Americans have always loved guns. This special bond was forged during the American Revolution and sanctified by the Second Amendment. It is because of this exceptional relationship that American civilians are more heavily armed than the citizens of any other nation. Or so we're told. In The Gunning of America, historian Pamela Haag overturns this conventional wisdom. American gun culture, she argues, developed not because the gun was exceptional but precisely because it was not.

Interesting but all over the place
Revisado: 11-01-17
The topic is certainly relevant and interesting. However the book is all over the place. I think the book would have been better served by starting with the epilogue, and sticking to the sales and marketing tactics used by the gun industry with more emphasis on the nra and its tactics. The Sarah Winchester story was dragged out well past being interesting.

General Bob Underwood - a special presidential envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL - is en route to the Syrian city of al-Bukamal when a rocket-propelled grenade strikes the side of his Humvee, and the heavily armored convoy comes under attack. The general's bodyguard is brutally murdered, and Underwood himself is kidnapped. Hours later the president and top officials watch in horror from the Oval Office as the general is viciously beheaded by an ISIL leader - broadcast on live television through a direct feed from Al Jazeera.

Narrator ruins ok writing
Revisado: 08-10-16
Would you try another book from George Galdorisi and/or Peter Berkrot?
Meh, it is overly repetitive and masturbatorial... which is saying a lot for spy fiction of this genre.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Better Narrator. More interesting plot conflicts
Would you be willing to try another one of Peter Berkrot’s performances?
Not until he learns to understand the tenor of characters' conversations
Was Tom Clancy's Op-Center: Scorched Earth worth the listening time?
barely

Physicists have been exploring, debating, and questioning the general theory of relativity ever since Albert Einstein first presented itin 1915. Their work has uncovered a number of the universe's more surprising secrets, and many believe further wonders remain hidden within the theory's tangle of equations, waiting to be exposed. In this sweeping narrative of science and culture, astrophysicist Pedro Ferreira brings general relativity to life through the story of the brilliant physicists, mathematicians, and astronomers who have taken up its challenge.
