Straightforward, linear narrative from beginning of Hillary's 2016 to her crushing defeat to Donald Trump.

A great listen, loved the narration and the exploration into the background and motivation that drove the candidates in 1968.

Disturbing, and well-researched.

Fantastic, breezy (as breezy can be regarding such a topic) exploration into whether Stalin was the driving force compared to Hitler in setting Europe up for war. Have listened to it once already (narration keeps the pace well) and am two hours away from finishing my second listen. While the book is understandably about the Voj, being an American, the insights into how he played FDR like a fiddle were eye-opening and very depressing. If you ever doubted that FDR was a stooge for Stalin this book should clear up any mistaken notion that he wasn't. Had he not died in 1945 he'd have sold out the entire world to Josef. Learn within about FDR confidante Harry Hopkins, a Stalin stooge; the capture of the Doolittle Raiders by the Soviets to placate the Japanese; how FDR's administration favored the Soviets over the Brits in lend-lease; how FDR downplayed the Soviet's Katyn Massacre by lying to Polish-Americans about the murders of 20,000 Poles, and more.

I sought out criticism of this book wherever I could find it, to ensure that I wasn't merely believing everything the author said. I found one single possible blemish, pointed out by an author who wrote a book calling Stalin a 'man of peace' (!), that McMeekin may have quoted a speech by Stalin that he didn't actually give. That's it.

What amazing research and thorough sourcing by the author. A must-read!

Narrator was ASMR-worthy, but this was nonetheless a great exploration into government, blm, antifa, etc.
