Title: The West Virginia Coal Wars

Publisher's Summary:

America is famous around the world for being the land of opportunity, and in many respects it has been for the nearly 400 years since its colonization. However, that opportunity has always come at some sort of price. In the times of wooden sailing vessels, men and women risked life and limb to sail across the Atlantic on small, creaking ships, but later, transportation became safer and easier with the invention of the coal powered steam engine. Over time, coal came to be used to power other advances in industry and technology, such as plants that produced steel and electricity. By the dawn of the 20th century, it seemed that there was nothing that the country could not accomplish, and that the future was brighter than ever. But then, as always, there was the price. The vast majority of people burning coal to heat their farms and homes, and those watching skyscrapers rise over the city's landscape, likely never stopped to think about the price thousands of miners across the country were paying for these and other conveniences. Many never knew that coal had to be dug from the ground, typically in dark mines where dust poisoned miners' lungs, and that these men barely made enough to feed and clothe their families despite their hard days of toil. The people using the coal wanted it to be cheap, the miners wanted to earn enough money to survive, and the companies wanted to turn a profit. In some ways, it seems safe to say that conflict was inevitable, but while there were numerous labor disputes during the early decades of the 20th century, few were as violent as the one that erupted in the hills of West Virginia in 1912.

Disappointed

I rarely return an Audio book, this one however, is the exception. The narrator would be better suited reading a British novel. His accent made me completely unable to focus on the book. I apologise if I sound biggotted, I'm sure this gentleman has lots of great reviews... but for me, in this context, it just didn't work.

Title: The Stonewall Riots

Subtitle: The History and Legacy of the Protests That Helped Spark the Modern Gay Rights Movement

Author: Charles River Editors

Narrator: Dan Gallagher

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-15-17

Publisher: Charles River Editors

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

In 1969, America was still undergoing plenty of social turmoil, much of it the result of sweeping changes made via the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War, which helped spark the counterculture. Protests were prominent across the country, and one of the movements galvanized during this time was on behalf of the LGBT community, who were often subjected to discrimination in all facets of life. However, LGBT rights were naturally on the back burner for most Americans at the time, and it's safe to say few considered them until hearing about the Stonewall riots that took place at the end of June 1969 in New York City.

Given the discrimination, gay people tried to meet in secret gay bars, and it was common for police to try to bust up such gatherings, but on the night of June 28, the patrons at the Stonewall Inn had enough. As the police tried to line everybody in the bar up and identify them, the crowd hanging around the place began to swell, and tensions began to rise as there were increasing calls to challenge the propriety of the police action. As people sang "We Shall Overcome" and there were chants of "Gay Power," a scuffle eventually broke out, and the police resorted to anti-riot tactics to break up the crowd, injuring an untold number with bats and other objects. The next day, there were further riots, and in the coming days, as news of what happened spread, a gay rights movement began to sprout, consisting of more peaceful protest and pickets.

Eventually, the Stonewall riots became a rallying cry across the country for gay rights, and gay rights groups popped up in every state. There would be gay pride marches on the anniversary of the Stonewall riots to commemorate the event, and gay rights entered the mainstream and truly became part of the national debate. As historian Lillian Faderman put it, "The Stonewall Rebellion was crucial because it sounded the rally for that movement. It became an emblem of gay and lesbian power. By calling on the dramatic tactic of violent protest that was being used by other oppressed groups, the events at the Stonewall implied that homosexuals had as much reason to be disaffected as they."

Members Reviews:

Brief and concise history of the gay and lesbian movement in the United States

I like this book about the Stonewall riots because it gives the history of the gay and lesbian community in the United States. I did not realize that the Mafia controlled the gay bars in New York City and overcharged the gay community for their services. The authors of the book indicated that the Stonewall bar catered to a segment of the gay community that were not welcome in other homosexual social gatherings. The Stonewall clientele included "Queens", young homosexuals and the young gays that tended to be too poor or two new to the community to fit into the other gay social gatherings. I knew that being openly gay in the past could potentially destroy the individuals future job opportunities but the book explained this fact in greater detail. Also one will find the history of the various gay and lesbian organizations starting with the Mattachine Society through the Gay Liberation Front to the Gay Activists Alliance.

Resumen del editor:

La fenomenal historia de mujeres matemáticas afroamericanas de la NASA en la vanguardia del movimiento feminista y de derechos civiles, cuyos cálculos impulsaron uno de los mayores logros espaciales de Estados Unidos. Pronto será una gran película protagonizada por Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monae, Kirsten Dunst, y Kevin Costner.Antes de que John Glenn girara en órbita alrededor de la Tierra, o Neil Armstrong caminara en la luna, un grupo de mujeres profesionales en el área de las matemáticas conocidas como computadoras humanas usaron lápices, reglas de cálculo, máquinas de sumar para escribir las ecuaciones base para el lanzamiento de cohetes y astronautas al espacio.Entre ellas se encuentran un grupo de mujeres afroamericanas excepcionalmente talentosas, algunas de las mentes más brillantes de su generación. Originalmente relegadas a enseñar matemáticas en escuelas públicas segregadas del sur, fueron llamadas a servir durante la escasez laboral de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando la industria aeronáutica de Estados Unidos se encontraba en extrema necesidad de alguien con conocimientos. Repentinamente, estas profesionales tenían acceso a un empleo digno de sus habilidades y respondieron al llamado del Tío Sam, se mudaron a Hampton, Virginia, y al fascinante mundo del Laboratorio Aeronáutico Langley Memorial.A pesar de que las leyes Jim Crow de Virginia les obligaba a estar separadas de sus homólogos blancos, el grupo de mujeres afroamericanas Computadoras del oeste ayudó a Estados Unidos a alcanzar una de las metas más deseadas: una victoria decisiva sobre la Unión Soviética durante la Guerra Fría, y el dominio completo de los cielos. Iniciando en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y hasta la Guerra Fría, el Movimiento de los derechos civiles y la carrera espacial, Figuras ocultas entrelaza las historias de Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson y Christine Darden, cuatro mujeres afroamericanas que participaron en algunos de los mayores éxitos de la NASA. Es la crónica de sus carreras a lo largo de casi tres décadas en las que enfrentaron desafíos, alianzas y utilizaron su intelecto para cambiar sus vidas y el futuro de su país.

Earlier awareness could have changed the world

This is an absolutely marvelous chunk of history, and it's extremely well told. I personally think that if the work of these women had been common knowledge and celebrated decades ago, we might not be dealing with such virulent white supremacy today.

Este es un pedazo de historia absolutamente maravilloso, y es muy bien contado.

Title: On Wave and Wing

Subtitle: The 100 Year Quest to Perfect the Aircraft Carrier

Author: Barrett Tillman

Narrator: Peter Berkrot

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-27-17

Publisher: Blackstone Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

What defended the US after the attack on Pearl Harbor, defeated the Soviet Union in the Cold War, and is an essential tool in the fight against terror? Aircraft carriers.

For 70 years, these ships remained a little-understood cornerstone of American power. In his latest book, On Wave and Wing, Barrett Tillman sheds light on the history of these floating leviathans and offers a nuanced analysis of the largest man-made vessel in the history of the world.

Members Reviews:

100th Anniversary of the Aircraft Carrier

This book provides an overview of the history of the aircraft carrier. The first plane to launch from a ship was in 1910. The first carrier was launched one hundred years ago in 1917. Tillman proceeds to tell us about the changes to the carrier that have occurred over the past one hundred years. This is a good review to provide a prospective to the current debate regarding the carrier. Has its cost and size gotten too big? Are smaller and more carriers better?

The book is well written and researched. Tillman covers the carrier, the planes and the key battles fought by carriers over the years. Tillman is a well-known naval historian. What country had the first carrier? I am not going to tell; you will need to read the book. You will be surprised by the answer.

The book is nine and a half hours long. Peter Berkrot does a good job narrating the book. Berkrot is an actor, voice-over artist and award-winning audiobook narrator.

Poor Commentator

A great short history of Carriers. A very British idea that the USA perfected gloriously.

Narrator is awful

Listen to the sample of the narration before you buy!

I regret not returning this book when I had the opportunity; the content is interesting but I found it impossible to get beyond the narration; Peter Berkrot is just an absolutely awful narrator, he tries to make every sentence sound impressive and dramatic, which (very quickly) gets obnoxious.

Nice historical review of Aircraft Carriers

The review of carrier development and history. At times, it's history is overwhelming, and at others it's a good story.

WORST NARRATION EVAR. Buy the Kindle or Real Book.

Any additional comments?

Sounds like the unholy demon spawn of William Shatner, Casey Casom and Wolfman Jack. No, seriously, listen to it for 5 minutes and tell me if you don't hear the worst characteristics of all three of these men rolled up into this narration. It's a damn shame too because the book and the story seem pretty good. I am still struggling to listen to it though because of the narration. I may have to go buy this one on kindle just so I can read the story without the Wolfman Jack distractions. I can't believe I paid to have this done to me...

Title: The Six-Day War

Subtitle: The Breaking of the Middle East

Author: Guy Laron

Narrator: William Hughes

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 hrs and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-21-17

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

One fateful week in June 1967 redrew the map of the Middle East. Many scholars have documented how the Six-Day War unfolded, but little has been done to explain why the conflict happened at all. As we approach its 50th anniversary, Guy Laron refutes the widely accepted belief that the war was merely the result of regional friction, revealing the crucial roles played by American and Soviet policies in the face of an encroaching global economic crisis and restoring Syria's often overlooked centrality to events leading up to the hostilities.

The Six-Day War effectively sowed the seeds for the downfall of Arab nationalism, the growth of Islamic extremism, and the animosity between Jews and Palestinians. In this important new work, Laron's fresh interdisciplinary perspective and extensive archival research offer a significant reassessment of a conflict - and the trigger-happy generals behind it - that continues to shape the modern world.

Members Reviews:

Prelude to the 6 day war

The title should more accurately reflect that this is about the prelude to the 6 day war. Very little time is spent on the conflict itself

Laron isn't near as impartial as he thinks he is.

While Laron is confined to only reporting facts (mostly) it is clear that he is personally an anglophone liberal that strongly opposes Israel's foreign policies. Like most western observers Laron knowledge of military concepts is rudimentary at best, especially command and control as he clearly has no concept of the perogatives of theatre and mission commanders.

Also this book is sprinkled with stereotypical thinking about certain groups, particularly the lack of recognition of the differences between the Jewish diaspora and the Israelis, and the belief the generals are hyper-belicose conspiators. Laron openly believes that war and conflict are a product of politicians failing to control the military and that any military action is by necessity unpopular, and Laron seems to realize how narrow that perspective is.

The most obvious fault of Laron is that he always uses words like 'geurrilla' and 'sabotage' instead of 'terrorist' and 'bombing.' And many times Laron uses very specific word choices to imply that Israeli efforts were more brutal than they actually were. Also by continued comparison of terrorists to Vietcong fighters Laron evidently desires these to be viewed the same way, when an entire book could be written about how this is not the case.

Laron shows a typical western reporter's preoccupation with economic issues and national domestic politics. The size of this book shows an thorough Laron was in research so no excuse can be made for these oversights among others.

Title: Up Against the Wall

Subtitle: Violence in the Making and Unmaking of the Black Panther Party

Author: Curtis J. Austin

Narrator: Gary Roelofs

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-14-17

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

Curtis J. Austin chronicles how violence brought about the founding of the Black Panther Party in 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, dominated its policies, and finally destroyed the party as one member after another - Eldridge Cleaver, Fred Hampton, Alex Rackley - left the party, was killed, or was imprisoned. Austin shows how the party's early emphasis in the 1960s on self-defense, though sorely needed in black communities at the time, left it open to mischaracterization, infiltration, and devastation by local, state, and federal police forces and government agencies. Austin carefully highlights the internal tension between advocates of a more radical position than the Panthers took, who insisted on military confrontation with the state, and those such as Newton and David Hilliard, who believed in community organizing and alliance building as first priorities. Austin interviewed a number of party members who had heretofore remained silent. With the help of these stories, Austin is able to put the violent history of the party in perspective and show that the "survival" programs, such as the Free Breakfast for Children program and Free Health Clinics, helped the black communities they served to recognize their own bases of power and ability to save themselves.

A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book.

Critic Reviews:

"Austin's energetically researched, deeply passionate book will be indispensable for students and scholars of the era." (CHOICE)

"We desperately need good historical scholarship about the Black Panther Party, and this strong history is a good place to start." (Tim Tyson, author of Blood Done Sign My Name)

"A serious, sober, and probing contribution to the ongoing project of historicizing and understanding the Party and its importance." (Waldo Martin, author of Civil Rights in the United States: An Encyclopedia)

Members Reviews:

well researched but poorly structured

Curtis Austin has put together a history of the Black Panther Party (BPP) from the mid 60's through to the early 70's. This was they heyday of the party, although it did continue along until the 80's and it's influence is still felt. It covers both the bad (violence etc) and the good (breakfast for school kids and other community outreach) that the party undertook.

If we were scoring this based solely on research, this book would get top marks. But once you add in the writing and the structure the score drops significantly. It's listless in places, with no real drive to the book, and is also all over the place in terms of content structure. Austin has researched well, he just hasn't been able to make a compelling read out of it.

The main thing that stands out is that there lacks a general 'thesis' of the book - the introduction (for what there is of one) should give an overview of the book, where it is going and what we can expect to learn from it. This book doesn't really provide that. It's lacks context for the rest of the content.

Title: The Philippines Campaign of 1941-1942

Subtitle: The First Major Campaign in the Pacific Theater

Author: Charles River Editors

Narrator: Scott Clem

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-13-17

Publisher: Charles River Editors

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

Those who had decoded and seen the Japanese communications in early December 1941 would not be surprised when they heard about an attack on December 7, 1941. They would, however, be astonished when they heard where that attack took place. Posted on the other side of the world, it was early on the morning of December 8 in the Philippines when American general Douglas MacArthur received news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor hours earlier. With that, it could only be a matter of time before the Japanese attacked the Philippines.

Although MacArthur and Allied forces tried to hold out, they could only fight a delaying action, and the Japanese managed to subdue all resistance by the spring of 1942. However, in the aftermath of Japan's successful invasion, as the nation's military strategists began preparations for the next phase of military actions in the theater, their forces had to deal with a critical logistical problem they had not foreseen. The Japanese had to deal with large numbers of Filipino and American soldiers who had surrendered after a lengthy defense in the Bataan peninsula, but they were not prepared for so many prisoners of war because their own military philosophy emphasized rigid discipline and fighting until the end. They could not imagine a situation in which Japanese soldiers would willingly surrender, so they assumed that no other combatants would do so either.

On the night of March 12, 1942, MacArthur, his family and closest advisors were smuggled out of Corregidor on PT boats.

Members Reviews:

"Given a grain of rice left in the kit would be enough reason for from ten to twenty people to fight for its possession"

Detailed account of the doomed struggle of the Allies in the Philippines (including five months at Bataan) circa 1941-942. Includes numerous quality photos such as the stunning pic of the Japanese tank crew at the start. For a campaign ending in failure I learned that it accomplished at least two things in demonstrating what air superiority can accomplish and how you can loose a battle yet win the war if only by holding out for as long as possible at one site so as to hurt your opponent months later elsewhere. Also includes a longer section on the Death March of Bataan (which I had read about earlier so I was able to skim thru this account given its' enhanced treatment in that offering). I found this book a very good tribute to our fallen heroes. Well done!

The Bataan Death March was one of the saddest chapter ...

The Bataan Death March was one of the saddest chapter in Philippine and American history, and I still wonder why Japanese find it hard to acknowledge and apologize for the atrocities that their WW II soldiers commited against helpless Filipino and American soldiers who already surrendered not to mention the Filipino civilians.

Historically inaccurate. Its account of Clark field operations on Dec 8 and then the claim of the sinking of the IJN Battleship Haruna by the Army Air Corps early in the Philippines campaign are not even close to factual. I quit reading at that point.

Great book. My brother was captured on Bataan and spent the rest of the war a slave in the Japanese mines in Japan.

Title: The Battleship Potemkin

Subtitle: The History and Legacy of the Famous Mutiny Aboard the Russian Ship

Author: Charles River Editors

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-13-17

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

Russia entered the 20th century in possession of nearly all of the prerequisites for an empire of historic proportions. The tsar presided over almost one-sixth of the world's land masses extending from a culturally European West to an Asian East, with vast expanses of forest steppe and tundra reaching from Poland to the Pacific Ocean.

Virtually all great empires have built and maintained advanced navies, from ancient times to the modern era of Spain, but Russia lagged behind in the modern armadas typical of world-shaping societies. Despite a membership of nearly 60,000 sailors by the turn of the 20th century, making Russia's seagoing force the fourth largest in the world, the crews were deficient and poorly treated, drawn largely from conscripted factory workers and serfs who earned far less in wages than they would have at home. This made them particularly susceptible to anti-tsarist ideologies, and in particular, "Marxist agitators." Likewise, most among the officer class were political appointees from the land-based aristocracy, who lacked the general skill and sensitivity with which to lead men into battles they themselves had never experienced.

Despite Russia's imposing image in the world, less apparent weaknesses within the tsarist government threatened the country's stability. The autocratic system had stood firm for several hundred years, but only in the 18th and 19th centuries was it surrounded by emerging democracies, alluring to working classes around the world. Multiple ethnicities from lands conquered in previous centuries maintained an almost provisional membership when faced with the allure of their home empires.

As with the rest of the population, naval forces that had come to be persuaded of anti-tsarist arguments did not do so within a vacuum. The accumulated unrest throughout the country could provoke a more organized message within the confines of a single warship, and indeed it eventually resulted in the first far-reaching eruption in the Black Sea Fleet aboard the battleship Potemkin. Several events in the early 20th century led to an eroding loyalty among Russian military forces, and Potemkin was the first modern ship to reveal it, an act that would bring it fame and make it the subject of some of the most well-known works of film and literature in Russian history.

Members Reviews:

Discusses a lot of interesting details and personalities that wanted to bring about change in Russia before 1917.

The Battleship Potemkin was a very interesting story about a mutiny in Russia that was about 12 years too early. The revolutionary and chief mutineer Matyushenko was quite determined to see the Tsar removed from power that he was stupid enough to return to Russia a couple of years after the mutiny. I am not sure whether modern readers understand that mutiny was punishable by death in almost every country in the world and in Russia all the mutineers that were caught were executed. The book discusses several revolutionary groups that wanted the destruction of the Tsar. It's amazing that it took so long for group like the communist take over the government since the government was inept, and corrupt.

Title: The Innocence of Kaiser Wilhelm II

Subtitle: And the First World War

Author: Christina Croft

Narrator: Jack Wynters

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-09-17

Publisher: Christina Croft

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

Almost a century after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, Kaiser Wilhelm II is still viewed as either a warmonger or a madman, as the hundred-year-old propaganda posters remain fixed in the general consciousness. Was he, though, truly responsible for the catastrophe of the First World War, or was he in fact a convenient scapegoat, blamed for a conflict which he desperately tried to avoid?

Members Reviews:

Very readable, just not believable

What did you love best about The Innocence of Kaiser Wilhelm II?

The details that are overlooked in standard histories of World War I. It's that much more fun that a few of them are Internet myths or were even made up by the author. Don't miss the part about the French poison gas with the English name Turpinite.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Woodrow Wilson, who doublecrossed the Kaiser. He is the bad guy in this story.

What does Jack Wynters bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

The sneering way he reads the snotty comments from the author and various historical figures. I was almost ready to vote against President Wilson in the next election.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The Kaiser, in retirement, blaming World War I on the freemasons.

Any additional comments?

I look forward to trips to the grocery store because I can read the headline in the Inquirer while I'm waiting for checkout. I think that's why I liked this book so much. Meet Kaiser Bill, the nicest autocrat in Europe, beloved by all except for Germany's neighbors. Like many other leaders, he talks incessantly of his desire for peace, but he really means it. He made only two mistakes, however: he allied himself with some Austrian thugs who murdered the heir to their own throne, blamed it on a terrorist organization that had been dormant for a decade, and dragged Bill into a world war against all his best efforts. His second mistake was to preside over a government that never gave straight answers to his questions and ignored his decrees. It's not easy being the All Highest.

To me it's a great book!

Sometimes to you need read to different point of view. But I love this book!!!
