Historia
This is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world - and did. Is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he fight his hardest battle not against his enemies, but against the woman he loves? Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus and launched an ideology and a movement. With the publication of this work in 1957, Rand gained an instant following and became a phenomenon.

Excellent Audio for Rand’s Insightful, Edifying Tome
Revisado: 07-10-19
Rand’s magnum opus is well worth the perseverance, though it barely ever feels like perseverance. It is hard not to be impressed by the effort undertaken to write this book, not just because of its length but also because of the quality of writing throughout, its plethora of compelling syllogisms, and the story’s sustained coherence. You become immersed in the story with the characters and can identify with their logic - and therefore them. This should be required reading/listening for every young adult who doesn’t think for themselves as a way to expose them to what it means to be a valuable individual. An amazing story with a heap of insights into human nature. I do not agree with absolutely everything about Rand’s philosophy (I think it neglects some parts of the human experience), but for what she accounts for she is a force to be reckoned with regardless of your own views in the matter.
Also, Hurt’s reading is clear (I listened to it on 1.75x speed) and somehow manages to cover unannounced changes in speakers. An excellent complement to Rand’s prose.

Ronald Reagan is an American success story. From modest beginnings in a small midwestern town to a distinguished career in films and television, he lived the American dream; as governor of California and as the centurys most popular president, he embodied and revitalized the American spirit.

Historia
There was a time when Israel could do no wrong in America's eyes. That time is long past, and justly so - no nation is absolutely perfect, particularly not one that is engaged in a conflict as long as the Arab-Israeli conflict. But the myth of the perfect Israel has been supplanted by a far more deleterious myth: the myth of the evil Israel. This new myth has so pervaded contemporary culture that the history of Israel - as well documented as it is - has been recast and retold to fit a false narrative of Israel as violent occupier.

Through History from One Side
Revisado: 04-28-19
Historical background provided. Seems a quality take for a generally pro-Israel POV. Would appreciate an anti-israel companion for comparison.
