"If Robert Littell didn't invent the American spy novel," says Tom Clancy, "he should have." In this spectacular Cold-War-as-Alice-in-Wonderland epic, Littell, "the American le Carre," takes us down the rabbit hole and into the labyrinthine world of espionage that has been the CIA for the last half-century. "Ostensibly a single novel, The Company can also be listened to as an anthology of cracking good spy stories," says ( Publishers Weekly).

2nd time around and still great
Revisado: 05-30-15
This the second time with this book and this time was better. The scope of the story and the way the author fits all the character together is both clever and very entertaining.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 83
When Napoleon eventually died in exile, the Lords of the Admiralty ordered that the original dispatches from seven major fleet battles - The Glorious First of June (1794), St Vincent (1797), Camperdown (1797), The Nile (1798), Copenhagen (1801), Trafalgar (1805), and San Domingo (1806) - should be gathered together and presented to the nation. These letters, written by Britain's admirals, captains, surgeons, and boatswains and sent back home in the midst of conflict, were bound in an immense volume, to be admired as a jewel of British history.

Narration flawed
Revisado: 05-11-15
A great book only spoiled by a stilted narration. Poor chapter break spoken and while the diction was clear and well spoken, the pass was not good.

I wish I could have had this book a long time ago
Revisado: 01-28-14
Would you listen to Catastrophe 1914 again? Why?
Yes, again and again, so many good facts and stories to take in at one sitting
Who was your favorite character and why?
None, its not that type of book
What does Simon Vance bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Very much so, there is so much to get emotional about, you need his calm matter of fact approach
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Too many to mention
Any additional comments?
Such an important time in our generations history, no one should get a day older without understanding what happened in 1914
