O’Reilly and co-author Martin Dugard trace the brutal history of 20th-century organized crime in the United States, and expertly plumb the history of this nation’s most notorious serial robbers, conmen, murderers, and especially, mob family bosses. Covering the period from the 1930s to the 1980s, O’Reilly and Dugard trace the prohibition-busting bank robbers of the Depression Era, such as John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby-Face Nelson.

Great historical accounting

Great story, absolutely fascinating. It’s a veritable ‘who’s who’ in the history of American crime. Best narration yet of all the Audible books I’ve listened to. I highly recommend.

Nerves of Steel is the captivating true story of Tammie Jo Shults’ remarkable life—from growing up the daughter of a humble rancher, to breaking through gender barriers as one of the Navy’s first female F/A-18 Hornet pilots, to safely landing the severely crippled Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 and helping save the lives of 148 people.

Fascinating story of airmanship & perseverance

Interesting story. I learned to fly much later in life but I can relate to the military training & discipline Captain Shults describes. The underlying message is universal.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 49
On Easter morning, 1972, Marine captain John Ripley braved intense enemy fire to blow up a bridge during the North Vietnamese "Easter Offensive." Ripley became a legend within the Marine Corps for his daring act of heroism. His story is described here by fellow Marine John Grider Miller. Miller lays bare Ripley's innermost thoughts during the 3 hours it took to place and set the fuses while some 30,000 enemy troops and 200 tanks prepared to cross just yards away. Such a compelling act of raw courage and personal resolve is rarely encountered.

Great story
Revisado: 10-09-20
Absolutely incredible story of the combination of courage and stamina and endurance...physical and mental. As a retired Marine officer, I thought I was familiar with Captain Ripley’s actions at Dong Ha but this book filled in the blanks. Only down side is the muffled narration. Other than that, great read/listen. Semper Fi.

The vivid, fast-paced account of the siege of Khe Sanh told through the eyes of the men who lived it. For seventy-seven days in 1968, amid fears that America faced its own disastrous Dien Bien Phu, six thousand US Marines held off thirty thousand North Vietnamese Army regulars at the remote mountain stronghold called Khe Sanh. It was the biggest battle of the Vietnam War, with sharp ground engagements, devastating artillery duels, and massive US air strikes.

Great Book
Revisado: 10-06-20
Just finished the audio book & found it very well written & well read. If it’s not on the Commandant’s reading list, it should be. As a retired Marine, I thought I knew the story of Khe Sanh but this book puts a very personal touch to the names, the hometowns, their stories. At times it brought tears to my eyes as it described the warriors & their bravery & sheer will to fight for the Marines & Sailors on their left and their right. It was especially personal for me in that later in life, I was fortunate to know the “Skipper” of B/1/26...Ken Pipes. Although we became close, I never knew the details of his (and others) service at Khe Sanh until I listened to this recording. Sadly Ken passed away about 2 years ago and he was an officer & gentleman to the end. And he never forgot the Marines he served with and loved them unconditionally. Our world is a better place because of men like Ken and the men at Khe Sanh, and it’s a lesser place without them. Semper Fi.
