An excellent work!!

Revisado: 01-25-23

An in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the concentration camp system. Maybe not an entry level read , however an essential and critical book especially as so many continue to deny the holocaust!

Great book, not so great narration

Revisado: 08-28-22

This is a must read for any student of Gettysburg or the civil war in general! It definitely fills in a gap by taking a much needed and objective look at Meade and his generalship both during the battle and the campaign in general. While the narrator had a very good tone and pace his pronunciation of names was at times quite bad!

A great story but poor narration

Revisado: 10-11-21

While this book sheds light on a subject not widely studied in the west the narrator does take away from it some. How has a good voice and tone, however his pronunciation of names goes in and out. In one sentence he will pronounce General Jodl correctly and in the next butcher it along with terms like adjutant. Again, a great book, but a narrator more familiar with the subject matter would have helped immensely!!

A great book with a bad narrator

Revisado: 08-17-21

Understanding the Myth of the Lost cause is equally important to a complete study of the civil war as studying the battles themselves!! Mr. Bonekemper does an amazing job debunking that great myth that has clouded the way the confederacy has been viewed for so long!!

Sadly, while I enjoyed C.J. McAllisters tone and speed, it was clear that he was not in anyway familiar with the Civil War as a subject. His mispronunciations of peoples names and places were anywhere from bad to atrocious.

A must read for students of Midway

Revisado: 06-05-21

Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully have brought a new and exciting take on the pivotal battle of Midway, especially with their emphasis on the Japanese side of the story. This is an absolute must read for any student of the battle. I would however agree with a previous review in that I would not recommend this as your first book on the battle of Midway. I would highly recommend Craig Symonds excellent work “The Battle of Midway” or Gordon Pranges “Miracle at Midway” first, followed by this

Worth the read!!

Prior to this all I knew Aaron Burr for was as the Vice President who shot Alexander Hamilton. Nancy Isenberg has brought to life a founder who up til now was merely a villain of history and who’s name was the answer to a trivia question

You will feel like you know him!

Chernow truly brings Grant alive, warts and all! By the end you will feel like you actually knew the man! Don’t be discouraged by the length, the story and the narration are both excellent!! You will quickly lose yourself in it

Well worth it!!

Even as a lifelong student of the American Civil War I found this beyond beneficial!! I believe anyone who has studied this conflict in any way will agree that the more you learn about it, the more you find (to your delight I hope) that you didn’t know!!

A must listen!

Revisado: 06-30-19

James Holland sheds new light on a subject that many may believe has been covered to the point of exhaustion!! From his re-examination of the myth of Wehrmacht mechanization and “blitzkrieg” to his in depth look at the nuts and bolts operational level of the war.

Paul Boehmer does a magnificent job narrating! Right down to spot on pronunciations of names and technical terminology along with various accents that, along with tone help keep a 28hr book alive and interesting!

Looking forward to volumes 2 and 3 of this series!!

Unfortunate narration

Revisado: 06-09-19

Overall this book tells the very critical and often overlooked Canadian landing on June 6,1944, sadly however despite having good tone the narrator clearly had no familiarity with many of the terms, names associated with these events and butchered most of them. Had that not been the case this would have made this a much better listen
