Of all the threats that faced his country in World War II, Winston Churchill said, just one really scared him—what he called the "measureless peril" of the German U-boat campaign.

My first Richard Snow Audible book was Henry Ford, “I invented the modern age.” It is superb. This was excellent as well and it is important story that was inspired by his father’s war service. The book is an excellent tribute to those who fought in a part of the war effort-the war of the Atlantic-that was so critical, yet much less known. Well done Mr. Snow!

The Arsenal of Democracy tells the incredible story of how Detroit answered the call, centering on Henry Ford and his tortured son Edsel, who, when asked if they could deliver 50,000 airplanes, made an outrageous claim: Ford Motor Company would erect a plant that could yield a “bomber an hour”. Critics scoffed: Ford didn’t make planes; they made simple, affordable cars. But bucking his father’s resistance, Edsel charged ahead.

This is one of the most enjoyable books that I have heard. I love the combination of history, and the in-depth look at personalities and business practices of Ford motor company during World War II. The author has a powerful writing style I was almost moved to tears with some of the descriptions of the air battles of World War II. If you like this kind of thing you won't be disappointed!

Two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize David McCullough tells the dramatic story behind the story about the courageous brothers who taught the world how to fly: Wilbur and Orville Wright.
On December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Wilbur and Orville Wright's Wright Flyer became the first powered, heavier-than-air machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard. The Age of Flight had begun. How did they do it? And why?

David McCullough is a National Treasure

I think I have either read or listened to all of David McCullough's books. He is so thorough in his research and so good in his writing that every book is a masterpiece. I just finished listening to the Wright Brothers book for a second time and enjoyed it just as much the first time.
