Don't buy "book track edition"

Revisado: 10-18-22

This was a very good book but do not buy the book track edition. The background music that supposedly makes it more like a movie is irritating, interfering, and simply unnecessary. by the end of the first chapter I had had enough and was almost going to send the book back and get a non book track edition.

Apollo 8 - NASA shines!

Revisado: 06-17-22

this book reveals the detail and intensity of a mission like this that goes completely unnoticed when one is an observer to the mission from Earth and from a television set. I was alive and in high school when this occurred and much of what happened was obviously unseen with the detailed issues that arose never truly arising on the television broadcast. Like many professions, the astronauts endured unbelievable training that provided them with the skills to navigate an unbelievable mission. This is one of those books that goes by quickly and even though you know the result, you are literally on the edge of your seat when you hear some of the problems that arose. As one of the other reviewers stated, this is one of those books that could easily be read again and enjoyed a second time.

War Writing's Finest Hour

Revisado: 02-16-21

This series about the Pacific War is the finest combination of writing about strategic and personal stories that I have ever read . . . and I read almost exclusively about the history of war and its leading historic figures. The cast expanse of this trilogy is breathtaking but it reads smoothly and efficiently. I learned so many new details about all of the battles that it is almost like I had never read anything previously about the Pacific War.

The Reader Ruined It

Revisado: 01-10-21

it is rare that I do not finish an Audible book. However, this reader was so unprofessional because of his monotonous style that I just stopped. Most readers could have given a better performance than he did.

Wow!

Revisado: 03-29-19

this was a stunningly well written and direct history of the Vietnam war and Americas involvement in it. it brings a sense of truth furnace to the table that is not been seen previously, even in Pryor histories. it is not apologetic and it is not pretty. the author has a style of writing that is his and his alone and one that is very easy to listen to. my only criticism of this presentation is the pronunciation of some of the words buy the reader. Even though he is a British reader, there are some words that are pronounced in a way that I don't think anybody in great Britain would ever consider. You would have to listen to the book to understand what I mean. Nevertheless, the and products of all of this is a masterpiece worth listening to.

review

Revisado: 10-12-17

the major problem with this book is that the English is intermittently translated to German and it becomes extremely annoying and totally unnecessary for an English-speaking reader / listener. It was so irritating that I decided to do something that I rarely do which is never finished the book.
