This definitive biography of James K. Polk covers the most important years of Polk's political career - from a twice-defeated gubernatorial candidate in Tennessee to dark-horse candidate for the presidency and one of the most successful first 18 months of any American president. The months of Polk’s administration covered here contain the bulk of his expansionist program - the annexation of Texas, the settlement of the Oregon boundary with Great Britain, and the war with Mexico that led to the acquisition of California and New Mexico.

Informative and Interesting
Revisado: 12-13-19
My initial thought about the audiobook is that it would be boring, but I was mistaken. The storyteller grabbed my attention with his tone and pitch of voice. I usually do not listen to Audio podcasts because of my short attention span, but I enjoyed this. I learned a lot about the U.S government, especially the banking system in the US, and democracy. The storyteller's narrative voice was interactive and made the audio interesting. For example, when he reads a sentence made by the character, he changes his voice to fit into the character he describes. I would recommend, especially to students who have to prepare for U.S government exams but arent enthusiastic about reading the textbooks because the storyteller makes it interesting to listen too.

North Korea has achieved a breakthrough with nuclear warheads and is about to arm their strategic missiles - weapons that could set the world ablaze. The Echo Six unit commander, Abe Talley, is ordered to take his men across the 38th Parallel. Their mission is to locate and destroy the nukes, as well as their creators. They must enter the heart of the most secretive, repressive, and brutal nation on Earth - and somehow find a way back.

Interesting War Story
Revisado: 11-28-18
Before I listened to the audiobook, I thought that it would be boring. It was boring for the first three times I listened to it because I am not interested in war books, and I am a visual learner. I decided to pay attention to the audiobook and listen attentively, and I began to enjoy. I have a short attention span, so my mind drifts away easily which made me start over at least ten times. I like how the narrator uses different voices to impersonate the different characters. For example, when the narrator says MARTA! MARTA! The narrator seized my attention, and makes me wonder who is Marta?
Honestly, the story was boring until the battleground. The battleground narration was interesting that I was eager to listen to chapter two. The suspense at the end of chapter two after the conversation between the sergeant made the story exciting. The narrator impersonating a young Pakistan voice at 37:46 is great, especially, speaking with different voices back and forth. The story became interesting around Dave death, the five children kalbi killed, and the innocent children who were the enemy. I enjoy fights, weapons, and action in the narration. The narrator makes it enjoyable, but I would prefer if the author made some sounds. For example, instead of saying “he shot him three times”, the narrator should say “He shot him, Boom, Boom, Boom three times” I enjoy the humor in the audiobook and the way that it is said. The narrator was able to handle the different accent and make it interesting.
