Historia
Senator Frank Church of Idaho was an unlikely hero. He led congressional opposition to the Vietnam War and had become a scathing, radical critic of what he saw as American imperialism around the world. But he was still politically ambitious, privately yearning for acceptance from the foreign policy establishment that he hated and eager to run for president. Despite his flaws, Church would show historic strength in his greatest moment, when in the wake of Watergate he was suddenly tasked with investigating abuses of power in the intelligence community.

The Book Church Deserves
Revisado: 06-18-23
An excellent and concise recounting of Church's life and the work of the Church Committee and it's subcommittees. My only complaint is that the author gives the FBI and CIA far more benefit of the doubt than they deserve, and is less critical of the agencies than many of the committee members were.

Historia
A Lie Too Big to Fail asserts the idea that a government can never investigate itself in a crime of this magnitude. Was the convicted Sirhan Sirhan a willing participant? Or was he a mind-controlled assassin? It has fallen to independent researchers like Pease to lay out the evidence in a clear and concise manner, allowing listeners to form their theories about this event. Pease places the history of this event in the context of the era and provides shocking overlaps between other high-profile murders and attempted murders of the time.

extremely thorough
Revisado: 05-13-23
it's a long and meticulous account that examines each piece of evidence and testimony very closely, however the book will probably solidly convince you of the presence of a conspiracy within an hour of listening. the rest will make you an expert.

Historia
Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order. Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents.

Almost Sickening
Revisado: 05-06-23
I never knew the story of the Manson killings had so many unsolved mysteries. Tom O'Neill lays out all the inconsistencies and by the end you will have a lot of fundamental beliefs shaken. I have seen it mentioned negatively how many directions that CHAOS turns, but I think it's a very positive feature. By the end you'll have had a diverse education on the 1960's, a lot of hard questions, and maybe a sinister chill up your spine.

Historia
We face a dilemma these days. We want to be honest about our history and the racism and oppression that Americans have both inflicted and endured. But we want to be proud of our country, too. In The Nation That Never Was, Roosevelt shows how we can do both those things by realizing we’re not the country we thought we were. Reconstruction, Roosevelt argues, was not a fulfillment of the ideals of the Founding but rather a repudiation: we modern Americans are not the heirs of the Founders but of the people who overthrew and destroyed that political order.

Eye-opening
Revisado: 05-03-23
Roosevelt tells the story of America's founding and refounding with the thoroughness of his lawyer's profession. He discovers our nation's true principles through the text our founding documents and all of their consequences and concludes that the slaveholding perspectives are the most accurate to the text and intention. This portion of the book is so thoroughly argued that it drags a bit, but from there Roosevelt launches into a refreshing examination of the Civil War as Lincoln's Revolution, Reconstruction, the Fourteenth Amendment, and how to accomplish these advancements the Founder's constitution had to be broken and reformed, and the Declaration of Independence reinterpreted. I think what was most striking to me was thr realization that most of the legal precedence that we envision as representing the best in America are enshrined by the 14th Amendment and its revolution. That's an obvious enough conclusion before you read the book, but it is revelatory when given the legal and historical context.
I highly recommend the book as long as you can withstand the long legal discussion at it's heart.

Historia
At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy's change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence.

The story of JFK that should be told as the official history. JFK fought for Peace during his presidency and died for it. An example to all.

Historia
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Historia
The most recent state to join the union, Hawaii is the only one to have once been a royal kingdom. After its discovery by Captain Cook in the late 18th century, Hawaii was fought over by European powers determined to take advantage of its position as the crossroads of the Pacific. The arrival of the first missionaries marked the beginning of the struggle between a native culture with its ancient gods, sexual libertinism, and rites of human sacrifice and the rigid values of the Calvinists.
