My first but not my last

Revisado: 06-04-24

I did not know about the SOG. In listening to the book I was greatly moved. What these men went through was amazing to say the least. I was moved to tears when it came to an end. Even now as I'm writing this review tears are still welling up from my eyes. How any of these brave men servived is beyond me. Mr. John Plaster put together such a great story and the narrator, Arthur Morey did a fantastic job. If you really want to know about the secret war of Vietnam then don't hesitate to download the book. You want be disappointed.

Cold War?

Revisado: 05-19-24

i grew up during the Cold War and didn't know what was going on. No one talked about the war. However,
this book told me about that time and explained it from be getting to end. I'm so glad I found this book. It was such a good book. If you want to understand what was going on at that time then this book is for you. 😃

Awful!

Revisado: 05-05-24

I'm a big fan of Erick Larson. When Amazon put this book on their website a month before it was released I jumped on it. I've listened to all of his books and will again. However, this book came up short in so many ways. I'm not going to berate Erick Larson anymore than I have. He's one of my favorite authors. I will be waiting again for his next book.

Astounding!

Revisado: 04-17-24

I have heard of the stock market crash and the great depression and that of the dust bowl. But the mural painting by Mr. J.L. Plaster will be always etched on the wall of my mind. The paste colors are faint first then different shades of grey and then a burst of darkness envelopes your soul. You fight its grasp that holds you tight as a piano wire. You wrestle down it's wall in the hallway then bounce upon the floor as you fall. You try to stand but the dark weight is ever too heavy. You must claw your way out. Claw deep until claws bleed. Darkness opens just a swilt to see what's left. Tennessee, Oklahoma, and the Texas panhandle lay in ruin. You look through sandy eyes to sandy looms that reach ten feet and beyond. You see those who weathered the storm somehow. The dust hindered on legs upward to the heavens blocking out the sun. You see how they clawed the ground putting in seed for corn and African grass that supposedly could stand the summer heat and laugh until the hoppers gnawed the roots until nothing was there to fingerprint it's existence. The temperature reached a hundred and thirteen degrees and some reaching a hundred and seventeen degrees. A farmer put his thermometer on the ground and found the temperature a hundred and forty degrees. If you think me a liar then listen to this book and apologize to me later. The narrator is so great that at times I thought he was sitting in a chair next to me. Take this audio book to a place of solitude with a drink in one hand and a big bowl of popcorn in the other, then lock the door. You're about to tunnel a past of ninety five years. Hold on. It's a turbulence journey.

The narrator can make or break a good book. He's great. You'll be glad of what a supreme job he has done of bringing to life this fine novel.

Acceptable!

Revisado: 05-29-23

This book was wonderful to say the least. I was amazed concerning the commentary and how much history he brought out regarding the heroes of days passed and how it brought Romans to life. I will get his next three volumes to finish out the series. No doubt about it! If you’ve never read anything by Mr, Boice do it now! You won’t regret it. The narrator,John Lescault did an exceptional job. The narrator can make or break a good book. I’ve never heard him before and was thoroughly pleased by his reading style. I loved it.

A story of brokenness: mine

Revisado: 04-16-23

I have read / listened to many books concerning to pass wars but none has moved me more than this book / story of one man who survived atrocities unbelievable to mortal men. Such is my life under different circumstances in my childhood of horror. I don’t speak of that time to many. But I have forgiven the man who inflected me as a young boy still caring those scars today. I wanted so much to tell him that I had forgiven him. But it was not to be. He had died to my great sorrow. I carried those memories for decades. If only I had gone sooner to tell him of my forgiveness. Don’t let time pass before you to can forgive those who wronged you. I know I shall listen to this book again and again. I pray you will too.

Truely a magnificent work heard around the world.

Revisado: 03-10-19

I can't say enough about this book . From beginning to end the book held my attention. I knew something about the Bataan Death March but never got into the details. This audiobook changed that and filled in the gaps. l'm sure I'll listen to it again down the road. The authors must have taken years to compose all the facts and information concerning both sides of the story. I praise them both.
