Good account of the battle of Stalingrad

Revisado: 08-09-16

I enjoyed the authors coverage of the battle which seem balanced to both sides involved.
Not just limited to the strategy of the battle the tales of survival and the individual strength of men and women directly involved gave me since of what really occurred.

What did you love best about Preparation for the Next Life?

How author painted each setting in words. You really could picture it in your mind form the descriptions.

What does Robertson Dean bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Dean keeps you interested by bring the characters to life with with different tones and inflections he uses. Not just reading the words but acting them.

Who was the most memorable character of Preparation for the Next Life and why?

Skinner to me was the most memorable character. He was so trouble and tormented and never could really face up to his problems before it was too late.

Would you listen to Dirty Wars again? Why?

I started out thinking this book would be a total bashing of the Bush administration but the author was balanced in his treatment of current and past administrations.

Additionally it gave me a much better understanding of how the Executive branch of the US government has managed to side step most of the review process put in place at the end of the Vietnam war to control covert operations. It was real eye opener to hear how little hard evidence is required before a drone strike can be order and how little concern within administration there is for collateral damage and deaths caused by the strikes.

Great read, very interesting, Thought provoking

Revisado: 05-05-10

I have listen over the last couples of months with fascination. The reading is well paced not monotone. The scientific explanations are will written and easy to understand.
I have really enjoyed this audio book and would recommend it just for the historical perspective alone. It provides a startling and sometimes grotesque picture in words on subject almost forgotten by today generations.
Makes you think before saying “just nuke them”.
