Historia
January 1945: As Hitler's Germany and Tojo's Japan collapse, General George Marshall dies unexpectedly days before the critical Yalta Conference. His successor as US Army Chief of Staff, General Douglas MacArthur, flies halfway around the world to butt heads with Josef Stalin and change history. When MacArthur relieves General Dwight D. Eisenhower from command in Europe, the Anglo-Allied advance devolves into a free-for-all as competing armies race for Berlin, and the changes echo across the globe.

What made the experience of listening to MacArthur's Luck, Part One: Laying the Bet the most enjoyable?
To be clear, I was asked to review this for the publication I write for but was unfamiliar with the writer or the narrator. Well... the man reading it was one of a kind. Very special talent. Large variety of voices but true and real The writer was detailed about the history of the period and penned some very,very interesting and sympathetic characters, this whole moment in history is absolutely dramatic and riveting I have studied it and thought this was a very original and striking way to appreciate it
Who was your favorite character and why?
Actually some might disagree but I liked MacArthur in this. In history we are given an unreal depiction of him. Here the writer seems to expose all sides of him, makes him human but flawed but also grand and the kind of man we needed at the time to lead.
What about Robert Thaler’s performance did you like?
This man finds humor in the strangest situations. You feel what he reads and you see it. And its a remarkable voice.
Who was the most memorable character of MacArthur's Luck, Part One: Laying the Bet and why?
I don't think there was just one. There were so many. It was rather amazing. Dmitri the Russian fighter was sweet and sad, Konev was harsh but funny, one of the German officers was very,very poignant, another was a brutal pig,- the Americans were all portrayed realistically and written with flair
Any additional comments?
I'd buy this one just to listen a second and third time. It's that good., a diamond in the rough
