As with most books, this is not the TV show.

Revisado: 09-08-24

Yes, the TV show is excellent, but this book goes way beyond what was shown. It covers a lot of policy, a lot of controversy, it covers the racial divide still come and even though Americans were in Europe. It covers decisions that cost thousands lives unnecessarily. That doesn’t make their sacrifice any less, but it points to the life of the soldier, land, air orSea, as it exists under the command of less than stellar officers.

Sounds good to me

Revisado: 10-11-23

It’s an interesting story, well told. I think it was Charles Schwab, who said buy what you understand. I don’t understand cryptocurrency, I’ve never bought any, nor do I know anyone who has. None of that makes the story less interesting.

Astonishing, and frightening, excellent

Revisado: 08-21-23

I will get a kindle copy. There’s too much in here, and I like to highlight important items so I can return to them. This is a frightening and revelatory book. It led me to view videos from university law schools. The contents of this book are beyond dispute.

Interesting story

Revisado: 08-08-23

Mostly correct, oh Audible wants 18 words I’m not gonna counties, so I’ll guess I’ve set 18 words right now.

Good book

Revisado: 10-12-18

Very well done. Stays interesting and at times amusing, never overly worrisome – just appropriately cautionary.

Outstanding

Revisado: 10-18-06

This is an outstanding reading of a great piece of literature. I can't add to 60 years of literary reviews praising this Pulitzer winning classic, but I can compliment Michael Emerson's reading of it. Mr. Emerson's reading is a perfect fit for what is unquestionably a great work of American Literature. His pacing, intonation, and articulation of Warren’s beautiful use of our language enhance the experience of this excellent book.

Outstanding writing and performance

Revisado: 03-11-05

At some point, writing becomes literature. It becomes art. At some point, narration becomes performance art. John Ridley is a brilliant writer, and Dion Graham does more than read; he performs this work, giving voice to the characters and bringing them to life. For those of us old enough to have lived through this era, and young enough to remember it, this is a story that sounds as real as the time. And if the characters and coolness of that era seem dated and even ridiculous, the sad fact is that this was an era in which cultural, collective delusion made it seem far better than it was. Reality happened in grainy black and white, except to those who saw it up close. Most of us didn?t. Mr. Ridley weaves a story of human error, weakness, loyalty, and strength through the events, and with the people, that made the time.

Absolutely Outstanding Historical Document

Revisado: 08-02-04

I expected a dry, factual report. I was surprised to see this is outstanding, both in its content and in the quality of the writers that produced it. The report contains the details we would expect regarding the events of 911, but I didn't expect the background material that sets the events, terrorism itself, and the ominous future we all face now in a historical context that makes it all the more frightening. Excellent narration too.
