Compared to the Puritans, Mormons have rarely gotten their due, often treated as fringe cultists or marginalized polygamists unworthy of serious examination. In Kingdom of Nauvoo, Benjamin E. Park excavates the brief, tragic life of a lost Mormon city, demonstrating that the Mormons are essential to understanding American history writ large. Using newly accessible sources, Park re-creates the Mormons' 1839 flight from Missouri to Illinois.

Can't get over "Nauvoo" pronunciation
Revisado: 03-10-20
Good book, and I like Souer's voice and was excited for this audible book, but he pronounces Nauvoo as "nuvoo" the entire time and it drives me insane (to the point that I only focus on that). I looked it up to make sure I wasn't the crazy person, and no one else says it like that. I hope I can eventually get over it, especially when it is used through the entire book.

In War for the Hell of It, Cobleigh shares his perspectives in a deeply personal account of a fighter pilot's life, one filled with moral ambiguity and military absurdities offset by the undeniable thrill of flying a fighter plane. With well-crafted prose that puts you into his Phantom's cockpit, Cobleigh vividly recounts the unexplainable loss of his wingman, the useless missions he flew, the need to trust his reflexes, eyesight, aggressiveness, and his survival instincts in the heat of combat.

Fantasticly written.

The detailed descriptions kept my mind constantly entertained. Made me appreciate those who came before me and gave my mind a small window into the lives of these men in the USAF. Not being in the military myself, it was a fantastic journey...especially the aircraft carrier portion. Now I need to find a good USN story to supplement!
