Annoying narrator and specious arguments make for a spurious conclusion.

Revisado: 07-18-24

The narrator channels an Elizabethan actor and over dramatizes every passage. The story, although chock full of interesting facts ( or impressions) draws an interesting picture of the post WWII US government, assuming the author is submitting facts. But the book goes off the rails when he tries to construct a solid case against the CIA, FBI, President Johnson, and various titans of industry as the actual killers of JFK. He is right in his belief that the Warren report was deeply flawed, and that there was most probably a conspiracy behind the Kennedy assassination. However, his theory of who was behind the plot has no substance and impugns many Americans without any evidence.

Riveting story of Kennedy men and their abuse of women

Revisado: 07-08-24

Excellent detail which adds the detail to what we heard was true but was always refuted by the Kennedy sycophants. The details really show what this family is like and how they always rally around family members whether they are murderers misogynists or just cruel to those who love them

Very good review of those leaders picked to report on

Revisado: 05-15-24

very succinct and hit some very interesting high points and low points for each. But as the last chapter demonstrated there were several other war time leaders (Lincoln do instance) who were not listed. I might have dropped Hitler from the list since he made more unforgivable mistakes than he made correct choices, and discussed several more leaders in just a bit more depth. That said. It was a succinct and cogent précis of many of the Great War leaders and their strengths.

Outstanding detail but just a bit too much of it

Revisado: 03-20-24

Very interesting detail of the relationships between the four men. But this book could have been shortened by half and still have conveyed that detail and all the important facts

Vast history covered

Revisado: 01-27-24

Very good sketch of a vast history. But almost too much to be able to take in

Anyone religious will have a problem with this book

Revisado: 01-07-24

The author advertised this book as a look at how Homo sapiens will progress in the decades and millennia to come but he spent all his time bashing a one who believes in a God and gave little else to think about.
