Historia
Major Sean Drummond never says die. Especially when an old flame begs him to defend her brigadier general husband in the biggest treason case in US history. And even when Drummond is up against the fiercest prosecutor in the Army and fighting two murder charges. With an unconventional and beautiful co-counsel, Drummond plunges into an investigation that will unearth a damning array of secrets and cover-ups - and reveal a master manipulator who doesn't care who or what goes up in flames.

Almost a great book
Revisado: 02-13-15
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
yes -i learned a great deal about survival tecniques
What other book might you compare Going Home to and why?
Don'r know
How could the performance have been better?
While the different characters were done pretty well. He clearly has talent. However, narrator's voice was much too formal and monotone. I would respectfully suggest that he modify his speaking voice somewhat-maybe a little gravely, slight accent something more memorable
Did Going Home inspire you to do anything?
Yeah-think about survival
Any additional comments?
I think this author is like most of the others not completing the story in order to set up the sequel. Sort of what like Michael Connolly likes to do. I am always annoyed when he does it-but I seem to always come back for more

I was a bit hesitent with Mark Greaney writing in Clancy's name. But took a chance becauseScott Brick was the performer and I didn't think he would be involved with a "stinker" at this point in his career. And I was correct-great work Scott!
Great work Mark!!

Historia
In this stirring audiobook, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence, when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.

What did you love best about 1776?
Everything ! The unbiased truth about General Washington and the depiction of the war from every account

The courage exhibited by the army under the most difficult conditions one can possibly imagine. And the crossing the Delaware on Christmas Eve of course
Which character – as performed by David McCullough – was your favorite?
No Doubt- General Washington first Generals' Lewis and Knox
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There are many insights into Washington's mind, was he was in doubt, the tactical mistakes he made and his undaunted state of being. some where his sheer presence was enough to carry the day. You will no doubt agree, if not for him we would still could be British subjects
Any additional comments?
Highly recommend
