RAW determination

Revisado: 11-29-24

What an incredible journey this woman has shared with us. Her will to live and to be free under such dire circumstances is not only awe inspiring but truly mind numbing how humans can be so cruel to one another.

Intriguing stories

Revisado: 10-08-24

The reader does a great job and the story is intriguing. It also shows how fickle “justice” can be.

Good Read

Revisado: 09-12-24

I really liked this book because it shed light on someone I’ve often heard about but nothing nothing about him besides his military prowess. An interesting person and his military exploits are fascinating. It is also interesting how events or discoveries thousands of years ago are ever present in one form or another today, meaning there impact.

The reader does an excellent job, enjoyable to listen too.

Candid and unfiltered

Revisado: 04-09-24

I really enjoyed this book, it is seemingly open and unfiltered. The author doesn’t hide his opinion, and why shouldn’t he, it’s his personal diary. I am eager to listen to our enemies thoughts and observations. It amazes me how different we are and at the same time…so similar. I do not sympathize with Nazi dogma, but the soldier is entirely relatable.

Good read.

Enemy perspective

Revisado: 02-19-24

It always fascinates me to hear the enemy combatants point of view. Also, as an American, I find it intriguing how time separates some of us from our ancestors, some of us are German, Italian, Polish, Russian, etc. Were our enemies distant relatives? Something to ponder…

A sane and logic point of view

Revisado: 11-26-23

This book gave me hope, hope that we can heal and fix our broken educational system. A way forward for future parents with easy well thought out suggestions for raising non-fragile children.

This should be required in school

Revisado: 08-29-23

I’ve been to China and Taiwan and to both Mao’s and Chang’s tombs. All without knowing about either of their struggles in the Chinese civil war or with the Japanese.

This book should be required reading so our younger generation can know who Mao is and what we as a nation face(adversary).

Enlightening

Revisado: 01-31-23

Im not sure what to say about this book or more accurately, the material it covers. The performance is spot on, the story is intriguing. That leaves the writing both well done and left me wanting to listen more.

I guess I’m one of those people that didn’t know a whole lot about the Templars but had a positive image in my mind. This book has truly enlightened me and subsequently changed my perception of what they were.

Hind sight is 20/20 as they say, but it’s astonishing to me that they did what they did and when they did it. For example fighting a Muslim army when they were clearly at a disadvantage and grossly outnumbered, to attack would mean death, yet that is what they did. It served no purpose other than it met their code.

Foolishness, bravery, wealthy, Pius and greedy all come to mind when talking about Templars. I’m glad I chose this read, definitely a good book to read.

Shocking...

Revisado: 11-03-22

It's shocking at how bad Allied Intel was at times and on the flip side of that coin, how good it was. At it's worst, it was heartbreaking and maddening. I've read plenty on Stalin and how the Russians won their part of the war and it is nothing short of amazing considering how things ran inside Russia...suspicion around every corner and behind every shadow, purging their own officer core, etc, how we ever trusted anything they ever said(especially POW arrangements) is baffling. I'll chalk it up to hindsight being 20/20. Excellent story, worth the read.

Inspiring

Revisado: 10-01-22

I am inspired by this reading, I’ve read several other books on the resistance and Dietrich‘s name was mentioned in those as well, albeit short references. Still, I had to read about this man that was being praised. I am so glad I did! I grew up in the church but eventually faded away because so many put the institution before Christ. Dietrich Bohoeffer always put Christ first, even in the face of death. A true inspiration.
