Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 93
On February 28, 2013, after pleading guilty to violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, John Kiriakou began serving a 30 month prison sentence. His crime: blowing the whistle on the CIA's use of torture on al Qaeda prisoners. Doing Time Like a Spy is Kiriakou's memoir of his 23 months in prison. Using 20 life skills he learned in CIA operational training, he was able to keep himself safe and at the top of the prison social heap. It is at once a searing journal of daily prison life and an alternately funny and heartbreaking commentary on the federal prison system.

This is a great book that provides outstanding insights into the injustice that John Kiriakou and his family had to endure, when he became a ‘whistleblower’ in revealing the CIA’s torture program. The book also provides great insights into other challenges we face, the (In) Justice system, prison reform and moral decay. Well written and superbly narrated! Enthusiastically recommended!

In the desolate middle of the largest ocean on earth, two great navies approached, one bent on conclusive battle, the other lying in ambush. Six months after Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto again crossed the Pacific with the largest and most powerful naval armada the world had ever seen, this time to finish the job. Nimitz waited for him with what he had, placed exactly where he needed it. Both admirals depended on their fliers, some veterans of battle, others raw and unproven. Striking first meant decisive victory.

This is a 'must listen' for anyone interested in carrier and naval aviation, and/or WWII and the war in the Pacific. Kevin Miller has done a masterful job of weaving the complex history of the Battle of Midway into this fictional piece. If you aren't yet a student of the Battle of Midway, this book will provide you with the background on how important this battle was to our efforts against the Japanese, and the incredible heroism of the aviators and sailors who took the fight to the Japanese Navy. Moreover, the narration is superbly executed by Francis Kearney. Enthusiastically recommended!

As the World Trade Center buildings collapsed, the Pentagon burned, and a small group of passengers fought desperately to stop a third plane from completing its deadly flight plan, America went on war footing. Killing the Killers narrates America's intense global war against extremists who planned and executed not only the 9/11 attacks but hundreds of others in America and around the world, and who eventually destroyed entire nations in their relentless quest for power.

O'Reilly and Dugard did a great job with this book. There is an appropriate amount of detail, and it is well balanced. Their perspective on the efficiency of the Obama, Trump and Biden Administration's execution of the war against terror was very interesting. Throughout the book the reader is frequently reminded of the bravery and operational brilliance of the special operators who execute the war on terror.
