a must read memoir to understand the reality of the Marines in the Pacific campaign
Revisado: 08-15-24
This book is brutally honest and needs to be read to understand the reality of war. EB Sledge provides us with one of the finest memoirs of the Second World War that has ever been written. Joe Mezello read the story with heartfelt sincerity and conviction. as he portrayed Sledge in" The Pacific", he provides the raw gut intensity needed for this book.

I liked the common navy corpsman account of the action. Narration was clear and embodied the main character.

Seemed to have a quick ending. I was not looking for a macro picture of the fall of the Philippines, but a few more general tactical notes on the big scale would add some flavor

Considered by many to be Chesterton's greatest masterpiece, this audiobook declares his comprehensive view of world history as informed by the Incarnation. Retelling mankind's story from the very beginning, he shows how all human desires are fulfilled in the person of Christ and Christ's church. With his characteristic brilliance and irony, he argues that Christianity is not just a religion to stand beside other religions, for the fact of the Incarnation sets it apart.

narrator read well and clearly.
GKC is rooted in common sense. worth the time.. i have read this selection of GKC 3x. He always has complete command of the English language as well as Western Civilization. Turns of phrase and almost poetic writing resonate with wisdom.

Admiral of the Ocean Sea is Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison's classic biography of the greatest sailor of them all, Christopher Columbus. It is written with the insight, energy, and authority that only someone who had himself sailed in Columbus's path to the New World could muster. Morison undertook this expedition in a 147-foot schooner and a 47-foot ketch, the dimensions of these craft roughly matching those of Columbus's Santa Maria and Nina.

Morrison offers authentic portrait of Columbus
Revisado: 09-08-20
Columbus was truly a magnificent sailor, who ventured against all odds. This is a well - rounded classic from a great historian, Morrison. it is not hagiography, but a real history, which speaks of Columbus's weaknesses and failures, and highlights the courageous seaman he was. tome was masterfully read. Spanish (Castilian) and Latin (classical and not ecclesiastical) translations aided to the historical setting.
