This national best-seller vividly reconstructs one of the most unbelievable and controversial battles in American military history—General Custer’s Last Stand in 1876. Why would a seasoned leader like Custer lead 200 U.S. Army soldiers into battle against 2,000 Native American warriors? The answer lies in this book, which captures in stunning detail the heroism, foolishness, and brutality that led to this legendary battle.

Much, much, more than the exploits of a single individual. Character driven story of a time when “Indians” and mercenaries (Army) met on the battlefield en mass. Hubris on one side and astonishment on the other that a group of men would attempt to do something so foolish.

How does a nation recover from fascism and turn toward a free society once more? This internationally acclaimed revelatory history of the transformational decade that followed World War II illustrates how Germany raised itself out of the ashes of defeat and reckoned with the corruption of its soul and the horrors of the Holocaust - and features over 40 eye-opening black-and-white photographs and posters from the period.

Re-listened to many sections because they are so detailed and thus, informative. Worth your time

For a Kentucky rifleman who spent his tour trudging through Vietnam's Central Highlands, it was Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'". For a "tunnel rat" who blew smoke into the Viet Cong's underground tunnels, it was Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze". For a black marine distraught over the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., it was Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools".

Running on Empty

I really have no clue how many layers my onion holds. GD book made me weep; made me wanna pray for forgiveness; made me mad as hell; made me realize how many different flavors of shit we ate.
Over the years I’ve come to believe that every American - of the age of reason alive then - are Vietnam veterans.
Like our own Civil War (“war between the states” my ass) our decent into the social chaos of the Vietnam Era has scarred our collective identity that the essence of being an American just doesn’t mean Jack Shit anymore.
A friend’s mother once said to him “What you are doing is shouting so loud I can’t hear what you are saying”.
This is one of the books that shouts so loud that we can’t continue to do what we have been doing.
I was at the party. People died so that I could go home. I was asleep then and have since spent time educating myself so that “I won’t get fooled again”.
Guess what? “They” were lying then and “they” are lying today. Eat with your back to the wall.
Good book, BTW. Candid views are contained within.
