Historia
In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power - the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord Sauron’s evil dominion. Thus begins J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic tale of adventure, which continues in The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

Phenomenal
Revisado: 02-01-24
Absolutely without a doubt the best audio book performance I have ever listened too. Andy Serkis does a phenomenal job bringing the entire story to life, while bringing a passion and charm to each individual character. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would.

listening to this audiobook made me feel as if I was revisiting my own childhood, and attending a family reunion at the same time.

Historia
Previous books have promised to describe the combat experience of the World War II GI, but there has never been a book like Patrick O'Donnell's Beyond Valor. Here is the first combat history of the war in Europe in the words of the men themselves, and perhaps the most honest and brutal account of combat possible.

Nice oral history collection
Revisado: 08-31-16
Broad based collection of oral histories of many different Paratroopers and Rangers from a wide variety of units. Tolerable but dull narration is the only downside.

Great addition to Lone Survivor
Revisado: 04-25-16
It is a well told story from the perspective of the man that save Marcus. Some very minor differences from the original story, but keep in mind it's from the memory and perspective of a different person, an Afghan tribesmen.
As far as the narrator, he did a pretty good job, but as always with Audible military books he. should have done 30 seconds of research on the acronyms instead of just guessing at them.

Historia
Brandon Webb's experiences in the world's most elite sniper corps are the stuff of legend. From his grueling years of training in Naval Special Operations to his combat tours in the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan, The Red Circle provides a rare and riveting look at the inner workings of the U.S. military through the eyes of a covert operations specialist. Yet it is Webb's distinguished second career as a lead instructor for the shadowy "sniper cell" that makes his story so compelling.

Decent story, narration left a lot to be desired.
Revisado: 08-06-12
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, although the story is not a rivetting as some others and the narration by the reader was not very good, I still think it is a good story and worth the listen.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Red Circle: My Life in the Navy SEAL Sniper Corps and How I Trained America's Deadliest Marksmen?
I enjoyed Brandon Webb's peronal additions/reflections at the beggining of the story, the start of each chapter, and the end of the book.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Jon Bailey?
Not unless there was no other way to get to "read" the story. I would probably read the actual book before listening to him again. Someone should have at least gone over with him the pronunciation of the common military jargon used in the book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No.
Any additional comments?
Proper pronunciation of military jargon is a common error among a lot of the narrators/readers in audio books. It reflects a lack of military service or even knowledge of our military. If you choose not to serve, that's fine, but if you are going to make money off of the backs of those who did by narrating their story at least take a little time to educate yourself on their way of life. It comes across as "I don't care enough to learn how to pronounce "BUD/S". There used to be a work ethic in this country that went something like, "if you are going to do something....take the time and put in the effort to do it right."
