Excellent book read by an excellent narrator!!

Revisado: 10-17-20

I delayed starting this audio book for quite some time due to its listed length - almost 60 hours. Once I finally started it, I was pulled right in by the content and the narration. William Shirer did a tremendous job of researching and then objectively writing about the Third Reich. The book kept my mind engaged throughout all 57 hours. There were a few times I found myself hoping I was almost to the end of the book, but it wasn't because the book was no longer good; it was because there was something else I wanted to start listening to, but I wouldn't allow myself to do that until I had finished this one. The narration by Grover Gardner is flawless and perfectly fitted to this work. I am not a serious student of history, but I do enjoy reading/listening to good historical works and this is easily one of the best I've ever consumed. Grab a copy for yourself and take the plunge!

Gripping tale and a phenomenal narrator!!

Revisado: 06-26-19

Without a doubt this is one of the best-narrated audiobooks I've ever heard, but calling it narration doesn't do it justice. Performance would be a more apt term. The story is intriguing, exciting, nerve-wracking, and well-crafted. Perfect combination all around! Highly recommended!!

Fascinating glimpse into the start of parachuting!

Revisado: 05-08-19

Short read/listen but definitely interesting and worth your time. Not sure why the author picked the specific characters to focus on as it seems there were many others whose stories could also have been told. Nevertheless, as long as you don't expect a thorough review of the early days of parachuting you won't be disappointed with this book.
