A Real Look At Combat Command

Revisado: 02-19-21

Excellent book on what war is like on a Company level . Honestly told, warts and all. Captain MacDonald saves the best for the last two chapters. I have read other books that describe the effect of the end of the war but the emotion of how the troops felt when they liberated towns made me feel a pride in those troops that transcends the "thank you for your service " comments of today. Very well communicated.

Triston Morris did a very good reading. Doubt it could have been improved upon by anyone else.

End of Silva

Revisado: 02-08-21

I have enjoyed Daniel Silva for years and was very disappointed that he allowed his political beliefs overtake his story. It will be the last.

A True American Hero

Revisado: 02-08-21

A well written, informative biography about one of the most interesting men who graced this Nation. Learned more about the man then I thought there was to learn and also about the times and his environment. A good and fair portrayal of the American Indian of the time.
James Jenner performed very well as the reader. Pleasant to listen to also.

The U.S. Armies Finest Hour

Revisado: 02-08-21

Having grown up learning how the American Army panicked and ran during the initial assault I was happy to listen to a fair, informative and at times entertaining history. To say it was in depth is an understatement. He incorporates both sides and a truer picture of the events unfold. Having been in action at the Bulge, Mr. MacDonald brings a knowledge and passion which serves him and the reader/listener well
The only thing I could say negatively is that it should be read first, in book form as there is a lot of information and I am sure that there are maps etc. included in the printed version ( which I will be ordering).
Traber Burns performed very well. A sure sign that a performer has done well is when you can not think of anyone who could have done it better or as well. That is the case with Mr. Burns.

Entertainingly Good Pirate

Revisado: 07-19-20

Good story line and the dialogue was very good except near the end between the Admirals.
The narration was excellent and probably made the book better!

Truth Never Ages

Revisado: 06-18-20

I originally read this back in '90/91 and loved it. Walter Williams is a national treasure (along with his buddy Tom Sowell). He writes crisply and his thoughts are clear. Common Sense and Intelligence with a good dose of humor is his trade mark. This book has not lost it's relevance at all - just change some of the names of the bad actors.

Peter Kjenaas performed well.

Another Hero to Entertain Us

Revisado: 06-18-20

Good story, interesting character. Not sure if a human could endure what he did but it added to his toughness. A good cross between Reacher and Allon. It looks like I will be binge listening to Mark Greaney for a bit.

Jay Snider was very, very good in his narration.

Infinite doesn't come close.

Revisado: 06-18-20

The first 7 minutes and 48 seconds of this book was entertainingly funny. Then the repetitiveness set in and as hard as I tried I couldn't continue. I skipped chapters to hear if the story changed but it didn't.

The narration was OK. I am not sure who could have made this better.

History Told As It Should

Revisado: 06-15-20

Mr. Beevor has taken on an immense topic and conquered it. Gave credit when credit was due but did not have appear to have an axe to grind. Criticisms were fair and he painted a clear picture for the novice and seasoned reader of WWII history. Wonderful book on a disastrous period.

Sean Barrett, the narrator, was excellent. He was consistent throughout and was pleasant to listen to considering the length of the book.

All in all it was one of the best histories of that and any period.

Grief

Revisado: 05-09-20

As a fan of Lewis this did not disappoint me. His writing is wonderful to listen to being read and Douglas Gresham does a very nice job. Lewis, after the death of his wife wrote on the subject of grief with great honesty and emotion. As with most of Lewis's books, I will be listening to it several times.
