Phenomenal story of a little known unit. A true American hero, no regrets in the purchase of this audiobook.
Slab should be ashamed to wear his MOH.

The power of one man who truly believes in the mission. A great story, thanks for sharing it Ron.

A must read, or listen...

Revisado: 10-16-15

One of the better military history books I've listened to, ever. The performance was well done, other than a couple of mispronounced military jargon words, storyline was fast paced and the book really kept my attention. Normally I only listen while commuting to work, but I found myself plugging in my earphones around the house to listen. Get the book, you won't be disappointed.

Should have listened to the last guy....

Revisado: 09-02-15

The last review I read was right...the author skips around, is hard to follow and confusing at times. I thought I was going to read about the Plei Trap Valley, but I think this was more about his romance with Ming, the woman he cheated on his wife with. Thanks for your service sir, but I as hoping to hear about POW rescue missions and the like. Not about picnics with Ming and the "passionate love you made."

Do yourself a favor and skip the book.

Awesome book!

Not only is this a great story, but the performance was excellent and the book was full of great "prepper" ideas. If you're serious about prepping (which I'm not, but should be more of I guess), read/listen to this book with a pen and paper handy. The author throws out great ideas, products, other authors and must reads for anybody interested in the "post-financial collapse of America." I had a great time listening to this book, and highly recommend it!

Incredible story, OK book.

Revisado: 07-30-15

My review is solely on the book, and not the events covered in the book. Benavidez is a hero, there's no doubt about that. My issue with this book is it seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time talking about Vietnam War issues in general as opposed to Benavidez' story. The actual events that led to his CMH could have been told in a chapter or two. Yes, some of his life pre-military was written about also. I bought this book for his story, and not necessarily to learn about all the politics that went into the war.

Interesting story

Interesting story that kept my attention. People don't realize what's going on in the world around them...this book sheds light on a world that is rarely seen.

Good read, no major complaints

Revisado: 07-30-15

This book is definitely a micro view of the events that occurred on D-Day, and in particular to the men of the Big Red 1. While there was some overview of buildup and grand scheme events, it was mostly about the events that happened to individuals on the ground. If you're looking for a general historical perspective, there are other books out there for that. This isn't that book. If you're looking for a deeply personal account of the landing, this is it!

An incredible story

Revisado: 06-29-15

What an incredible story about a man who turned his life around. This candid look inside Adam Brown's life shows all that choices we make are long lasting, and the consequences are felt for years. Even though he broke the cycle of drug abuse, the effects were long lasting and haunted him for the rest of his life.
Despite his difficult past, he made the effort to better himself and recognized his need to do something for the greater good. Ultimately giving his life for his team and country, Adam is a man to be looked up to and admired. God bless his family, his teammates, and the United States for his example and sacrifice.

Glad I purchased....

This lecture series was a great refresher to my college economic class days...although a bit dated, it's interesting to see how things have developed since the recording of the lectures. The lecturer has been spot on in some of his assessments as to how he believed the economy will behave, versus how it has actually turned out.
