Revisado: 01-10-25

I liked the story of General Chamberlain, but the author not so much. I just couldn't get through the book.

Great Story, big mistake by author

Revisado: 05-04-24

Loved the story, but there is one glaring mistake by the author. She wrote William de Wolfe killed de Treau. In The Wolfe, Jordan killed him by stabbing hin in the eye with a dagger.

An Unabridged Book and NO Music

Revisado: 09-20-23

I truly enjoyed The Eagle of the Nineth, with one large exception.

The story is good. The pace is set for action. The narrator was excellent. An unabridged book would have made a hugh difference.

Now for the downside. The interludes of classic music, which had absolutely no reason to be part of this book. It was plain annoying.

A Birds Eye View of the Battle

Revisado: 07-30-23

This after action report proves why Chamberlain was a leader of men, a hero, and yes, a professor of rhetoric.

He deeply cared for his men, and he was passionate about the preservation of the Union. His soldiers trusted him, thereby enabling him to use a tactic that was not well known.

The most chilling part of this dissertation was the letter written by a member of the 15th Alabama several years after the war. This soldier had Chamerlain in his sights twice and did not take the shot.

Well worth listening to this again and again.

Not his best work.

Revisado: 05-19-23

The story is choppy. The back and forth between past and future was frustrating.

The research was lacking i.e. chapter 51 referring to antibiotics. This was 1914. Antibiotics (Penicillin) were not invented until 1928.

OUTSTANDING

Revisado: 12-19-22

Rickenbacker, Lindenhurst, Doolittle. Names fading from social memory or remembered as myth
Winston Grooms brings their lives, and achievements back to life with clarity.
This is one book not to be missed.

This Narrator was I tolerable

Revisado: 12-14-22

I could not finish this book. The book was excellent. But i could not get past the narrator. His droning, monotone voice made it impossible to finish this book
if you need a sleep aid, this is it.

This book kept me mezerized. As always, Mark Felton's research was impeccable. His story telling compelling.

A lille disappointing

Revisado: 08-06-22

This book started out being the backstory for Blackie. About halfway through the book, it fell apart. This mess then became a storyline about three other characters who were really peripheral to Blackies story. Blackie should have been the prominent character, telling his story from beginning to the end of his life.
Instead, the book ended abruptly and left me fold
This book was not Barbera Taylor Bradford's finest book
