I knew the two pilots on AA 119 but had never heard the full, amazing story. Very detailed coverage of many other hijackings of the time, and interesting perspective on DB Cooper’s caper. -JJ

As a moderate Republican who has read several books about Trump's time in the Whitehouse, including three by current Trump allies, Mr. Meadows's account of events falls far short of the consensus truth. In some cases, other accounts sugar-coat some of Trump's shenanigans, but Meadows's account is so far untethered from reality, that he seems to be aiming at an audience of one--DJT.

As a conservative Christian Republican, Mr. Meadows should be ashamed. That he has now turned state's evidence against Mr. Trump either shows that he is trying to stay out jail or that he has finally realized he was on the wrong side of history and reality. For the sake of our country, I hope the latter.

Gov DeSantis has done a number of good things in past four years, but he omitted some very important missteps. He would also be better served by calling Trump out instead of being careful. Played right, MR DeSantis could be the voice of Republican moderates like me, but he has to get out of Trump’s shadow.

This is the first audible non-fiction book I have downloaded that did not include a PDF for referenced supplementary information, in this case footnotes. I think it's a cheap shot by Mr Beck to suggest that I buy his paper book when I thought I was already buying a complete book. Really?

I enjoyed a lot of the information in the book, but Mr Beck, as usual, weaves selected facts together, then insinuates sinister motives to support his latest conspiracy theory. Society is evolving, as it always will, but THEY are not out to get us. Truth to tell, THEY aren't cooperative enough to get us, even if that was their aim. You should always be skeptical when authors use nonspecific THEY a lot.

I also resent his impugning people like Bill Gates who are using their money and influence to solve world problems. For example, I was pleased to read that Mr Beck is a proponent of nuclear power, but I'm betting he isn't pouring much personal wealth into its modernization and deployment. Bill Gates is.

I recommend boycotting the audio book until he comes up with a footnotes PDF!

Good, but not very plausible

I enjoyed the story, and I liked a lot of the technical detail, but much was quite implausible. No test company or pilot would allow an outside reporter on a functional test flight, nor would a test pilot ever intentionally exceed the design limits of an in-service airplane to duplicate an event thought to have occurred in revenue service.

I think this is is certification stuff--if even that. Pretty contrived in that regard.

Still a fun story. Thanks.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The plot and character development were first rate, and the narration made for very easy listening.
