Must read

Revisado: 07-15-24

This book is extremely interesting, very high-level, but enough information to make you feel like you have somewhat of a introduction level knowledge. Very eye-opening.

Worth the time, a lot of investment though

Revisado: 04-18-24

I read and listen to a lot of nonfiction books, particularly United States and United States history history. When I got this book, I was expecting more along the lines of typical nonfiction books, going through policies and events, which this book definitely does. However, there is a lot of storytelling in here. Which, at first was kind of a turn off for me and I was about ready to stop listening. Not that the stories were not appealing, but I wanted to talk more about the events and policies. Over the course of the book, I grew to appreciate the stories that were told. All of them had their own significance and I got a real prospective of what it must’ve been like for these people who were just trying to get better lives. To me, as someone who knows little to no immigration history, or anything like that, the idea that most of these people Were not looking to the US as thier home, they were looking to go back to their home countries. That fact, kind of made me look at it a different angle. As my title says, this book is a lot of investment as a listener in my opinion, but worth it

Worth a listen

Revisado: 11-29-21

This was a very fascinating book. As someone who has read a lot about early American history, I did not have a lot of knowledge around Indian culture before the 1700s.

Although it was very interesting, and I feel a lot more informed, I did feel like it went into a lot of detail that I was not really interested in any such as the Amazon.

I checked out this book more to hear about North America Indians I was surprised at the amount of information related to South America, even though it was helpful and somewhat related. I do wish it talked about North America more than it did.

A great 360 story of the war

Revisado: 03-16-21

I came into this book having listened or read 2 books on the war. I was looking for a in-depth book and this delivered. I am sure that it left some parts out and everyone might not agree with some of the highlights of the book. I think it can agree that it gave a 360° view of the war that is exactly what I wanted. It is definitely worth a listen and sticking with it.

Highly recommended

Revisado: 12-12-19

I have picked this book because of the current events going on in Washington with impeachment of Trump. This book was very well written and explained the complexities that was going on at the time of Johnson’s impeachment. This has demonstrated that Johnson was experiencing a very rare circumstance compared to other presidents who have faced impeachment. I have learned that due to the circumstances there are miss information about the impeachment process and the historical ramifications of it. On the other side, I have learned that the dealings were very corrupt in nature, which has me wondering what is really going onIn Washington today as we face another impeachment process. Very detailed and long, but highly recommend

A great brief history of Taft

Revisado: 09-11-19

I thought it was a great brief summary of Taft. It was definitely brief and was not as detailed as some of the other biographies I have read, but it covered a wide range of issues. My opinion is, they spent too much time talking about the quarrel between him and Roosevelt.

The best book I’ve ever read about D day

Revisado: 08-11-19

Even though this book is extremely detailed And at times I thought about not finishing it due to its length, this book was a great read and I am glad that I have finished it.

If you want to read one book and have a mild understanding of what happened on June 6, 1944, this is the book that you should read.

I had goosebumps just as an American reading this book.

A must for any civil war buff

Revisado: 11-09-17

The amount of detail in this is ridiculously tantalizing.

Even better was the scope that was new to fully understand the lead up/true causes of the war.

Must read!

Revisado: 09-21-16

Every person over age 18 should read this at lest once.

If you really read/listen and apply it to your own life/situation/career/realtonship I think it's a huge benefit to you.

I am buying a hard copy to keep.
