Riveting story well performed

Revisado: 09-17-24

Normally, I don’t like these “radio show” plays, but this was such an interesting story and so well written and performed I was completely drawn in. Until now I didn’t know I was a fan of true crime stories. I highly recommend this recording.

Humbling reminder of great deeds

Revisado: 09-09-24

I was aware of the sufferings of Japanese-Americans in the camps and the heroism of Japanese-American troops, but this book brought it to life and provided a deep understanding of the personal sacrifices, contributions and experiences of the Japanese-American community. Great work (again) by the author and a must-read for all Americans.

One of the best of the many books I’ve read about WWII

Revisado: 10-18-23

As a trained historian I can appreciate the extensive and meticulous research that gave this book it’s very personal and human perspective of a major military event. Excellent writing brought the research to life.

Outstanding review of overlooked valor

Revisado: 05-16-23

I have a degree in history and have studied the European Theater extensively. I found a wealth of new (to me) information in this well researched and written book.

Fun listen for F1 fans

Revisado: 11-29-22

As a lifelong and enthusiastic fan of Formula 1, I found this quite entertaining. There were some wonderful stories of dramas and antics but also times when the story strayed into periods of blab. The relationship between the two authors sounded too scripted and unnatural. Despite those drawbacks, I enjoyed and would recommend this audiobook. (I can’t imagine reading this as a book.)

Amazing story but needs pdf maps to be included

Revisado: 11-14-22

The authors used their exhaustive research to weave an inspiring narrative of many heroes… but it’s hard to follow all the characters, movements and locations without any visual reference; The inclusion of a downloadable pdf with those photos and maps, and maybe a timeline would enhance the readers understanding and appreciation of what these people sacrificed and endured.

Interesting and enjoyable

Revisado: 08-13-22

Early on, the level of detail the author provides and all the Japanese names of personnel, planes and ships was a bit tiresome but the author’s storytelling ability and dry humor soon outweighed any of those distractions. The books I’d read previously about Guadalcanal and the action in that area had been written from the perspective of the ground forces and the sea and air struggle was related only as it impacted the ground operations. This book provided (me, at least) a much more holistic view of this critical campaign.
I’m moving directly to the authors next book that details the next phase of the battle for Guadalcanal.
