If you want to learn about the ABDA (American/British/Dutch/Australian) Fleet and Battle of Java, this is it!

Revisado: 01-13-24

I read about the battles that happened around Java during WW2 from a U.S. naval book, although it was mostly based around the USS Houston, still I wanted to know more but material on the subject is very scarce,
This book tells you the fate of Dutch East Indies, it gives you the situation of the Allies before the war and during this campaign. You learn about the heroism, mistakes, courage, fate of the many people and ships. Most of the time you don’t read much about ABDA, WW2 history tends to skip that part or gives you a small paragraph on the Dutch East Indies then focus on Coral Sea and onwards.
I enjoyed this book personally as I learned more of the heroic acts of ABDA, even though out gunned, out numbered in sea and air. They did their best and fought together.

More detailed than the movie, I have to say the better version.

Revisado: 12-13-23

If you seen the movie Powwow Highway, you will feel it lacking, The book or audiobook will fill you in on more of the thoughts and background of the characters. Don’t get me wrong the movie is rememberable as an American Indian just because we share a similar experiences from life on the reservation to the division between the traditional and Anglo world. Do prepare for more sexual material and crime though. The book was good, the narrator was great, good to have a better idea what the author was going for.

A British Soldier’s experience in the Crimean war.

Revisado: 09-18-23

If you want a first hand account of the Crimean war from a British soldier. This is it. From the shores of England to Crimea, then to the city of Sevastopol. He gives an account of the many hardships he experienced, the loss of comrades, the battles that were fought. A great listen if you want to know more about Crimea.

If you want to learn about the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, this the book.

Revisado: 03-26-23

Very detailed from most other books about the battle which gloss over it. It may feel a bit overwhelming with the unit names and may get lost without a map of the battlefield, make sure you gain some basic knowledge of the terrain, do stop when you hear certain units names so you can look them up and understand the abbreviations.
The narration is good.
You learn more about the prelude to the battle which is important to the battle, I never heard of it before so it was very nice. You go through day by day of the battle at a nice pace.
Go slow and do return to chapters or sections you didn’t understand, I love this book and the audio was helpful as I went to and from work.

If you want to learn the mid history of communism, this is it.

Revisado: 08-12-22

Leaving off from the previous course, it starts the rule of Stalin and goes through the rise of other communist countries like Yugoslavia, Albania, Romania, China, East Germany, Cambodia, North Korea. Simple and easy learning with the accompanying pdf. The audio is great and keeps you engaged through out the course.
You become amazed at the actions and policies of the communist as they try create that dream of a Karl Marx and Lenin. At times you feel the immense cost of human life as communist shape their nations. I recommend this to anyone trying to learn about communism and it history.

I enjoyed the whole presentation, it was nice to hear something on the go. It does leave you wanting more but this is a foundation if you want to learn more about the Pawnee.

A great story that not many know.

Revisado: 06-01-21

The narrator was good, and the way the history is present is great. I would suggest to any lovers of Colonial or American Indian history. I will be honest I never knew of such a conflict and it is something we should all learn about.

Short but for the price it is worth it.

For a quick overview of the Republic of Genoa it is really good. I would suggest it to anyone who wants to learn some easy while driving. After listening to it you get a desire to learn more and dive deeper into the subject.
