Title: Against Our Better Judgment

Subtitle: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Was Used to Create Israel

Author: Alison Weir

Narrator: Daniel McGowan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-23-15

Publisher: Audible

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 74 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

Soon after WWII, U.S. statesman Dean Acheson warned that creating Israel on land already inhabited by Palestinians would "imperil" both American and all Western interests in the region. Despite warnings such as this one, President Truman supported establishing a Jewish state on land primarily inhabited by Muslims and Christians.

Few Americans today are aware that U.S. support enabled the creation of modern Israel. Even fewer know that U.S. politicians pushed this policy over the forceful objections of top diplomatic and military experts.

As this work demonstrates, these politicians were bombarded by a massive pro-Israel lobbying effort that ranged from well-funded and very public Zionist organizations to an "elitist secret society" whose members included Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis.

Against Our Better Judgment brings together meticulously sourced evidence to illuminate a reality that differs starkly from the prevailing narrative. It provides a clear view of the history that is key to understanding one of the most critically important political issues of our day.

Members Reviews:

Good content, bad audio

The book was very interesting, when I could hear it well enough. Unfortunately I had to crank my speaker volume to nervously high levels in order to make out most of the narrator's words, due to the low decibel, unclear audio of the recording.

Good history. Bad audio.

History worth knowing, but the audio was bad. If it was a longer book I probably would've gave up on it.

Crazy unbelievable

How does one react to the statement "what you think is white is really black" when it is unarguably referenced, seemingly meticulously put forth?

I don't know yet.

Exceptionally imortant history

This is an exceptionally important book - well-researched & thoroughly documented. It brings to light critical information which has heretofore been covered up, and which levels the playing field, in that despite these coverups, we can now understand what many Palestinians have known for decades: the full history of the creation of Israel, and the injustice with which the U.S. and Britain colluded. And we can understand better the roots of the conflict - which is essential not only for justice, but also for the security of Jews both in Israel and throughout the world.

Wow!

Zionism has done serious damage to the larger part of the Jewish community, it is has engendered behaviors by the top leaders of that movement that correspond to some very ugly historical anti-semitic tropes.

They are making it easy for the conspiracy tin hat crowd and the racist white nationalist all over the western world to say, "See, we were right about the Jews".

I really feel sorry for the regular Jewish people here in America that are being emotionally blackmailed into supporting this thuggish regime. Fortunately in the annals of history the truth will not be suppressed

but it will not be pretty when everyone will be forced to lay the duplicity out on the table for all to see.

The colonist in America were cruel to the natives of the land here as well as to our own population of African Americans.

Title: The Monopolists

Subtitle: Obsession, Fury, and the Scandal Behind the World's Favorite Board Game

Author: Mary Pilon

Narrator: Chris Sorensen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-25-15

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 43 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

The Monopolists reveals the unknown story of how Monopoly came into existence, the reinvention of its history by Parker Brothers and multiple media outlets, the lost female originator of the game, and one man's lifelong obsession to tell the true story about the game's questionable origins.

Most think it was invented by an unemployed Pennsylvanian who sold his game to Parker Brothers during the Great Depression in 1935 and lived happily - and richly - ever after. That story, however, is not exactly true. Ralph Anspach, a professor fighting to sell his Anti-Monopoly board game decades later, unearthed the real story, which traces back to Abraham Lincoln, the Quakers, and a forgotten feminist named Lizzie Magie who invented her nearly identical Landlord's Game more than 30 years before Parker Brothers sold their version of Monopoly. Her game - underpinned by morals that were the exact opposite of what Monopoly represents today - was embraced by a constellation of left-wingers from the Progressive Era through the Great Depression, including members of Franklin Roosevelt's famed Brain Trust.

A fascinating social history of corporate greed that illuminates the cutthroat nature of American business over the last century, The Monopolists reads like the best detective fiction, told through Monopoly's real-life winners and losers.

Critic Reviews:

"Pilon invests this surprisingly contentious chronicle with a dynamic mix of journalistic knowledge and subtle wit... A fascinating, appealingly written history of an iconic American amusement." (Kirkus Reviews)

Members Reviews:

Interesting and fun (but BADLY read)

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would probably recommend the book instead of the audiobook. Loved the story but the narrator really made it difficult to listen to.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Monopolists?

I loved the story of Lizzie McGee and her major contribution to the board game market. She was far ahead of her time--fascinating, smart and interesting. I would have loved to have met her.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Chris Sorensen?

Sean Runnette would have been fantastic--he is my favorite. There are many others, too, who would have done a better job.

Sorensen sounds like a robot--he elongates the last word of every sentence.

I have listened to hundreds of audiobooks, and I only listen to nonfiction. I don't want the reader to be dramatic or "act out" the story, but a narrator who gives some character to the story via his or her delivery makes a difference.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Maybe, but to read not listen.

Any additional comments?

This really is an interesting story of a beloved board game and its place in history. I was very surprised at how interesting it was, and how much drama surrounded the game in its early days.

Newcaster Type Narration of a Fascinating Story

I have spent countless hours playing the game of Monopoly with my children, family and friends and never really knew the story behind the game.

Title: Where the Iron Crosses Grow

Subtitle: The Crimea 1941-44

Author: Robert Forczyk

Narrator: Michael Prichard

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-21-15

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 106 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

The Crimea was one of the crucibles of the war on the Eastern Front, where first a Soviet and then a German army were surrounded, fought desperate battles, and were eventually destroyed. The fighting in the region was unusual for the Eastern Front in many ways, in that naval supply, amphibious landings, and naval evacuation played major roles, while both sides were also conducting ethnic cleansing as part of their strategy - the Germans eliminating the Jews and the Soviets purging the region of Tartars.

From 1941, when the Soviets first created the Sevastopol fortified region, the Crimea was a focal point of the war in the East. German forces under the noted commander Manstein conquered the area in 1941-42, which was followed by two years of brutal colonization and occupation before the Soviet counteroffensive in 1944 destroyed the German 17th Army.

Members Reviews:

Good but wordy

The story and the region are great. What should be left out was the spelling out of each and every title, caliber of gun, and affiliation to platoon, company, regiment, or battalion. A nice map as well.

names, places,troop strength and commanders

This book is for the hardcore military historian who enjoys reading the statistics of a military campaign. It start with interesting overview of the regions history with an enticing nod to what happening there today, but quickly, or too quickly for me, became a monotonous compilation of what battalion was where, how many and what kind of weaponry they had and who commanded them. Mr Pritchard did a fine job in my opinion, but given the material I had to give up on this one.

Superb History

Sure h a great and informative piece of work, I found many facts that I had not previously known, and the narrator kept me engaged in the story throughout, highly recommended.

Might be a good book...

Hard to tell, because of the ridiculously horrid narrator. Absolutely pitiful. Painful to listen to. Gonna try to read the book. Don't buy this audiobook.

Too dull don't recommend

This sounded like a text book. There was almost no sense of the people or there ordeals. Just too dull

Title: Thirteen

Subtitle: The Apollo Flight That Failed

Author: Henry Cooper

Narrator: J. Paul Guimont

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-26-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 840 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

On the evening of April 13, 1970, the three astronauts aboard Apollo 13 were just hours from the third lunar landing in history. But as they soared through space, two hundred thousand miles from earth, an explosion badly damaged their spacecraft. With compromised engines and failing life-support systems, the crew was in incomparably grave danger. Faced with below-freezing temperatures, a seriously ill crew member, and a dwindling water supply, a safe return seemed unlikely.

Thirteen is the shocking, miraculous, and entirely true story of how the astronauts and ground crew guided Apollo 13 to a safe landing on earth. Expanding on dispatches written for the New Yorker, Henry S. F. Cooper Jr. brings listeners unparalleled detail on the moment-by-moment developments of one of NASA's most dramatic missions.

Members Reviews:

Very technical

This is, quite literally, a detailed description of the events that happened between liftoff and splashdown. It's not a story about how the astronauts prepared, how they felt during the flight, or things NASA improved upon afterwards. That's something I happen to like in a book, but not all will.

The author has an odd obsession with comparing space events to boating terms and procedures.

Good level of detail

A good telling of the story, quite detailed but stops abruptly. Could have done with a chapter on the post mission actions. Given it was written in 1972 this may not have actually been possible.

Succinct and compelling

Any additional comments?

In his focus on the Houston ground team as well as the three Apollo astronauts in their broken space ship, Cooper builds a steady drum beat of drama steeped in engineering rigor. This really happened. Cooper's dive into it began immediately after the event. He was a staff writer for "The New Yorker" magazine which turned over a whole issue to this story in 1972. So it was originally a very very long magazine piece. Audible prepared this recording in 2014. J. Paul Guimont reflects the solid integrity of the men -- it was all men -- and the determined, icy nail-biting push to bring the astronauts home. He understands the rhythm of the book.

It is hard to listen in modern times without recalling Ron Howard's "Apollo 13". I was surprised how much of Cooper's story made a way to the script. But the movie brought in the lead-up and the families, and had to condense and shift and dramatize, and it also had James Lovell's own story to fill in and correct some events. But in the 20 years between Cooper and Lovell there was no other authority for the story of "Apollo 13."

Henry S.F. Cooper's ancestor was James Fennimore. Cooperstown, the baseball hall-of-fame place, is not coincidentally named. It isn't relevant but perhaps there is some authority and weight Cooper brings to the story. I felt in good hands.

I enjoyed the book and the details provided

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I really enjoyed the book because it provided details that I didn't know about. Specifically about the reason the oxygen container malfunctioned and why it took them so long on re-entry.

Members Reviews:

The Story of the Fall of Sega

Let me preface everything I'm about to say with a quick tl;dr: If you are a Sega fan and are looking for an interesting history of just how Sega fell so quickly look no further.

Now that that's out of the way let me expand on that thought. This book is an interesting listen, but not an engrossing one. All the time I was listening I couldn't help but compare it to "Console Wars" by Blake Freeman, and often times I felt like this book came up lacking, but then I thought on it for a moment and I came to the real heart of the issue. Console Wars entertains first and informs second while Service Games does just the opposite. If you want a story that dramatizes the rise of Sega by elevating the team responsible to the height of heroes of the industry and does so expertly this is not the book for you, Console Wars is. This book reads like an essay written for a college level business class not a novel.

That last sentence there really describes all of the problems I found with the book perfectly. While I was consistently presented with new factoids about Sega's fall I was rarely entertained by them. The best example of this comes with the amount of time spent discussing the CPUs of all of the consoles. Not a single evolution in the technology is even remotely glossed over, which while very interesting at an academic level, left me thinking get on with it more often than not.

This only leaves one real complaint unsaid: the focus given on Sega's fall versus its rise. The title may lead you to believe this is the complete history of that company we all love and hate, but really it isn't. The first few decades of Sega's history are so sparsely covered when compared to how much time is given to its mistakes it isn't even funny. I know for many the failings of Sega are more interesting than its beginnings but I was left wanting.

Summary time for the time strapped: This book tells the story of Sega's fall in a dry yet interesting matter that glosses over two of the most engrossing aspects of the company: its humble beginnings and the very human story behind the scenes.

Pure Greatness

Wow very detailed in the complete history of Sega from beginning to now.

Title: GI Brides

Subtitle: The Wartime Girls Who Crossed the Atlantic for Love

Author: Duncan Barrett, Nuala Calvi

Narrator: Tania Rodrigues

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-02-14

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 63 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

For listeners enchanted by the best sellers The Astronaut Wives Club, The Girls of Atomic City, and Summer at Tiffany's, an absorbing tale of romance and resilience - the true story of four British women who crossed the Atlantic for love, coming to America at the end of World War II to make a new life with the American servicemen they married.

The "friendly invasion" of Britain by over a million American G.I.s bewitched a generation of young women deprived of male company during the Second World War. With their exotic accents, smart uniforms, and aura of Hollywood glamour, the G.I.s easily conquered their hearts, leaving British boys fighting abroad green with envy. But for girls like Sylvia, Margaret, Gwendolyn, and even the skeptical Rae, American soldiers offered something even more tantalizing than chocolate, chewing gum, and nylon stockings: An escape route from Blitz-ravaged Britain, an opportunity for a new life in affluent, modern America.

Through the stories of these four women, G.I. Brides illuminates the experiences of war brides who found themselves in a foreign culture thousands of miles away from family and friends, with men they hardly knew. Some struggled with the isolation of life in rural America, or found their soldier less than heroic in civilian life. But most persevered, determined to turn their wartime romance into a lifelong love affair, and prove to those back home that a Hollywood ending of their own was possible.

Members Reviews:

A terrific case study

I loved this book, it provided an interesting look at the lives and loves, the joys and sorrows of war brides just after WWII.

It is not a happy book in many ways, but the culture differences from England to the US, strained, broken, and repaired relationships with husbands and in-laws... I read this book months ago, and it still haunts me. I'll read it again and recommend it to anyone I know who enjoys such things.

Wonderful true stories of very brave women

Fascinating true stories of young war brides, especially for anyone interested in the WWII era. The narrator has a lovely British accent that is pleasant to listen to EXCEPT when she is trying to disguise it as American or Italian. She constantly gets it wrong, and it is somewhat distracting. She sounds a bit like a woman from Brooklyn when she is reading the part of a woman from California, and completely muddles the accent of an Italian-immigrant-mother-in-law. When she is speaking for American male soldiers, she sounds flat, crass and as though she is stereotypically "mocking Americans." She is borderline offensive in that she did not research it further, or at the very least work with a dialect coach. If you can't or won't get it right, then please just read the script with your own tongue.

GI Brides

I just love WWII history! There is such an amalgamation of beauty and romance, horror and desolation that I seem to be transfixed with these stories no matter what angle they take. In GI Brides we get another interesting angle (and one I haven't read yet): that of the English women who fell in love with the American men that flooded their shores and that left behind everything to follow these men to a country they knew so little about.

Members Reviews:

Superb Catton classic.

Great narration of the intimate and authentic journey of the last year of the Army of the Potomac.

Civil War brought to life

Never before, in my experience, has a narrative so fully captured the experience of the war between the states. This is a book to lend to your children.

This makes history come to life

The narration is fabulous. The research that has gone into this book is impressive. It has left me with a profound respect for men who gave their all for the freedoms I enjoy.

Perfect

Truly a masterpiece. I have read or listened to a dozen civil war books and this may have been the best. It held my interest beyond my expectations.

Poetry

a beautifully written and poetic approach to a terrible time, amazing!

Title: Anatomy of a Trial

Subtitle: Public Loss, Lessons Learned from The People vs. O.J. Simpson

Author: Jerrianne Hayslett

Narrator: Sheila Book

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-15-14

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 25 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

As the Los Angeles Superior Court's media liaison, Jerrianne Hayslett had unprecedented access to the trial - and met with Judge Lance Ito daily - as she attempted, sometimes unsuccessfully, to mediate between the court and members of the media and to balance their interests. In Anatomy of a Trial, she takes listeners behind the scenes to shed new light on people and proceedings and to show how the media and the trial participants changed the court-media landscape to the detriment of the public's understanding of the judicial system.

For those who think they've already read all there is to know about the Simpson trial, this audiobook is an eye-opener. Hayslett kept a detailed journal during the proceedings, in which she recorded anecdotes and commentary. She also shares previously undisclosed information to expose some of the myths and stereotypes perpetuated by the trial, while affirming other stories that emerged during that time. By examining this trial after more than a decade, she shows how it has produced a bunker mentality in the judicial system, shaping media and public access to courts with lasting impact on such factors as cameras in the courtroom, jury selection, admonishments from the bench, and fair-trial/free-press tensions.

The first account of the trial written with Judge Ito's cooperation, Anatomy of a Trial is a pause-registering narrative. It also includes perspectives of legal and journalism authorities and offers a blueprint for how the courts and media can better meet their responsibilities to the public. Even today, judges, lawyers, and journalists across the country say the Simpson trial changed everything. This audiobook finally tells us why.

Critic Reviews:

"Los Angeles Superior Court media adviser Hayslett explores the ramifications of the much publicized 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial ... insight that comes from her insider status is valuable and may leave readers wishing for her backstage access from the latest chapter in Simpsons ongoing legal battles." (

Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Very informative, a good listen for sure.

Would you consider the audio edition of Anatomy of a Trial to be better than the print version?

I would. As I do enjoy reading, I can't always find time to sit down and actually read. This is why i enjoyed this book so much. I would listen to it in the car, on my lunch break, and while preparing dinner. It was very convenient.

What about Sheila Books performance did you like?

This book had a lot of interesting facts but with the wrong person narrating, it can become mundane. Sheila kept me enthralled the whole time. She has the right voice to bring this story alive.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I didn't have an extreme reaction but i found it to be full of trial information that i had never heard. I have always been very interested in the Simpson murder trial. How the media involvement impacted this trial is profound. This book is full of detail and a lot of unknown facts.

Good stuff!

Where does Anatomy of a Trial rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

It's the first book I've listened to and I loved the experience.

What did you like best about this story?

It was so informative, and easy to listen to.

Título: Breve historia de la Primera Guerra Mundial

Autor: Álvaro Lozano

Narrador: David Espunya

Formato: Unabridged

Duración: 9 hrs and 18 mins

Idioma: Español

Fecha de publicación: 08-11-14

Editor: Audible Studios

Calificaciones: 4.5 de 5 de 20 votos

Categorías: History, 20th Century

Resumen del editor:

Una nueva visión de la guerra que asoló el mundo en los albores del S. XX basada en una combinación de historia bélica e historia humana. La mayoría de los libros que tratan el tema de la Primera Guerra Mundial, lo hacen incidiendo en los avatares bélicos de la llamada Gran Guerra, una contienda de la que se dijo que acabaría con todas las guerras. La novedad de este audio libro que nos trae Álvaro Lozano es que presenta la guerra desde una perspectiva total, remontándose a los factores previos a 1914 que facilitaron el enfrentamiento, y llegando a los cambios en las estructuras políticas y económicas que resultaron de la Primera Guerra Mundial y que fueron determinantes a lo largo de todo el S. XX e incluso en el naciente S. XXI.

Breve Historia de la Primera Guerra Mundial es un audio libro imprescindible porque al abordar una óptica total de la guerra, nos permite ver el flujo de ideas que se esconde detrás de la contienda, la confrontación entre unas formas de gobierno obsoletas y unas masas, que hasta entonces habían permanecido pasivas, que demandaban una política más popular, una democracia más efectiva. Además de la confrontación de ideas, Álvaro Lozano nos recrea la vida en las trincheras, los distintos sistemas de abastecimiento de los ejércitos e incluso los motines que se produjeron en el seno de cada uno.

Todas las novedades, en suma, que se dieron en una guerra en la que, por vez primera, los flujos productivos y los avances tecnológicos que resultaron de la Revolución Industrial se ponen al servicio de la masacre de hombres y de la destrucción de infraestructuras.Un libro que ayudará a comprender, a cualquier oyente que se acerque a él, por qué una Europa que estaba en pleno progreso moral y material se enfrascó en una guerra en la que acabó arrastrando a la mayoría de las naciones y que produjo una transformación radical del panorama político, artístico, económico y existencial.

Please Note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Title: Who Really Killed Kennedy?

Subtitle: 50 Years Later: Stunning New Revelations about the JFK Assassination

Author: Jerome R. Corsi

Narrator: David Rapkin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-11-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 104 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

Almost nothing gives rise to more national intrigue than the murder of an American president. And on November 22, 2013, the nation will experience the fiftieth anniversary of one of the most traumatic events in modern American history, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

From day one, the truth behind JFK's assassination has been mired in controversy and dispute. The Warren Commission, established just seven days after Kennedy's death, delved into the who, what, when, and where of the tragedy, and over the course of the following year compiled an 889-page report that arrived at the now widely contested conclusion: Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin.

In Who Really Killed Kennedy?, No. 1New York Times bestselling author Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D., provides listeners with the ultimate JFK assassination theory book. One-by-one, each chapter will examine the strongest arguments regarding the killing of JFK, including theories surrounding the mob, the CIA, Cuban radicals, LBJ, right-wing extremists and more.

By the audiobook's end, Who Really Killed Kennedy? will provide convincing analysis that existing evidence rules out the possibility that JFK was killed by a lone assassin. Fifty years after this epic American tragedy, there's still a gunman on the loose.

Members Reviews:

Illuminates Questions without Concrete Answers

This book, while interesting and well-executed, frustratingly highlights the majority of the well known discrepancies in the JFK assassination, without out drawing any competent conclusions. The author seems to be locked in on some of the absurdities of the Warren Commission's report, and simply uses the report's short comings as circumstantial evidence for Oswald's alleged innocence, yet does not really validate his own assumptions with anything evidence of significant solidity.

I would venture to say that this book does little more than point out that the Warren Commission's findings would never have held up in a legitimate court of law - which is an issue that has been discussed nearly to the point of nausea, and fully accepted in many circles. However, if pointing out the flaws of the Warren Commission's report was the only intention of this book, then I would admit that it does so fairly succinctly, in a way that is thorough and comprehensible to the reader. Although, my opinion is that it relies too heavily on sensationalism and possibly over-dramatizes many elements of case.

Very compelling with historical recap on JFK

Not one minute of lost attention, every sentence packed with logic, drama, and facts. great book.

this was another great book by Corsi

So much information contained in this book. I will be following up on this story for months to come.

Mesmerizing

Fascinating for someone who remembers the times and characters.

JFK murder was probably a watershed moment. We should ponder these events in the light of today and the threat of a Trump takeover.

Where is the CIA when we need them?
