Historia
Blackwater is one of the most misunderstood companies of our time. As Erik Prince, its founder and former CEO, writes: "Hundreds of American citizens employed by private military contractors, or PMCs, would lose their lives helping our government wage wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, only to have their memory tarnished by the unfair and/or ignorant depiction of PMCs as profiteers, jackbooted thugs, or worse."

Historia
1939. Ansel Luxford has everything a person could want—a comfortable career, a brilliant spouse, a beautiful new baby. But he is obsessed by a belief that Europe is on the precipice of a war that will grow to consume the world. The United States is officially proclaiming neutrality in any foreign conflict, but when Ansel is offered an opportunity to move to Washington, D.C., to join a clandestine project within the Treasury Department that is working to undermine Nazi Germany, he uproots his family overnight and takes on the challenge of a lifetime.

Excitement of a novel with the underpinnings and background of a history book
Revisado: 07-05-24
I liked everything about this exciting novel. It gives a real glimpse into life during World War II life in Washington DC, while transcending the complex economic war against the Nazis. Kudos for also taking a glimpse of the admittedly small, but still benevolent efforts to help the survivors of the holocaust. Another great work by Graham Moore.

Both are under anesthetic at the dentists when something strange happens - and their identities are swapped. Suddenly Joey can use his six-foot frame to get his own back on his Hollywood persecutors.

Hilarious old school British humor
Revisado: 02-02-24
Terribly funny old school British humor with plenty of diction eccentricity and malaprop. Of course the plot is ridiculous, but the reader really shouldn’t care. Just go with the patently absurd fun.

Evenhanded and sober documentation
Revisado: 01-10-24
Well researched, written and orated. Not a rah-rah entertaining read, but rather a compelling analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of revenge as a military and political tool to combat evil.

Funny history of a very funny movie
Revisado: 12-27-23
Too many comments from people unrelated to the production of Airplane . Would have been nice to hear more from those involved with Airplane, from studio staff all the way down to set hands.

Historia
If anyone could be considered a Russian counterpart to the infamous British double-agent Kim Philby, it was Oleg Gordievsky. The son of two KGB agents and the product of the best Soviet institutions, the savvy, sophisticated Gordievsky grew to see his nation's communism as both criminal and philistine. He took his first posting for Russian intelligence in 1968 and eventually became the Soviet Union's top man in London, but from 1973 on he was secretly working for MI6.

An amazing story of historical significance. Written and read in a typically understated manner that could have easily become overly and unnecessarily dramatic. Well done!

A riveting saga in the history of rock ‘n’ roll: the decades-long rivalry between the two men who innovated the electric guitar’s amplified sound - Leo Fender and Les Paul - and their intense competition to convince rock stars like the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton to play the instruments they built.

Historia
Before Bill Gross was known among investors as the Bond King, he was a gambler. In 1966, a fresh college grad, he went to Vegas armed with his net worth ($200) and a knack for counting cards. Ten thousand dollars and countless casino bans later, he was hooked, so he enrolled in business school. The Bond King is the story of how that whiz kid made American finance his casino.

Great opportunity missed. Badly written and even more poorly read
Revisado: 06-05-23
There was a great opportunity missed as the Gross/PIMCO story was a historic chapter in American business. The writer is awful and her reading on her own work is even more miserable. This was a painful listen.

Historia
A chain of events that will change the lives of each and every character will leave some of them wiser, some of them deader, and some of them definitely looking for a new line of work. With a wicked wit, razor-sharp observations, rich characters, and a plot with more twists than the Inland Waterway, Dave Barry makes his debut a complete and utter triumph.

Over the course of two weeks, everything in Beartown will change. Two years have passed since the events that no one wants to think about. Everyone has tried to move on, but there’s something about this place that prevents it. The destruction caused by a ferocious late-summer storm reignites the old rivalry between Beartown and the neighboring town of Hed, a rivalry which has always been fought through their ice hockey teams. Maya Andersson and Benji Ovich, two young people who left in search of a better life, come home and joyfully reunite with their closest childhood friends.

Another Great Backman Novel
Revisado: 02-26-23
Another great Swedish story by Blackman. Unfortunately the translation plays down much of the Swedish aspects of the book whic, as an American, I find fascinating. The story is complex and beautifully woven, albeit very complex. It s also very long and sometimes it’s difficult to keep all the characters straight. Intense, but enjoyable.
