No accountability. No justice

Revisado: 08-29-24

Overall it was a good book. It did seem to jump around a bit. I definitely learned more about the hatred LBJ harbored against the Kennedy’s. All the files need to be released; no more excuses, no matter who it burns. There will never be accountability, which is even more upsetting.

Incredible!

Revisado: 05-06-24

What a masterpiece! Being read by Brian, it just has something special. I could listen to Brian read anything; he just has a gift. A storybook life, and what a band. Just incredible. Highly, highly recommend!

Fantastic

Revisado: 03-29-24

Cannot believe this was a free download. This was a thorough and thoughtful work of art. I may have caught a couple oddities in the reading, but that could have easily been the internet connection. I will certainly listen to this again in the future.

Quite an interesting book

Revisado: 03-25-23

I read the reviews beforehand and was teetering on purchasing this book. The narration, as mentioned by other reviewers, is a bit overdone. However, I’d rather have the extra flair than a dull, flat, monotone reading. Plenty of facts and sources throughout. The book does lay out some exceptions vs. the “rule” when bringing up some points. If you’re looking for a book that explores the darker side of the North/Union, then you should get what you’re looking for.

Incredible Testimony

Revisado: 12-05-22

What an incredible, detailed account. So many camps! It’s an amazing account with perseverance to somehow make it through and survive barbaric treatment. The only criticism I can offer is that 90% (roughly) of the book covers the journey as a prisoner and upon finally obtaining freedom, very little is covered. But, what an amazing book! You certainly get the details and feelings of daily life of the author.

Incredible account

Revisado: 12-01-22

The details of survival, pain, and the unthinkable are so well written (and narrated), you would think it was fiction. Upon gaining freedom, I was expecting to hear better stories than that of the disappointment I felt hearing that the reports of what was really taking place in the camps fell on deaf ears.

Sad, but incredible

Revisado: 11-28-22

This book brought vivid memories of such a horrific act the entire way through. Of all the accounts I’ve read, or listen to, this one is remarkable. Well written and narrated. It brought emotions out of me just listening to details of the pain, sorrow, and events that took place. Highly recommend!

Disappointing

Revisado: 11-23-22

Having read and listened to Joe Navarro previously, this book is nothing like his other works. The content was lackluster and the performance was dreadful. It was read in a condescending tone. I gained nothing from it.

A stretch?

Revisado: 06-18-22

I’ve never been a fan of Hamilton. Can’t say why, just an overall feeling. When I saw the title and description for this book, I thought it was a stretch, almost daring me to listen. While I cannot connect all the dots like the author has, I can see his point. The book did not flow in a manner that convinced me of the expectations. Having just finished Dumas Malone’s six volumes on Jefferson, I find this book seriously lacking, and incomparable. However, the book did confirm my disdain for Hamilton. Still, I hold Hamilton in high regard for playing a critical role in the founding of this country, perhaps more for his military service. I tip my hat. When he entered into the political realm, I lose all respect.

Outstanding series

Revisado: 06-10-22

Quite an exhaustive project. I listened to all six volumes and was never bored. Of the numerous books I’ve read, or listened to, none of them remotely touch on the complexities and mysteries of Jefferson like this series.
