Myth vs reality
Revisado: 11-05-24
Book portrayed quite a different perspective on Reagan . Felt like a bit of a hit piece with the author going back forth in an attempt to find balance . No doubt regans administration did an incredible job of portraying him a favorable light but this author , with access to new documents, tears down that wall and I don’t mean the Berlin Wall. I suppose the truth is in middle

Historia
Hall of Fame football coach Jimmy Johnson’s house isn’t on the way to anything. Yet, his private sanctuary on the Florida Keys’ Islamorada islands is a popular destination to which college and professional coaches, general managers, and team owners regularly trek to seek advice—how to build a positive team culture, draft elite players, balance work and family life, and lead a team to win. Why? Because Jimmy Johnson has done it all. Now, written with sports journalist Dave Hyde, Johnson shares a candid account of his life experiences that have turned him into a legend in the coaching world.

Historia
Love & Whiskey is the true story of Jack Daniel, Nearest Green, the man, and Uncle Nearest, the whiskey company Fawn Weaver founded to honor and amplify Green's legacy. But it’s not the whole story. A bonus chapter in the audiobook edition centers on Weaver's commitment to right the wrongs of history by cementing one man’s legacy for generations to come. It represents a living promise to give a family back the dream that was denied them in a place and time where dreams were not permitted for all.

All for having history be accurate and I suppose if it is not and the offended part feels the need for a soft revenge so be it . This is truly a wonderful story but Marius the central figure was oh so overwhelmed by the authors and tellers need to be viewed as more important . She has some serious ego issues . NOWALL OF THIS SAID IF A DAVID MCCULLOUGH WERE THE AUTHOR AND NARRATOR THIS EFFORT WOULD HAVE PULITZER

Historia
When Pope Pius XII died in 1958, his papers were sealed in the Vatican Secret Archives, leaving unanswered questions about what he knew and did during World War II. Those questions have only grown and festered, making Pius XII one of the most controversial popes in Church history, especially now as the Vatican prepares to canonize him.

Historia
As one of the most potent turning points in the country's modern history, the Opium War has since come to stand for everything that today's China seeks to put behind it. In this dramatic, epic story, award-winning historian Stephen Platt sheds new light on the early attempts by Western traders and missionaries to "open" China even as China's imperial rulers were struggling to manage their country's decline and Confucian scholars grappled with how to use foreign trade to China's advantage.

Historia
Since the global financial crisis of 2008, people have increasingly lost trust in institutions and elites, while seizing upon new digital tools to sidestep traditional gatekeepers. As a result, powerful new voices—once regarded as radical, unorthodox, or marginal—are disrupting the status quo in politics, business, and culture. Meanwhile, social and economic inequalities are stoking populist rage across the world, toxic partisanship is undermining democratic ideals, and the internet and AI have become high-speed vectors for the spread of misinformation.

The absolute one sided liberal progressive perspective
Revisado: 07-24-24
I’m an independent voter and was simply astonished by the singular liberal pic. books like this cause the country to be so divided . Such an anti Trump perspective I wonder how much the liberals paid for this to written , I, as well as millions of other deserve a balanced perspective ….one of the worst books I’ve read / listened to this year . The only part I enjoyed was the explanation of the great wave graphic

Historia
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 dawned what Francis Fukuyama called “The End of History.” Three decades later, Jim Sciutto said on CNN’s air as the Ukraine war began, that we are living in a “1939 moment.” History never ended—it barely paused—and the global order as we have known it is now gone. Great powers are reinvigorated and determined to assert dominance on the world stage. And as it escalates, this new order will affect everyone across the globe.

Revisado: 05-17-24
Thoroughly enjoyed book . Have confidence in authors facts and most conclusions . I disagree on the value he places on alliances and treaties . As Churchill said “ the only alliances we can trust are the ones from the countries we don’t need. History so accurately demonstrates that where s major power wants to extricate itself from agreements it does so without concern . After listening to over 240 books . 95% non fiction and memoirs the author has the perfect voice to accompany his writing skills and intellect. Now for a crisp that reduces the authors credibility. He trashes Trump on many occasions but says nothing negative about Biden . I’m not s trump fan but if your going after one president you must go after the other. Your credibility is at stake
