Excessive use of quotations, many for one word, make this audio book very difficult to finish. I quit at the 3rd chapter as the <quote> <unquote> was distracting and annoying. Story and facts may be solid, however, at this time there may be other books detailing these events in more accurately or with better validation. Reading this book is probably fine as you can look past all the quotation marks but do not waste your time on the audio book.

Good listen if you know nothing about the conspiracy and planning behind Lincoln's assassination. No new information or research in this book, appears to be a retelling of the historical account. Author is sympathetic to Mary Surratt's treatment at trial. I would not read again.

Despite another biography of the greatest combat leader in US history, the focus of this book is on the human side of George S Patton. The genesis of the famous prayer is developed and provides a theme for this account. Overall, you will receive new insights into this World War III leader and it makes for a most enjoyable read and reflection on this great man.

Largely anecdotal account of this operation with little research from military or official original sources. I was looking for greater details of the support of US POWs held in Germany but this book did not provide background and genesis for this secret operation.
A large detraction in this "historical" account was the author comments throughout the book of the unfounded use of torture in recent US Middle East military experience as compared to the lack of torture by American interrogators during WW 2. The comments imply that the US military engaged in this illegal activity and were political remarks which have no place in an objective historical account.

I've studied, read about, and professionally discussed the history of the Strategic Bomber Campaign of World War II as a cadet, B-52 pilot and crew member, at Staff College, and at War College. Throughout my career I heard many stories but none so profound and moving as Maj Luckadoo's experience. As a country, we were extremely fortunate to have young men who stepped up to the call and performed their duty admirably and professionally. it was my honor to follow in their footsteps during my US Air Force career.

Fascinating and insightful account of the madness in Salem 300 years ago. The connection with today's "Cancel Culture" is appropriate. Strange how human nature remains the same regardless of technology, experience, or history.

Amazing how little things have changed since the 1990s. Rush was far ahead of all of us.
