Dale Hanson takes us from a northern Minnesota boyhood to the incredible stresses of US special operations during the Vietnam War, the deadly world of MAC-V-SOG, the top-secret Special Forces project that conducted America’s secret war against the Communist forces on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Shrouded in mystery and equipped with exotic weaponry, SOG operators suffered casualty rates in excess of 100 percent for three successive years.

True American Hero
Revisado: 06-09-24
The story was inspirational and what I loved most was the author’s humility and affection for the indigenous troops he fought with.

Eddie Huang is the 30-year-old proprietor of Baohaus - the hot East Village hangout where foodies, stoners, and students come to stuff their faces with delicious Taiwanese street food late into the night - and one of the food world’s brightest and most controversial young stars. But before he created the perfect home for himself in a small patch of downtown New York, Eddie wandered the American wilderness looking for a place to call his own. Funny, raw, and moving, and told in an irrepressibly alive and original voice, Fresh Off the Boat recasts the immigrant’s story for the 21st century.

Story of America hating immigrant but wants all the opportunities America has to offer
Revisado: 05-30-24
Being an Asian who has traveled the world, America is not unique in bigotry and prejudice, where I have seen more bigotry in Asia and Europe than in the US. This guy is just one big crybaby who bashes the country that has given him and his family so much opportunity. I couldn’t finish the last few chapters. He is the reason why this country is turning into a shit show. Ungrateful and spoiled.

The fight for Jason Delgado's life and soul began when he was just a boy. He ultimately escaped the death and drugs of a crime-riddled Bronx by way of the US Marine Corps. However, after earning his way into the esteemed ranks of the service's famed Scout Snipers, Delgado saw that old struggle reignited when he was dumped into the hell of war in Iraq. There Delgado proved not only a participant but a warrior capable of turning the tide in several of the most harrowing and historically important battles of the evolving war.

Great story, didn’t like the narrator
Revisado: 03-14-18
Compelling and heartfelt story, but the narrator’s NY Accent was irritating, especially after hearing the author interview at the end he didn’t have a thick NY accent.

Throw out everything you think you know about history. Close the approved textbooks, turn off the corporate mass media, and whatever you do, don't believe anything you hear from the government--- The Rise of the Fourth Reich reveals the truth about American power.

Thought I would be getting an alternative view in history, and it started out promising but went downhill quickly and what I felt I received was a political hit piece and leftist propaganda.

Good Story
Revisado: 02-11-08
I enjoyed the book, it seems well researched and tied in well with the actual events of the time. I did have a problem with two things, it seemed to end abruptly and I wanted it to go on a bit longer and the narrator kept pronouncing 10th corps as "EX" corps. Apparently, he's not familiar with Roman numerals.

One Colonel Ardenti, who has unnaturally black, brilliantined hair, a carefully groomed mustache, wears maroon socks, and who once served in the Foreign Legion, starts it all. He tells three Milan book editors that he has discovered a coded message about a Templar Plan, centuries old and involving Stonehenge, a plan to tap a mystic source of power far greater than atomic energy.

First Umberto Eco Book
Revisado: 08-17-04
This is the first audible book I have ever purchased which I had to stop halfway into the story because it was so bad. The story just seemed to drone on and on without any point, and the premise was weakly supported that it was not very believable.

President Bill Clinton's My Life is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public. It is the fullest, most concretely detailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever written, and a testament to the positive impact on America and on the world of his work and his ideals.

Interesting
Revisado: 06-23-04
A great read for his fans, but to most people who are neither fans nor foes, a disappointment. No new revelations or taking responsibility for his actions, just excuses for his actions and criticisms of those who opposed him. As for his impeachment, I don't think he understands that regardless of the topic, you don't commit perjury under oath.

Using previously unpublished documents, Gold, the former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, exposes how the deeply ingrained hatred that has provoked the new terrorism has its roots in Saudi Arabia's dominant religious creed, a radical Islamic offshoot known as Wahhabism.

Clear and Concise
Revisado: 12-03-03
This book traces the connection between the Wahabi sect of Islam and the current rise of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism. It makes a clear destinction between the peaceful mainstream Islam and the more radical and violent Wahabi sect. The history of this sect, their beliefs, and their supporters, mainly the Saudi royal family, are documented in detail. This book clearly provides the best explanation of why 9/11 occurred and highlights the hate filled dogma of this religous sect which compels terrorists to commit murder.

While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

The Da Vinci Code
Revisado: 06-17-03
Good thriller, however, one must remember this is fiction based on some history and legend, not on fact. Many details on the background of the Templars, for example, were inaccurate or just fictional, so remembering that this is fiction makes the book more enjoyable. There were some parts that were pretty easy to figure out early in the book, like the identity of the main villain, so this kind of took away some of the suspense in the story. The narration was not as bad as I was led to believe based on earlier reviews.
