For nearly 100 years Canada's role in ending WWI sooner than anyone thought possible has gone largely unrecognized. The Canadian Corp led by citizen soldier, Arthur Currie, became the premiere fighting force on the Western Front. The fact that Canada was not yet a formalized nation but a Dominion at the close of the war may be the reason for the absence of recognition yet the record of the Canadian WWI military accomplishments is irrefutable.

Riveting and profound
Revisado: 03-12-15
All Americans should know this story, which is compellingly told and wonderfully brief! And gives a good rendering of how the military slowly overcame the paralysis and futility of trench warfare a century ago. But, in its telling and content, it is a bit understated, which may be very Canadian , but in the case of the story's subject, may make the listener wish for more.

The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America’s first ambassador to Hitler’s Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history. A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the “New Germany,” she has one affair after another....

Better the Real Devil
Revisado: 09-02-11
This was a much better book than Devil in the White City, because it provided a picture of life, real-time, in early Nazi Germany. Very hard to imagine it, without being overwhelmed by hindsight. Like White City, the book cannot carry its great set-up to the end, but the early parts, as the family discover what is actually happening in front of them, is very persuasive. And much more relevant than a fascinating account of the Chicago world's fair and an ancient 19th century crime.

Best-selling author Patrick O'Brian became a legend with his beloved Aubrey-Maturin seafaring tales. O'Brian received further attention with the critically acclaimed film adaptation, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, which was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, and won two.

From an old friend thought gone forever
Revisado: 01-21-06
Oh! One last taste of the genius of O'Brian. I had thought his last books showed him slowing down, losing interest, aging perhaps. But here, in his just-begun No 21, he's at full powers, backed by the great Patrick Tull. You know when you put it down that his O'Brian's fertile mind had seamlessly contrived to get Jack and Stephen to meet the monster of the age...Napoleon. Shows a major novelist going out on top.

A Perfect Marriage
Revisado: 06-19-05
As another reviewer said, these stories are gems, pearls; rich, sweet delights, to be savored, and listened to over and over. Writing short stories well requires different skills than novels, and Maugham has them all. It is his skill as a writer of short stories that makes the context, however politically incorrect it might seem today, unimportant to the enjoyment of the stories,
Combined with the melifluous and perfectly appropriate world-weary voice of the narrator, this production is as good as audio literature gets. I can't wait to read the later volumes.
