Told from the point of view of the men who waged this steel-shattering battle, The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors captures Navy pilots attacking enemy battleships with makeshift weapons and sacrificial valor, a veteran commander improvising tactics never taught in Annapolis, and young crews from across America rising to an impossible challenge.

You don't see people like this outside the military, and doubt that there is the material in our culture these days who could do what these men did.. I tried to tell a friend about the 'charge of the escort destroyers into certain death' and chocked up - I had to stop. It was a very moving episode in American naval history..

Dr. M. Scott Peck has inspired millions by combining the deepest insights of psychiatry with those of religion. In this first of a three volume audio series based on his best-selling book People of the Lie, Dr. Peck once again integrates religious teaching with the science of psychology as he offers hope for healing one of society's most persistent failings -- human evil.

The Psychopath Test is a fascinating journey through the minds of madness. Jon Ronson's exploration of a potential hoax being played on the world's top neurologists takes him, unexpectedly, into the heart of the madness industry. An influential psychologist who is convinced that many important CEOs and politicians are, in fact, psychopaths teaches Ronson how to spot these high-flying individuals by looking out for little telltale verbal and nonverbal clues.

Interesting material - weak presentation
Revisado: 12-19-11
If you could sum up The Psychopath Test in three words, what would they be?
Eye opening material
Would you listen to another book narrated by Jon Ronson?
Probably
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Woman sociopath watching real grief and then imitating and practicing the display of grief before a mirror.
Any additional comments?
Audiobook merits repeated listenings as there are many more of these people around us than previously thought. Even among a few very old friends I see much of what is described; uncaring, unfeeling, emotionless two-dimensional people manipulating all around them.
