Historia
In the chaos following World War II, the US government faced many difficult decisions, including what to do with the Third Reich's scientific minds. These were the brains behind the Nazis' once-indomitable war machine. So began Operation Paperclip, a decades-long, covert project to bring Hitler's scientists and their families to the United States. Many of these men were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder and slavery.

A little known secret
Revisado: 12-30-17
Very powerful and decisive information reside inside this book. It will really clue the reader into how the government operates when no one is looking.
At times, I found myself appalled at how our government hired these ardent Nazi scientists and then covered up their backstories to protect government interests.
It’s is always great to have the author read the story, however, Annie Jacobsen has a monotone voice that took some time to get accustomed and can be difficult to listen to for extended periods.
Overall, I found this book to be a must read/listen for all Americans.

Historia
A giant of archaeology, Colin Renfrew has immeasurably improved our understanding of human history. In this passionately argued work, he offers a concise summary of prehistory - human existence that predates the development of written records - while challenging the very definition of prehistory itself.

Okay for a conventional understanding...
Revisado: 11-13-17
I use my audible credits to purchase non-fiction books for educational purposes. I have read through a great deal of Graham Hancock’s work and other leading journalist who specialize in ancient origins so I thought it would be wise to get a secular opinion. This book very much tows the mainstream line of our conventional past, so in that regard, it was informative, but what it does not do is speculate on any of the oddities that crop up in the archeological record. However, I do realize that speculation is not this books intention, “Prehistory” does little to advance the understanding of our ancient past but instead reinforces what’ve all been taught. What “Prehistory” does do is expound more on the technical points, like brain formation, to convey a very conservative narrative of our past.
