Fascinating perspective that is compelling
Revisado: 04-18-23
Fast talking, articulate and thoughtful review of the challenges of our legal system in prosecuting powerful and corrupt people. He calls out his peers and their short falls with pointed and compassionate view points but clearly loves the law and being a prosecutor.

Historia
On March 16, 2018, just 26 hours before his scheduled retirement from the organization he had served with distinction for more than two decades, Andrew G. McCabe was fired from his position as deputy director of the FBI.

In The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump, Andrew G. McCabe offers a dramatic and candid account of his career and an impassioned defense of the FBI.

Thank you for you service

No matter which group think you belong to this is a good read. I found it fascinating to hear from someone who is fighting to protect our way of life. He did an amazing job to tie together a history of service with the threat to our democracy. He didn't go into any detail about what was uncovered during the investigation, which I wish he did. But he did give us the sense that things are bad for our democracy. The known facts are the Russians hacked 39 state election systems, they had an advanced election meddling plan using hacking, marketing, fake news to insight anger and ties to many in the campaign. Knowing that publicly available information we get an understanding that human beings fight these battles for us. The tremendous strain on him and his family to have someone in the white house attack him with the biggest microphone in the world is remarkable.
Thank you Andrew for your service to your country and your honest portrayal of life in the hot seat.

Historia
The result of this Roger Daltrey's introspection is a remarkable memoir, instantly captivating, funny and frank, chock-full of well-earned wisdom and one-of-kind anecdotes from a raucous life that spans a tumultuous time of change in Britain and America. Born during the air bombing of London in 1944, Daltrey fought his way (literally) through school and poverty and began to assemble the band that would become The Who while working at a sheet metal factory in 1961.

I love that he did the narration. He was honest and open. His relationship with Keith Moon was touching and sad. Had no idea about the ups and downs and how they got taken advantage of so many people. How little control he had over the band even though he was the front man. Just a great story that makes me appreciate him even more as a person.

Historia
John L. Esposito is one of America's leading authorities on Islam. Now, in this brilliant portrait of Islam today - and tomorrow - he draws on a lifetime of thought and research to sweep away the negative stereotypes and provide an accurate, richly nuanced, and revelatory account of the fastest-growing religion in the world. Here Esposito explores the major questions and issues that face Islam in the 21st century and how that will deeply affect global politics.

Koolaid flavored
Revisado: 12-14-15
Sorry, I found it antisemetic and he uses statistics to justify the issues of the ideology. Glosses over the facts and ignores the issues of Islam. I know most Muslims are not extremist but he ignores the fact that over and over again people, smart and successful turn to the extremist version. The quotes of antisemetic Muslims is not balanced with positive statements. I found the book often offensive. Clearly John drinks the Muslims koolaid without addressing the broader problems. Instead he compares how moronic many people are with statistics showing the hypocrisy of the west without addressing Islamic history. Stupid people in any country don't justify violence by any group. John never addresses the
issues.

Historia
Morten Storm was an unlikely Jihadi. A six-foot-one red-haired Dane, Storm spent his teens in and out of trouble. A book about the Prophet Mohammed prompted his conversion to Islam, and Storm sought purpose in a community of believers. He attended a militant madrasah in Yemen, named his son Osama, and became close friends with Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born terrorist cleric. But after a decade of Jihadi life, he not only repudiated extremism but, in a quest for atonement, became a double agent for the CIA and British and Danish intelligence.

Historia
From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head.

I loved. Chris was honest and I think it is important we understand what happens to our troops when we put them in harms way.
