Aside from FDR, no American did more to shape World War II than Admiral William D. Leahy - not Douglas MacArthur, not Dwight Eisenhower, and not even the legendary George Marshall. No man, including Harry Hopkins, was closer to Roosevelt, nor had earned his blind faith, like Leahy. Through the course of the war, constantly at the president's side and advising him on daily decisions, Leahy became the second most powerful man in the world.

A truly underappreciated historic figure!
Revisado: 06-21-22
Anyone that thinks they well read on WWII history should read this book. Because of his modesty and dislike for the spotlight, William Lehie's contributions are greatly underappreciated

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 216
Because of our shared English language, as well as the celebrated origin tales of the Mayflower and the rebellion of the British colonies, the United States has prized its Anglo heritage above all others. However, as Carrie Gibson explains with great depth and clarity in El Norte, the nation has much older Spanish roots - ones that have long been unacknowledged or marginalized. The Hispanic past of the United States predates the arrival of the Pilgrims by a century, and has been every bit as important in shaping the nation as it exists today.

What's not covered in school
Revisado: 03-16-22
If you like reading history that wasn't covered in your history class, this book will not disappoint. It provides a History of the US from the perspective of the Spanish speaking world candidly, without gratuitously vilifying all Anglo-Americans.

Love Levinson's work

I love all of the stuff I've heard from Paul Levinson that's available on Audible. All of them are great stories and entertaining narration

Interesting information . Dreadful Portuguese
Revisado: 01-17-15
Great concise history of Brasil and the role of "Futebol" in Brazilian society. The narrator was good, except when it came to pronouncing any Portuguese words or phrases, of which there are many. He pronounced everything as if he were reading Spanish, even changing Portuguese words into Spanish. Considering location of the story,, the narrator should have made some effort to learn at least the basics of Portuguese pronunciation
