Good information, but dry.

Revisado: 01-28-24

The beginning of the book was very interesting, if not thrilling. Then it quickly settled into drudgery with a few interesting tidbits here and there. I had to force myself to finish it.

The reader was mostly okay except with some annoying habits. For instance, he would pronounce Martin Borman as "Bore-Man".

I've read so much Nazi-era history, that I thought I would enjoy expanding my knowledge on Heydrich. Alas, this Audible book missed the mark. Perhaps reading the actual book would have been better.

Uber Pilot

Revisado: 04-21-23

He flew better than his instructors. He shot down an enemy plane on his very first encounter with them. He married a movie star. Really?! Gee, I bet he could also leap over tall buildings in a single bound! Really though, the book was very good and worth the time. Gotta love the fighter jocks in their full glory.

While some of his feats seamed absolutely incredible, if not unbelievable, this is the guy who found his true niche in life. Even hawks and eagles were jealous of his prowess in the air.

Nevertheless, if you enjoy fighter pilot biographies like I do, read this book. You will not be disappointed.

Good story telling

Revisado: 12-22-21

Some of what happened seemed less plausible, but it was an overall fantastic story. I enjoyed the entire book from start to finish.

The reader I thought was excellent. No complaints.

Some reviewers thought the story was dry or boring- not so! If you have zero knowledge or interest in these subjects, then sure skip this. Ignorance is bliss.

Pitch Perfect

Revisado: 09-01-21

Hands down, one of the finest books on WW II and DDay. The reader was off the charts pitch perfect in tone, intonation, emotion, timing. It felt like the author was whispering in my ear for the entire book.

I don't know how the story could have been better or better told.

If you want to transport yourself back in time to realize what life was like back then, this is your book.

Great Book but it's getting dated

Revisado: 08-19-21

The book is short overall at 8-1/2 hours. Short and sweet. The chapters are a bit long though. The subject matter is clear by its title alone and the book details how close we come to losing our democracy. I have read several books of this era, but I learn something every time and from this book it is not different.

To be honest though, I much enjoyed the analysis of President Trump than that of those South American Leaders. And yes, that is because of my lack of So American history education. Nevertheless, it's all good.

The narrator, while very good, had a tendency to put me to sleep. Something about the soothing raspy voice I suppose.

Make no mistake though, this book should be read by every High School student. It rreally is that good.

A Good Text book

Revisado: 07-01-21

Good information, excellent reader, but the book reads like a textbook. It is just too dry in many chapters.

Whoa. A must read for mafia nonfiction.

Revisado: 01-04-19

To be fair, you really need to read/listen to the entire book. There are some high points and low points in the book. But overall it's a sort of a tour de force - phenomenal! Read it. It's long but you will not be disappointed.

A lot of names, so much so, that I got lost - but you will get the jist.

The reader was incredible!! He was the best.

Sehr gut.

Revisado: 07-19-17

Slightly naive, but honest. The end of the war chapters were the best. It is worth a read.

A long but good story.

Revisado: 06-28-17

An incredible story with intimate detail. While seemingly very long it was quite the journey and we worth the adventure.

Great Story

Revisado: 06-07-17

A very good insight into German side of things. I thought that the author was somewhat naive though. I understand patriotism, but the Germans did some pretty horrific things throughout the war.

Yet overall the history presented was quite good. It is a must read for WWII fans, especially those interested in submarine warfare.
