Not a great history book

Revisado: 04-22-25

The author does not do a good job at leaving their personal bias out of the factual material. I would look elsewhere for correctly composed historical material on this topic.

This book was very insightful and was amazing relatable. It explained a great deal about my own feelings and helped me to better interact with others. I suggest this book to everyone I can as I think it is very valuable information to people of a variety of facets of life.

Very good read

Revisado: 05-05-23

This book offers an interesting insight into Nazi Germany from an outsider perspective. It is very interesting to see as the author says the vale that was pulled over some of these people’s eyes and what people are willing to overlook to hold on to their idea of a place. Would recommend to anyone with an interest in WW2 history.

Why change the narration?!?!?

Revisado: 04-03-23

This series is by far one of the best series I’ve listened to on the topic. The accounts and personal thoughts of the author as things are happening around him are spot on. I listened to all three books almost in one setting as I could relate very closely to the author’s mindset through my own combat experiences. The first two books had a very appropriate narrator, although listening to the author in various settings I wish he would have done it himself as he is a great speaker and recounts his experiences in a compelling and engaging manner. The narrator in this book is very off putting and in my opinion takes away from the awesome material that he is reading. Overall, and despite the crappy narration, this book is a must listen and if you are in the same boat as me, a must read as you can do that in whatever voice you want. I chose that of the author. The author has recently done at least one podcast in the form of the SOG Cast that I would highly recommend as the author does an outstanding job.

This was one of those books that I just couldn’t stop listening to. It is very well laid out and the content is something out of a movie. Cannot recommend enough if you have any interest in ww2.

Surprisingly interesting topic

Revisado: 11-11-21

If you have interest in any portion of aviation or it’s history I think this book is a very good listen. I personally did not know about this topic or event and found myself diving into a wormhole of research based on the topics in it. It is very well put together and well read. Even for those looking for an exciting story this book is a good read.

Thank you for writing this book. It is an awesome account for a lot of people who are unable to share their experiences. I can’t list the reasons to give this book a listen. Highly recommend. NSDQ.

Very good series

Revisado: 07-31-21

I usually read only non-fiction military books. This was my first selection that was more historical fiction. I was defiantly not disappointed. I listened to this entire book over the course of a weekend. I could not stop. Would highly recommend as it is very historically and detail based.

Outstanding.

I have been a fan of Dr. Ballard since grade school. This book is a great insight into his life and projects. Even if you haven’t heard of him the story is captivating and relatable for everyone. The emotional depth and thoughtfulness of each of the chapters has a genuine feeling to it that most books don’t even skim anymore.

A worthwhile read.

Revisado: 11-09-20

The books topic interests me personally because it is always intriguing to learn both sides of history and the justification and reasoning for actions of opposing sides. This book does a very good job of providing personal insight into his experiences and does a very good job of keeping on his experiences vs glorifying combat or relaying the stories of others.
If you have read other books of this kind and topic you will enjoy this one.
