Historia
When Nazi forces entered Kraków, Poland in 1939, unexpected and unresisted, Josef Lewkowicz's life became a nightmare overnight as he and his family were rounded up and sent to concentration camps across German-occupied territory. It wasn't long before Josef found himself face-to-face with SS kommandant Amon Goeth, whose brutality was made infamous by the film Schindler's List. As Josef struggled to survive the violence, horror, and degradations of one prison camp after another—he was kept alive only by his faith and his profound sense of justice.

The Survivor
Revisado: 04-03-25
I’ve read many books on the Holocaust. The author is a testament to the good in humanity. His portrayals are illuminating. They will take you down to ground level in the concentration camps and the abhorent behavior of the Nazis. For the person who has just started reading about the Nazis and WW II, this book is an excellent start. I am grateful for the author’s courage and thankful he chose to write about his experiences.

Historia
James A. Garfield may have been the most extraordinary man ever elected president. Born into abject poverty, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar, a Civil War hero, and a renowned and admired reformist congressman. Nominated for president against his will, he engaged in a fierce battle with the corrupt political establishment. But four months after his inauguration, a deranged office seeker tracked Garfield down and shot him in the back. But the shot didn’t kill Garfield. The drama of what happened subsequently is a powerful story of a nation in turmoil.

Historia
Fear of a Microbial Planet, a sweeping treatise on the COVID era published by Brownstone Institute, offers desperately needed clarity and science on the organization and management of individual social life in the presence of pathogenic infection. It can be read as a definitive answer to expert arrogance, political overreach, and population panic.

An Outstanding Review of Infectious Diseases!
Revisado: 08-12-23
The author tackles what has been a very emotional topic for all people for a variety of reasons. He does this in an informational and unemotional way.
The reader’s performance is outstanding. Many times, I’ve wondered how narrators are able to tackle a subject where they may not have agreed with the content of the author’s work. This narrator’s performance hits all the right inflections in all the right places! I walked away from listening to this book learning more and enjoying it more than if I’d read the hard copy.

Historia
History chiefly remembers Martin Van Buren as the eighth president of the United States (1837– 1841). He was also, however, notable for achieving many firsts in American politics. He was the first American president to be born a citizen of the country, and not a British subject. He was the first Dutchman and the first man without Anglo-Saxon ancestry to serve as president. He was the first and only American president to have been raised in a language other than English.

Revisado: 07-22-23
This book presents a reasonably good cursory review. The reader consistently mispronounced “memoir” as mem-wire.

This book, in my opinion, is probably better suited as a book vice audio book. There are many, many very interesting and valid concepts presented in this book that require thoughtful and deliberative consideration. That said, this book was very enlightening.

Historia
Americans have lost faith in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an institution they once regarded as the world’s greatest law-enforcement agency. Thomas Baker spent many years with the FBI and is deeply troubled by this loss of faith. Specific lapses have come to light and each is thoroughly discussed in this book: Why did they happen? What changed? The answer begins days after the 9/11 attacks when the FBI underwent a significant change in culture.

The book, while informative, more accurately can be described as a bio of Baker's FBI career than the Fall of the FBI. As such, it is a disappointment.

Written by an Apologist for the FBI
Revisado: 10-11-22
The author's view point is limited by his experiences. He omits or glosses over critical events in support of Mueller and Comey and others. The omissions can likely be attributed to the author's lack of direct involvement in those other critical areas. He does not acknowledge this, so it's difficult to say. This author's work appears to be authoritative in only two respects; 1) he had access to Comey and Mueller; and 2) he was an FBI agent.

Historia
In December 1937, in the capital of China, one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarity occurred. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking and within weeks not only looted and burned the defenseless city but systematically raped, tortured and murdered more than 300,000 Chinese civilians. Amazingly, the story of this atrocity- one of the worst in world history- continues to be denied by the Japanese government.

This is a terrific review of Japanese atrocities.
Revisado: 02-18-22
It's challenging to imagine the magnitude of Japanese atrocities in their war in China. The fact that the Nazi Ambassador to China felt it necessary to help protect the Chinese is powerful testimony to the barbarity of Japanese in Nanking. The difference, at least to me, between the Japanese and Germans in World War II is that the Germans ultimately accepted and apologized for their actions while the Japanese have felt no such need to do so.

Historia
Beginning in the predawn hours of airports in the Northeast, we meet the ticket agents who unknowingly usher terrorists onto their flights, and the flight attendants inside the hijacked planes. In New York City, first responders confront a scene of unimaginable horror at the Twin Towers. From a secret bunker underneath the White House, officials watch for incoming planes on radar. Aboard the small number of unarmed fighter jets in the air, pilots make a pact to fly into a hijacked airliner if necessary to bring it down.
