Painful Piece of America's Military History

Revisado: 01-23-25

For anyone interested in uncovering a more comprehensive understanding of America's early 90s military culture, this is for you.
The personal anecdotes, tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) annotated here serve as important benchmarks for where our military is today.
Definitely recommend this title!

A Good Man

Revisado: 02-04-24

For anyone who served in any military or in any capacity of service, this novel will bring to mind those Damons and Massengales who have influenced us along the way.
I intend the actually read this--and soon-as some of its integral content is lost (not in any way due to the narrator's performance) in the passing if it's audio pages.
One of the simplest (and most poignant) quotes regarding the expectation of a man comes from Mr. Myrer's exhaustive odyssey:
"You can't help what you were born and you may not have much to say about where you die, but you can and you should try to pass the days in between as a good man."
This is an excellent novel, and for those eager to learn from and reflect on the leadership that has influenced their lives--shaping them into the men (or women) they are today--this is a literary must-read.

Excellent Resolution

Revisado: 11-07-23

I could not be more satisfied w/ what is (in my understanding) the last installment of the James Reece series.
Reece's tactics, mindset, resolve, and will to finish the mission is a for e to be reckoned with.
These novels inspire and give many ex-operators a will to continue the mission. Whether that mission is in a simpler life at home, or in continuing to keep America safe in some other career--we can all be encouraged to do our best, regardless of the battlefield, thanks to these novels.
I highly recommend every one of Mr. Carr's exhilarating adventure-thrillers!

Love Jack's Work

Revisado: 10-30-23

This was the first book I listened to of Mr. Carr's. I've read all the preceding novels.
This was a phenomenal book!
If you're someone who spends a great deal of time either driving or doing something pseudo-mindless, then I could not encourage you more to listen to these incredible novels.
The story gets an A+ as well as the narration.
I'm starting the next one immediately after writing this review as I don't feel like waiting long to find out what happens next.
On behalf of ex-operators everywhere, thank you Jack. Your novels inspire and give hope for many looking to begin their next mission.

Enlightening

Revisado: 10-08-23

This ought to be required reading for all military members of any nation w/ an interest on attempting to engage further in The Great Game.
If we desire to know our future we'd do well to familiarize ourself w/ the past.
Highly recommended, especially for anyone having played a part in The Great Game.

Hyper Awareness Content

Revisado: 05-22-23

Excellent book written by a man who has spent life understanding culture, economics, sociology, and their inherent amalgamation. Although dated, humans are the same and the issues written here are not new nor are they archaic, they are modern and continue to be relevant to this day (22 May 2023).
To anyone interested in America's historical ethnic diversity, this is a great listen!
Thank you for enlightening us once again Professor Sowell.

Incredible Story of Pain and Forgivness

Revisado: 04-27-23

This was an excellent book. Very informative and incredibly inspiring. I found myself talking back to the words in certain portions as I was beyond shocked at the misanthropic cruelty of the Nazis and the supernatural strength of the persecuted.
This novel touches my heart as my wife and I are both Ashkenazi (Eastern European Jew) descendants, much of my own family perishing under Hitler's Third Reich.
For anyone interested in learning more of the Holocaust or the effects of National Socialism upon the coastal region of Europe, this is definitely the next book you need to listen to.

Great Ode to America's Hero

Revisado: 02-28-23

This was a great story and the presentation initially threw me off due to the narrator's syntax, but once I grasped his flow everything fell into place.
The book expresses David Crockett's personality, his wanderlust, his passion for greatness, as well as helping us understand that a man doesn't know what he has 'til he knows he'll never see it again.
Crockett is expressed as a flawed and ordinary man; an ordinary man overcoming extraordinary circumstances. I feel that it was his indomitable spirit rather than his charisma or bravery which led him to the annals of American frontier history.
I highly recommend this novel to anyone interested in learning about the life of this truly incredible--and painfully flawed--American hero.

Incredible Biography of Uncle Grant

Revisado: 02-15-23

Ulysses S. Grant was my great great uncle and it was a privilege to learn the true story behind one of my greatest kin.
The historical records contained here reveal not only the power and might of his remarkable professional career, but more importantly the sincerity and empathy of his personal nature.

Incredible and subtle

Revisado: 01-17-23

Ayn Rand delivers a stunning blow to our increasingly lethargic and ignorant train of thought.
Though long-winded and painfully repetitive, the message is delivered w/ the greatest literary conviction of fiction I have ever read.
This is a book delivering a message of America's future, translating the writing already scribbled onto our western culture's walls.
The narrator (Scott Brick) absolutely perfected the story in delivery and I commend his professional efforts as they took what was already incredible and through his subtle tones made it extraordinary.
