Editing was trash, people should be fired

Revisado: 09-24-24

This excellent book was ruined by the editing of the audio. Repeated lines over and over, a dog barking, “that’s not even a word” frustrations by the narrator who should know that is how 18th people wrote when performing a history, cell phone noises. I hope Matthew Spring finds out about the atrocious editing of the audio and gets some just compensation. This is the worst performance of one of the best books about the American Revolution.

Loser propaganda

Revisado: 01-04-23

Wow, this is garbage illogical non-linear crap. Aw the pooooor German army has a poor historical reputation. Sorry brah I don’t have a cookie or a blankie. According to this author The west were the real war criminals. There was a holocaust, vaguely but only in the east, but all the war crimes about the Germans were myths. The only war criminals were bomber oil apparently. Seriously who published this crap.

Insulting to this generation’s veterans

Revisado: 12-15-21

Apparently my Ranger, and Advanced infantry, and jumpmaster training as well as my two years of combat were all unnecessary because I already was a man and manhood was all I needed. Man that was a waste of time. Apparently I also useless and my service not meritorious because as a feminist I’m ruining society and I can’t possibly be tough. This is the kind of combat toughness ideology that causes suicide because the realities of war could not be more different than this insulting garbage.

Anti Semitic lite

Revisado: 06-15-21

So a person read out load and a publisher allowed the words that stated that a person who happened to support Israel and had sone other character flaws is associated with the deep state. Read the actual books Amazon, this is embarrassing! Are you trying to push extremism.

Who cares about her marriage it’s not feminist if it mostly about her finding a man. A dude shouldn’t be telling audible studios this.

Great Story

Revisado: 09-15-18

Other reviewers claim that this book is fake. However, Vietnam Veterans association gives it a positive review, and as a veteran myself, I have noticed that when veterans challenge uncritical nationalism and the romantic war, then people on the extreme right tent to question their service. As a fellow Airborne Ranger, I endorse this book as a great read. Its extremely well written for intellectual audiences, and anyone who wants to understand the motivations and abilities of elite soldiers.

An Excellent Writer Making Fun of Bad Writers

Revisado: 09-15-18

I listened to this back to back. As a writer of history, sci fi is a guilty pleasure, but this was a useful text too. It was essentially a writer at the top of his game irreverently poking fun at poor writing. A fun, intellectually stimulating, guilty pleasure book that I can't wait to have time to listen to again.

As a military history teacher this version makes course prep so much easier. I prefer The American Way of War as a text book for students but this is what I use for lecture. this has helped me significantly. PLEASE keep producing audiobooks of common textbooks.

20th century confederate apologist

Revisado: 04-16-18

Wow, if you were going for whitewashed racism, and criticized emancipation in a twentieth century title than this is the text for you. It’s pure unadulterated lost cause ideas in a more modern text. Perfect for tiki torch marching males who want to feel like good people. If your a little upset about the 13th amendment, then this is your book.

Seriously?

Revisado: 11-14-17

How can you screw up a Winston Churchill’s biography. Making Churchill’s life so unreadably boring frankly had to have occurred on purpose. My theory is that Spencer was reading through the colorfully magnificence of Churchill’s life and was like “how can I make this boring.” While rereading Leopold von Ranke, Spencer tripped over a copy of Braudel’s Mediterranean and shouted “eureka. I’ve finally discovered the key to my masterpiece.”
