Just as Steve Coll told the story of globalization through ExxonMobil and Andrew Ross Sorkin told the story of Wall Street excess through Too Big to Fail, Christopher Leonard’s Kochland uses the extraordinary account of how the biggest private company in the world grew to be that big to tell the story of modern corporate America.

Best business book in long time for me
Revisado: 11-05-19
Not a big fan of Kochland but thought book was informative balanced and thought provoking. Great overview and analysis of business in America by telling story of one company and man behind it.

Garry Wills has spent a lifetime thinking and writing about Christianity. In What the Qur'an Meant, Wills invites listeners to join him as he embarks on a timely and necessary reconsideration of the Qur'an, leading us through perplexing passages with insight and erudition. What does the Qur'an actually say about veiling women? Does it justify religious war? There was a time when ordinary Americans did not have to know much about Islam. That is no longer the case.

In the wake of the September 11 attacks and the US-led invasion of Iraq, Suzy Hansen, who grew up in an insular conservative town in New Jersey, was enjoying early success as a journalist for a high-profile New York newspaper. Increasingly, though, the disconnect between the chaos of world events and the response at home took on pressing urgency for her. Seeking to understand the Muslim world that had been reduced to scaremongering headlines, she moved to Istanbul.

Great insight a little too one sided
Revisado: 09-21-17
Yes we Americans enjoy innocence and wealth through exploitation of others. Yes we should be more empathetic and do less harm. Yes we should recognize our sordid past in more truthful manner. Still I think she needs to acknowledge some strengths in our systems and governance that slow us to correct and be less abusive than other empires
The book itself is very well written with great information on her subject

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 518
Richard J. Evans's gripping narrative ranges across a century of social and national conflicts, from the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 to the unification of both Germany and Italy, from the Russo-Turkish wars to the Balkan upheavals that brought this era of relative peace and growing prosperity to an end. The first single-volume history of the century, this comprehensive and sweeping account gives the listener a magnificently human picture of Europe in the age when it dominated the rest of the globe.

Thoroughly engaging
Revisado: 03-18-17
A well organized and thoughtful overview. It gave me great insight into this period. I did not realize how ignorant I was about this time with violence and hardship beyond scale we can comprehend.
Great reader. His use of voices for historical characters brought life to the reading. The 45 hours went surprisingly fast.
I would strongly recommend for any history student and any American who wants to better understand where as well as why our ancestors left

Can't wait for next installment. Mike continues to grow as person. He continues to find interesting people to interact with. And the story continues to be fast paced exciting and unpredictable like a good mystery should.
