Fantastic ... Quite a Read

Revisado: 09-14-21

This was an incredible story and the number of once classified details that are included was amazing. This is a window into a whole other world and I enjoyed having a peak. Fascinating and an entertaining read. Well narrated!

Authoritative account

Revisado: 09-14-21

This was an impressive work. I could see some perhaps put off by the depth of the details. One has to have a real interest and fascination with the intelligence community to fully appreciate this book.. But the totality of Hayden's experiences and insights and the fact that he personally narrates this work really adds to its value. I had the benefit of hearing Hayden speak in person, so I knew a little bit of what I was in for when purchasing this audio book. I wasn't disappointed. For me, it was a great read that was enhanced by the author's personal reading.

A remarkable story of public service

Revisado: 09-14-21

I didn't know what to expect when first starting this book, but I was intrigued by the many positions of great influenced held by Rumsfield over the course of his public service (and also corporate) career. I wasn't disappointed. Rumsfeld had a front row seat to some very historical figures and events and this book is a fine recounting of many of them. As you'll see, Rumsfield narrates his own book and for a biography, that really adds a nice touch. You do feel as though you are sitting down and chatting (albeit a one way chat) with the subject of the book. For the most part, it was a very interesting read and I enjoyed Rumsfield's candid observations. I thought he was very self-reflective and in places admitted where he might have done things differently to do them over again, A worthwhile read which I very much enjoyed. Whether you like Rumsfield or not, it's hard to deny his commitment to public service and many sacrifices made.

Great Story, OK Narration

Revisado: 09-14-21

This was an interesting story with good character development. The more the story played out, the more I got into it and its characters. You'll read much criticism of the narrator. She wasn't terrific and some of her accents were overdone to be sure. But as the reading progressed, that didn't bother me a whole lot and I enjoyed the story. Onward to the next book in the series.

I've read several non-fiction works on the WWII navy and the pacific battles. This one is well done and incredibly well narrated. Highly recommended!

A work celebrating a distinguished life and career

Revisado: 08-11-21

This is a book which really afforded a personal window into the person of Admiral NImitz while also providing a rich and detailed history of the pacific portion of WWII. Well told and read with flourish. Well done and worthy of the readers time. I enjoyed this very much.

An inspiring story

Revisado: 07-17-21

An inspiring story about service to one’s country (the men of the USS Grunion) but also about what binds fathers and sons and of a family who were dedicated to keep the memory alive of a long lost but never forgotten family member. It was beautifully told and also kept ones interest throughout. Also expertly narrated. Well recommend.

An awesome story about incredible leaders

Revisado: 07-17-21

An inspiring story about some historic leaders from WW II. I give the author credit in that he covers the good and the bad, the strengths a d the weaknesses. And most importantly, due credit is given to the brave men and woken who these admirals led. For without them, the contributions of these admirals could would not have happened. Finally, my complements to the narrator who brought it all to life in elegant and very listenable fashion. Well done and well worth the audio read.

An incredible story

Revisado: 07-10-21

An incredible story, about an incredible mission featuring real life hero’s. At times the book was painful to read, but only because the author so powerfully relayed the incredible suffering these brave heroes endured. It was a memorable read and I was left with enduring appreciation for the servicemen and women of the time who served this country with honor. A fantastic book!
