amazing book

Revisado: 12-18-23

I don't think I have ever enjoyed a war autobiography book more than this,l one, and I read plenty of them. For a long time I avoided Vietnam books, thinking the subject matter too depressing, but I am glad I read this book.

the story was ok, maybe a bit less dramatic than most Rick Brant adventures, but the reader was terrible. his voices were all bland and emotionless, but the one he used for Rick was the worst & sounded like an 8 year old kid with a lisp, instead of a young man. Seek out the books narrated by J.J. Campanella instead.

very captivating

Part autobiography and part biography of all the people he met, this is a very interesting book. It captures the 1910s-1920s like no other story I've ever read.
And the reader reads it like only he can. Highly recommended.

awesome book

I was born under communism and lived there for many years, and while it was not as bad as in Rumania, there were many similarities. For years I have searched for a book that described that black chapter in human history, written especially for young readers, and this book is it

not accurate

Revisado: 04-07-23

This is one of only a handful of audiobooks that I could not finish. There are so many historical omissions that you wonder whether the author knew his medieval history, both European and Islamic. if he had, he might not have pondered so much about why urban 2nd called for the crusades, because there were already historical precedents of Popes getting involved in politics, and calling for Christians to defend Europe from various invaders, including Saracens, Byzantines, and Normans. Meanwhile, the author completely ignores the traditionally held view that it was the Byzantine defeat at Manzikert and subsequent loss of Asia Minor that did in fact result in the Byzantine emperor appealing to the Pope for assistance against the Turks. The author seems to know very little about the Byzantine empire, even thought their plight and later politics were so important during the time of the crusades. Finally, he seems to present some points of view which come from Muslim apologists. Not recommended. If you want a good history of the Crusades, look elsewhere, and in earlier works.

Awesome book. Expertly written and read.

Not that much drama here. I am used to reading military history books with lots of action. Nevertheless, this book kept me interested throughout. Lots of stuff I never knew before.

best history of Europe ever

Revisado: 10-02-19

This history is not complete. It does not discuss many traditional topics. However, It does include much information not found anywhere else. Most importantly, it reads like a story and not like a chronology.
