As President Trump’s national security advisor, John Bolton spent many of his 453 days in the room where it happened, and the facts speak for themselves. The result is one of the few White House memoirs to date by a top-level official. With almost daily access to the president, John Bolton has produced a precise rendering of his days in and around the Oval Office. What Bolton saw astonished him: a president for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation.

Important but poorly written
Revisado: 06-23-20
Bolton provides important context to the political crisis of our time: the incompetent, megalomaniac occupying the Oval Office and his small band of sycophants. Nonetheless, Bolton writes like Trump thinks. Well, if Trump could think in complete sentences. Bolton's thoughts are, to borrow a particularly apt phrase of his, an archipelago of dots that the reader is left to connect. Although, not the entire book suffers from this. Apparently some chapters were professionally edited. But others, like the first chapter, read like he simply transcribed his notes. If you have the patience for poor political prose and already have a nuanced understanding of the events Bolton discusses, this may be worth your library. Otherwise, just watch his ABC interview. It covers the highlights coherently.

Unit 731: The Forgotten Asian Auschwitz by Derek Pua, is not for the faint of heart. It is, however, for anyone wanting to more clearly understand the extent of Imperial Japanese war crimes. This brief, dispassionate, and factual book outlines the creation and development of Unit 731, an organization that employed thousands of Japanese scientists who conducted nightmarish experiments on an untold number of human guinea pigs, all in the name of medical research.

Tragic Story, Poor Narration
Revisado: 12-07-16
What did you love best about Unit 731?
The history and detail of Unit 731 is first rate.
What didn’t you like about Nicole Dahlstrom’s performance?
Ms. Dahlstrom's recorded has a hollow sound to it indicating poor recording equipment. That is a bit distracting. What is VERY DISTRACTING is the many mispronounced words, most often Cholera. Cholera has no syllables emphasized. However, Ms. Dahlstrom pronounces it with an emphasis on the first syllable, i.e., KOH-lair-ah. Very distracting. Other words too.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
