type book to enjoy it thoroughly. It is a good war story yarn.

Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.

On September 19, 1356, a heavily outnumbered English army faced off against the French in the historic Battle of Poitiers. In 1356, Cornwell resurrects this dramatic and bloody struggle - one that would turn out to be the most decisive and improbable victory of the Hundred Years' War, a clash where the underdog English not only the captured the strategic site of Poitiers, but the French King John II as well.

As good as Argincourt
Revisado: 02-28-13
Would you consider the audio edition of 1356 to be better than the print version?
Do not know
What does Jack Hawkins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Additional definition to the characters.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No. It was very entertaining. The detail held my attention. It seemed to be well researched.
Any additional comments?
Splendid story. I enjoyed Argincourt a few years ago. It was not a series so finding this was a treat.

This is one of the defining novels of English writer Julian Barnes. An entertaining melange of stories starting with a contemporary account of the launch of Noah's Ark takes us into unexpected areas of human foibles, activities, and tendencies.
