Unequivocal recommendation

Revisado: 09-08-20

A story of sacrifice and suffering by each of the hero characters, warriors, wives, nurses, citizens. Further detail would require spoilers.

No hesitation in strongly recommending to every Audible listener

Worthy British Mystery

Revisado: 01-19-20

Not my normal genre but took a chance based on good reviews. I was not disappointed. Several twists, unusual plot. Narrator makes this story much better. If there were a +plus rating, Helen Duff would deserve one.

Shameful story of Navy brass

Revisado: 04-14-19

Well told chilling story of the aftermath of US Navy’s worst disaster. True horror and bravery of the warrior survivors and their rescuers. and despicable conduct of Navy leadership

Refusal to Learn

Revisado: 12-14-18

The movie does not adequately capture this story and this narrator makes the listen better than reading the book.

Commendable bravery and breathtaking incompetence. I disagree with Bowden’s distinction between Somalia and Vietnam. Both reflect a frustrating futility and the waste of brave men for no ‘defensible reason .Bowden’s quote of Reinhold Neibuhr is absolutely perfect.

Will our military ever learn? Apparently not if Bowden is correct that the military made no effort to study what went wrong.

Shame.

To the Military Men who were sent into battle, thanks for your service

Surprised POTUS is so upset

Revisado: 09-13-18

Definitely worth a listen.
Narrator is superb.
Woodward ties together a story about which we have heard bits and pieces over last couple of years. Few major revelations.
As I listened, I never had the impression this is a Trash Trump book although it is unlikely to be on the MAGA recommended reading list. Some Good and some not so much about the President and most of the major players.

Much more professional and apparently objective than Fire &Fury.

Trump Supporters and Trump Bashers would benefit from reading this book. Not likely to change minds and few startling revelations but will be helpful to better understand this Administration.

Excellent historical narrative

Revisado: 06-15-18

Like so many of his works Follett nails the historical narrative. This time WWI. Reminds one of Winds of War

Narrator superb.

Very much looking forward to other works in the series

A bonafidentribute to heroes

Revisado: 04-15-18

True stories of country doctors in the mountains. A gem that will leave a smile on your face. I am blessed to live in the paradise of the Blue Ridge Mountains and I still see many of the characteristics described in this book in my neighbors.

James Heriot for good people. You will be happy you read this book

Totally Believable

Pretty much a single character book

War is Hell at Home and In Between

Revisado: 03-16-16

A well written, wonderfully narrated tale of war as experienced by French women during WWII. Truly courageous and frightening. Highly recommended. Hard to say whether the sister in the Resistance or the sister at home is stronger, more courageous. Both memorable, dynamic and heroines. These experiences are perhaps more demanding than for soldiers on the front.
