A Part of Our History Overlooked far too Often

Revisado: 12-20-23

I felt this book was very well written. it covered so much territory that I cannot believe in all of my school days was never taught. and why should it be because it exposed the treachery over and over and over again of the United States and it certainly is something that many people would want to bury. so unfortunate that we hold ourselves at such a high pedestal as defenders of other countries and yet our history has been one of genocide. I'm not one of these people that looks at us with Shane because just that has been our history it doesn't mean that we can't change. however stories of these are so important to understand our history and how we became who we are. we like to think that our history is wrapped up in our European ancestors yet there were great people that were here on these lands long before us. the author takes us back to the very beginning of this brutal war that lasted for decades. it's clear that there were no Innocents on either side and yet so much that still needs to be told. I definitely recommend anybody that they read this because it will enlighten you and very profound ways.

There is a reason this is a classic

Revisado: 12-19-23

I must first start with mentioning the narrator before addressing the story as a whole. The narrator was unbelievable! His voice captured each character so much that as I listened not seemed more a conversation that I was listening to rather then someone reading. The narrator brought every character to life in the most vibrant manner which allowed the writing to shine. This was my first Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story and I cannot believe I waited so long. The mystery is beautifully illustrated in every possible way. He wasted no time on trifling distractions, but kept the story focused and flowing. I was disappointed it was not longer. What a thrill! Listen and enjoy!

Unbelievable

Revisado: 11-09-22

It is impossible to fully capture Milton Erickson's genius, yet Sidney Rosen, a remarkable therapist himself, colds as close as what can be. As Rosen rights in the forward that if you read this book from the standpoint of trying to remember each of the stories then you would be reading it for the wrong reason. It is true that many of the teaching Tales contained in this book will be memorable and easily accessible, it is the nature of Erickson's stories that Inspire us to more fully utilize our own abilities and to be unimpaired by limits we place upon ourselves. You did not need to be a hypnotist to learn from the stories, you only need to be curious.

Well Done

Revisado: 08-20-22

Mr. Fernandez did a fantastic job in narrating this book. In fact other than Titus Well over, he has been my favorite narrator. he doesn't change his voice into a false female voice or come up with weird inflections and intonations it is reading it's just straightforward. I very much enjoy that! the story was well done by Michael Connelly as tends to be the case. I read this book a long time ago decided to listen to it here on Audible and it was very entertaining.

good

Revisado: 07-30-22

a very good story got a little heavy in the minutiae of details at times but still quite the yarn. definitely would recommend this. I was not a huge fan of the narrator. it's not that he was terrible he just wasn't right. but he was good enough.

A Good Telling for a much Undertold Battle

Revisado: 08-07-21

The author did a terrific job of capturing the backdrop that led to this important battle. He created a sense of the progression of the battle, the carnage, the violence, the chaos, the havoc,the ineptitude of the generals and the courage of the soldiers. He captured the long lasting impact upon the town and how the Battle of Perryville affected the civil war in it's totality. It is unfortunate that the stories of that battle have not received the attention due. I am a Kentuckians and never once in school ever heard about this battle. Yet its far-reaching consequences cannot be understated. Certainly encourage anybody to read this book about a battle that needs to be told. The performance of the narrator was very very good.His reading accented stories quite nicely without overtaking them.

An in-depth account of the Battle of Antietam

Revisado: 07-18-21

Steven Sears does an outstanding job of telling the many details of the horrible battle. I have been able to find very little surprisingly so on this battle and this is the first thorough account that I have read of it. Steven Sears how's the many different sides of the story from George McClellan, to Robert E Lee, to General Burnside, General Longstreet and the remarkable soldiers that were the ones doing the fighting. The many different stories are confusing and enlightening at the same time much as the battle itself was. He also captures the political background of what was happening leading up to this battle and following it.
