Starts great, turns ugly!

Revisado: 06-08-24

As someone whose parents were born in Italy and who raved about the Little Flower, I looked forward this book and reading LaGuardia's history. Unfortunately, this book turned out to be a big disappointment. Although off to a great start, midway through the author decides to start using comparisons to current day politicians, eviscerating one's he dislikes while applauding those he favors. It was uncalled for, offensive, and distraction from the history of a great man. I immediately stopped listening and requested a refund.

Made me even more proud of my heritage

Revisado: 10-01-22

Just when I thought I had read every spy/suspense book about WWII, I came upon this gem. The 3 women went above and beyond to safeguard important documents, essential to the post war trial at Nuremberg. Lisa Flanagan does justice to Mazzeo's masterpiece. Once started, couldn't stop listening.....may even listen again! Congratulations for writing and telling a compulsive story of survival, love, and commitment to justice.

Every American Should Read This Book

Revisado: 04-26-22

Barr is direct and to the point, and offers ample support for the experiences he had as Attorney General. He also provides salient facts regarding many of the challenges facing America and summarizes beautifully where the country is and what’s needed going toward. He remains one of the best AGs in modern American history.

Best Military Story Ever

Revisado: 04-11-20

As a Vietnam vet I have first hand knowledge of combat conditions, however the story of John Chapman --- how he got there, what he saw, what he did, must rank among the is the most remarkable military engagement's in military history. The courage and love of brotherhood is amazing and all the while brilliantly told. Thank you John Chapman, and God Bless you.

Opportunity Missed

Revisado: 06-23-19

As someone who's listened to Nicks since the outset and loved her music but didn't know the artist, this book would have been the perfect adaptation to 'audible books' by playing each song when the writer told a story about what was going on in her life at the time. Otherwise it was just OK.

A Compelling Indictment of America's Leadership

Revisado: 05-07-19

Turns out the Vietnam Vets we're not only disdained by their countrymen, they we set up to fail by their government. A must read for every American, with the hopes that this experience never happens again. The level of detail, the insight into the personalities of those involved, and the continuity and clarity of events, as complex as they were, was masterfully reported by McMaster.
As I finished the book, I wept for only the second time in my life -- the first was when I first saw "the Wall" in Washington, and this time, after reading "Dereliction of Duty", thinking about all those young men who perished and those who struggle today --- for what. The Country deserved better, but those who served and died, and those still struggling today --- they paid the ultimate price.
