Great story and insight about the underbelly of America

Revisado: 04-08-25

Book narration was EXCELLENT. Absolutely enjoyed and learned a lot about the criminal white underbelly of America. I’d say of you listened to the author’s podcasts, feel free to skip ahead as there is some regurgitation. However, there is also new stuff. Wish the author had gone little more in depth about the basic FBI training at Quantico along with other agents/cases influenced by criminals he arrested and prosecuted. Overall it is a quick and to the point book.

Detailed and throughly explained

Revisado: 04-03-25

Many books out there explaining heinous crimes and the criminals behind these deeds, but not many from a scientific perspective. Author does an excellent job connecting the MRI scans of brains and the behavior of the psychopaths he researched. The book does go into little bit too much detail and drones on, feel free to skip those minutes. Overall would definitely recommend this work for anyone interested in learning about psychopathy.

Borrow from library instead, terrible narrator.

Revisado: 10-02-24

Overall, a decent overview of Counter Intelligence but a very narrow view. Author apparently forgot there are other intelligence specialities which impact CI, zero mention of them.

The narrator is awful, and i mean like an SNL skit. Comical, pompous, arrogant, offering ridiculous innuendos. Pretty tough listening to this dude pontificating for hours on end.

Information wise, it has some interesting nuggets regarding particular cases but nothing earth shattering.

Excellent research on an invaluable topic

Revisado: 09-08-24

Highly* recommend this book. It was well researched and written to be highly relatable. I have always respected LTC(R) Blaber, as I have read his previous work. He uses today’s challenges in a very effective manner to highlight HOW to think in a common sense way. As many of have experienced, common sense is dying in our collective society. Younger generations are ignorant of most basic life skills, using common sense being one of them. This work would be a very useful tool for our young generations to learn, grow and perhaps survive in dark times that may lay ahead.

Great stories…some with unnecessary political bias

Revisado: 07-07-24

As always, King delivers. Patton’s narration is perfect!
Unfortunately, some of the stories are tainted with political bias and jabs usually the hallmark of today’s divisive large news channels. King is usually too smart and talented to fall for these cheap pitfalls but here he did though in limited fashion. In the afterword he does explain where these views came from, and it is not him but rather his spouse overshadowing his work.

Irregardless, rest of the stories are dark, mysterious, and absolutely draws in the listener to meet King’s magical characters. Some may even haunt your thoughts and dreams for days to come. Well worth the time and purchase, highly recommend it!

Wonderful, glorious, and mythic

Revisado: 04-20-24

The story,m is marvelous with rich characters and beautiful narration. If you live outdoors, adventure, and stories about endurance, this book is definitely for you.
I plan to listen to many more Jack London books.

Great but lacking some details

Revisado: 03-07-24

Enjoyed this book very much, very details and brutally honest. Only thing i didn’t care for was leaving the fact Karen Hills full blown affair with Paulie. She apparently slept with him and perhaps bunch of other Wiseguys to keep her purse padded. Otherwise good and well narrated.

Awful diatribe, full of unnecessary sarcasm

Revisado: 11-08-23

Hands down one of the worst non-fiction I have experienced. Authors are apparently into LARPing and role playing which they hold rather sacred but everything else is beneath their taste in literature or otherwise.
Unfortunately, the material covered has tons of potential for a decent well researched work. However, the author’s moronic sarcasm and childish cynicism takes away any hope. Think of this book as a cross between Jerry Springer and the Kardashians. Pointless and unnecessary assault on one’s nerves for pure entertainment purposes.
Definitely would not recommend, even as free.

Good info bit full of contradictions

Revisado: 10-31-23

Really enjoyed the Jujitsu and fighting techniques. Also, a decent background of Jujitsu development in Brazil.
However, it was interested in his breathing techniques which was barely covered.
I’d the biggest let down was the mudslinging and badmouthing he does about his family. Lots of axe grinding. Contradicts himself repeatedly by pointing out his values but then selectively follows them as suits his needs. Overall the relevant and good info is about 1/3 of the book, rest is about his grandiose ego.
