Great subject matter presented without distracting digressions all related to a historical event that I had been aware of never understood the details of. A wonderful survey of nuclear submarine disasters!

Most interesting story about someone of whom I knew nothing
Revisado: 09-08-21
If you are a fan of "catch me if you can" or "the Sting" you will very much enjoy this presentation of a man whose life of deveption may well have inspired the protagonists in these other works. The presentation is enjoyable. Whatever the equivalent is of "not putting a book down" this is the story that achieves that level of maintenance of rapt attention.

Every year has its share of notable events, but some years seem to capture the essence of a decade in a handful of months. The year 1954 is one such year. It began in January with a celebrity marriage heard round the world and then progressed through a series of major political, social, and cultural milestones that would echo through the next several decades. The years following World War II were a time of increased wealth and confidence, years that saw the rise of a solid, increasingly powerful middle class in America.

The pleasure of non-manufactured history
Revisado: 09-04-21
While it is true that the maturing media played a not insignificant role in shaping and filtering some of the events of 1954, one has a sense that the authenticity of the events far exceeds the media driven agenda of the 24/7 news cycle platforms today. And for that this listening experience was most refreshing.
The story is beautifully narrated and captivating Delivered.
