Fall, 1944. Paris has been liberated, saved from destruction, but this diversion on the road to Berlin has given the Germans time to regroup. The American and British armies press on from the west, facing the enemy time and again in the Hurtgen Forest, during the Market-Garden invasion, and at the Battle of the Bulge, all while American general George Patton and British field marshal Bernard Montgomery vie for supremacy as the Allies’ top battlefield commander.

Well done almost to the end

Extraordinary journalism and performance. Unfortunately he undermines his story with his insistence Russian interference elected Trump. It is easy to take issue with all things Trump. An imperfect vessel to say the least. This authors childish assertion of the long and thoroughly debunked trump Putin connection is sad. And it steals the authors credibility.

Naomi Roth is the first female president of Webster College, a once-conservative school now known for producing fired-up progressive graduates. So Naomi isn't surprised or unduly alarmed when Webster students begin the fall semester with an outdoor encampment around "The Stump"—a traditional campus gathering place for generations of student activists—to protest a popular professor's denial of tenure.

Excellent look into the academic world
Revisado: 07-13-21
I bought this book by mistake. I was looking for the classic short story, the devil and Daniel Webster. I did listen to it, and enjoyed it.
I still wonder whether this book was intended as an indictment against the thoughts and attitudes of a liberal academic. Or if these really enjoy thinking about themselves this way.
The supposed protagonist more than a little shallow and self serving. Her family and friends are despicable, angry and lack thankfulness for their good fortune.
The few clear headed characters are represented as contemptible. What the book really lacks is a hero. All the characters seem to be at least to some degree villainous.
I guess I enjoyed listening because the book reinforced my biases about the woke culture and decadent nature of institutions.
