Publisher's summary

“Each war entails the destruction of the human soul.” (Henry Miller).

Humanity should not lose its memory, even if some may try to conceal it.

From the hindsight afforded by the passing of 75 years from the events narrated, with freedom of thought and a totally independent standpoint, Pacific Media have undertaken an arduous research which has resulted in the series: The Finest Hours of WWII. From the atrocious moment in which Hitler ordered the invasion of Polish territory to the day in which Emperor Hirohito “had to accept the unacceptable”, all is encompassed in this audiobook over its 21 programs.

Is this a human voice?

There are so many mispronounced words that I began to suspect that they used a computer generated voice. That and the overdone music and sound effects made this my least favorite Audible “book”.

Narrator Had Problems!

It was a shame that the narrator mispronounced many of the names and locations.
