More of an opinion piece

Revisado: 10-25-24

This is written by someone who must be able to contact the dead.. They routinely tell you what people were thinking at the time of battles or choices even if there is no or very limited documentation on the issue. This is also a person who clearly thinks history is less important than showing imperialism is bad. I was honestly flabbergasted a few times with what this author was claiming.. If you want a real good book on the subject check out Adrian Goldsworthy or the book masters of command. Both are mentioned by the author but it seems like he has not read them.

Also the narration sounds like straight AI or robot reading.

Narration killed it for me.

Revisado: 12-18-23

The narration of this book sounds about as close as it could be to being read by AI without it being read by AI. Overall The book is good and the experience is captured are very important, but instead I would recommend Uncommon Valor. It is a better written book and has drastically better narration. I cannot express how much the narration of this book killed it for me.

I would not recommend this...

Revisado: 12-07-23

I came because of the promise of an interview with White Death. However, out of this entire book there is maybe an hour to 90 min of that. the rest of the book is a very cursiary overview of the war and his service in it. It does go into after the war but honestly most of the answers you would want answers to don't get answered. On top of that there is a lot of filler like 20 min on how to aim and another 20 on pulling the trigger. Overall you would be better off reading other books on him or even the Winter War book.

Point of view

Revisado: 06-01-23

The first half of this book is oddly, how Cicero interacted with the Roman republic more than a book about the Roman Republic or history of it. The second half of the book about the Roman empire is much better and less centric.

if you're interested in the history of the Roman Empire or Roman Republic. I would suggest Adrian goldsworthy and his many books.

There are better books on the topic

Revisado: 05-17-23

The author does an okay job but has obvious errors in her history. You can tell that most of the errors are from being unfamiliar with the topic at that point. However, that makes you question more of what she covers. The experts covered in this book also have their own book, you would be better served reading those. When the author is reading she has a lot of issues with pronunciation. This is with English words and other language words. All and all it's not bad but I would recommend other books like " Hunting the Jackal" and "Grey Man".

very short.

Revisado: 11-24-21

The narration was very good, however the book was overall very short without hardly any details. The entire book is like 2 hours long and that's 2 hours you don't learn anything. there's zero development of anybody including the main protagonist. This is definitely a book I would pass by.

An excellent unbiased book.

Revisado: 04-28-21

If you are looking for an unbiased book about the crusades this is the one for you with strong research and perspectives from both sides. Derek Perkins yet again shines as one of the best narrators of the day, a joy to listen too.

An exhilarating story!

Revisado: 03-27-21

A truly amazing story about American exceptionalism! The technological achievements discussed in this book going all the way back to the 1950s is absolutely mind-boggling. I truly enjoyed this story and finding out more about my own county. The performance by the narrator was exceptional! would highly recommend!
