Publisher's Summary:

Abraham Lincoln brought freedom to the slaves, and held the Union together during the Civil War. His profound and poetic speeches are famous around the world, evidence of the greatness of American's most beloved leader.

But did you know that the 16th president of the United States was also a backwoods hillbilly from America's western frontier, with a Kentucky accent so thick you could cut it? Or that he liked wrestling matches, dirty jokes, and had a reputation for telling hilarious, R-rated stories that weren't suitable for mixed company?

From his childhood working as a virtual slave for an abusive father, to sailing a river raft to New Orleans, to the Illinois General Assembly, Congress, and the White House, the story of Abraham Lincoln's life is the story of America. He mourned the deaths of almost everyone he loved, endured marriage to a wife whose mental health issues made her a domestic abuser, and lost more elections than he won. But Abraham Lincoln believed in one thing above all: that everyone deserved a fair shot at the American dream.

Why did John Wilkes Booth really shoot Abraham Lincoln? The truth is as shocking now as it was in 1865.

Members Reviews:

I am blown away by all the stuff I didn't know about this real American hero!

This book opened my eyes to the story of this amazing American president. He was years ahead of his time in seeing a world where things could be better. His attributes included honesty and hard work. He envisioned a world that didn't have slavery and where people were treated with respect and dignity that they deserve. Though, this book does a deep dive into his personal life as well. So many interesting trivia points that I had never heard of before reading this book!

True leader and inspires me in struggles

Great men like Lincoln has got a lot to teach us the young generation, I draw a lot of inspiration from the struggles he went through before and after becoming an American leader. He failed a lot more times than any president in pursue of the top seat and even after attaining it, he didn't act like a self-fish politician but one who cared for many lives irrespective of their appearance and believes.

Surprising Information!

This well-written brief account of Abraham Lincoln's life from early childhood to death reveals insights into the man of which I had not been aware. It tells of his personal life as well of his politics and the reason he was assassinated.

Great book.

"I walked slowly, but I never walked backward." This is one of the best line I learned from Abraham Lincoln. I read the book and feel amazed of everything he did before. He is truly genius and a man of honor. This book is full of encouragement as you'll learn how he lived his days.

Tells warts and all, still a good man

Part of history I'd either forgotten, or didn't know at all. Such a great story in this book about a great man and president but it tells of warts and all. Of course he was a saint/sinner as all children of God are. Still his memory is to be held in esteem.

Awful

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A narrator that pronounced places correctly Brooklne (ph) instead of Brooklyn, Sin Fine (ph) instead of Sinn Fein plus many more. Robotic no feeling a book if facts reeled off like a mad shopping list.

What could Hilary Brown and Go Entertain have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

The above plus a review of who narrates.

Would you be willing to try another one of Mike Norgaards performances?

No

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Kennedys: The True Story Behind America's Most Powerful Family?

I would not have cut I would have added .... emotion for one.

Any additional comments?

Title: Abraham Lincoln - 'Honest Abe'

Subtitle: The Life and Times of the Man Who Led America Through Its Greatest Moral, Political, and Constitutional Crisis

Author: Jack Johnson

Narrator: Jim Johnston

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-26-16

Publisher: WE CANT BE BEAT LLC

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Publisher's Summary:

Honest Abe was written to act as your easy reference point that contains everything you need to know about the life and times of Abraham Lincoln. Throughout the book, I have sought to paint the picture of the scenes I describe, so that this is more than an academic treatise. This book is meant to be more of a movie; a movie that plays out in your head as you hear its vivid details, so that you can feel that you were there as it was happening.

This is certainly a quick listen, but it is densely packed with information that so many historians tend to overlook. Lincoln's story is a gripping tale, from beginning to end. Given the massive nature of his accomplishments and the nearly six decades he lived, you might wonder how these words can adequately cover so much ground. This book will give you an excellent grasp of the man - as a son, as a younger brother, as a father, as a thinker, as a politician, and, of course, as our 16th president.

Members Reviews:

A Lot of Information About Abe and His Times, But...

As the author promised, there is a lot of information about the man and his times. For me, personally, it still felt as though I was reading yet another textbook, similar to the ones I read in school. I prefer reading historical books like those written by David McCullough, where characters are fully developed and come alive, and history flows like a thrilling novel.

Not worth the time

Hack writing. Poorly edited, misspelled words, missing words, wrong words,. A total waste of time.

Term paper

This reads like a high school term paper on Lincoln, with awkward sentences and loads of typos. For example, when the author discussed the conflict between Native Americans led by Black Hawk and the US militia, he referred to the Native Americans as "the Black Hawks." As a high school term paper, I'd give it a C. As a book for adults, I'd just pass on it.

Short but interesting

I enjoyed this book about Abraham Lincoln but then I was born and raised in Illinois, the land of Lincoln. It gave more information about this great man. I liked it.

A great, enjoyable, quick read --- a "capitalization" of the Civil War.

Would have given 5 stars, but t book had several misspellings and misprint as far as putting down the wrong words. Other than that, it was a page Turner. It kept me captivated till the very end.

Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush by Jon Meacham | Summary & Highlights - NOT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

President Bush seemed destined for the White House from early on. Destiny and Power takes a look at the early years of politics in the Bush household, through his work in the Nixon camp, all the way to the dynasty that stands today, known as the Bush political family.

President Bush did things in a quiet, strong, and personal manner that has seemed to go by the wayside in recent years. But his style, candor, and affinity toward foreign affairs continue to positively affect the United States of America.

This book will bring you to a deep understanding of the Bush family. This is not just a political giant of a family but a family that espoused the greatest values of America.

I thought I was buying an excerpt summary of a great book. It reads like a C- 6th grade book review. Misspelled- Regan in one sentence, Reagan in the next. Improper syntax, hard to understand. Quotes without context. $2.99 flushed down the toilet.

I enjoy Summary Reads

I am a history maven but a slow reader and a very busy guy. I enjoy Summary Reads. They seem to be very well done. I would recommend them. I have had about three of them so far and I was able to get a real sense of the best seller book.

Poorly edited summaries

Lots of typos. Very poorly edited. Disappointing product.

One Star

Not for me; was way too condensed. Not an enjoyable read. More of an outline than a condensed book.

Four Stars

very well written. very interesting.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes

Publisher's Summary:

One of the greatest military leaders that ever lived, Napoleon left behind a legacy. His work has lived on, years after his death. His Code Napoleon has formed the foundation for most of the legal and parliamentary systems across Europe and the rest of the world today. Such was the impact that Napoleon had on the world. He was the man who was able to make 36 million French citizens obey him, without exerting any authority over them, but because of his pure genius, which had seen him succeed where so many of his predecessors had failed. He was the man who managed to come out victorious in battle, when he was clearly outnumbered by his adversaries, something that so many of the most confident and bravest men on the planet would never ever have thought possible. But he, Napoleon Bonaparte, defied all odds. Other than the fact that he was known for his military exploits, Napoleon was also known for something else, love. He loved, passionately. He harbored deep love for his first wife Josephine, a love whose tale that has been told for years. Such was his undying love for Josephine, that he defied the odds, his family included, and married her, once his mistress, a woman years his senior, and a socialite with a penchant for going after men of power. But, for Napoleon, it was love, pure unadulterated love, which kept them in good terms, even after they had divorced. At the time of his death, his last words were his love for Josephine, his country France and his army, the three most important things to him.

Title: Flying with the Enemy

Subtitle: Memoir of a Young Cadet

Author: Oleg V. Oksevski

Narrator: Don Warrick

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-20-15

Publisher: George Okshewsky

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Publisher's Summary:

Oleg Okshevsky was born a son of a Russian Tsarist cavalry officer in 1915, in Yevpatoriya, Russia. Because of the Russian Revolution he was raised in Serbia and went to school at a Russian Cadet Academy. He later became a bomber pilot in the Royal Yugoslavian Air Force.

When war broke out and Germany invaded Yugoslavia, Nazis told Serbians to walk to concentration camps, while the Croatians sympathized and gave in to Hitler. Oleg refused to walk to any sort of camp. He hid out hoping to meet a sub with other Serbian pilots leaving for North Africa to join American and British pilots to fight the Nazis. He literally missed the boat and now became stuck, surrounded by Germans.

Oleg and his brother decided to pretend they were with the Croatians in order to get their hands on a plane and join the allies in Africa to fight the Nazis. After much training in Germany and the brothers miraculously still together, they ended up in the same plane with orders to fly not west but east! They were stunned, not knowing what to do next. They were hoping on a mission anywhere but east.

Still naïve in their mid-20s, and not understanding yet the full extent of Communism back then, they thought they would make the best of it and fly to Russia. After all, the Soviets were allies - right? The bombing mission they were on flies in formation with other bombers to the Eastern Front. With great skill and risk, pilot Oleg banks his plane away from the rest of the formation and dramatically changes course heading into Soviet territory in a German plane. He flew for some time while being shot at by both Germans and Soviets and finally landed in a potato field on the outskirts of a Russian village. Villagers were shocked that a German bomber now sat in their village. Oleg explained everything to them until the KGB showed up. The KGB took them to the infamous Lubyanka prison in Moscow where they were interrogated. Oleg and Lev forgot how much danger they were still in.

Members Reviews:

an epic of survival against terrible odds

This memoir by Oleg Oksevski is fascinating and covers subjects not often written about in World War II histories. Oleg was a young flight officer of Russian ancestry but loyal to his Yugoslavian nation where he was raised. He and his brother were trained to fly British twin engine bombers. When Germany invaded Yugoslavia in April of 1941, most of the Yugoslavian aircraft were destroyed on the ground by German bombers. The British evacuated 200 Yugoslavian pilots to Egypt to join the fight against the Axis power. Oleg and his brother missed the last plane leaving for Egypt and were forced to go into hiding to evade being sent to prison camps. Later through connections they were able to bluff their way into the German Luftwaffe who believed they were Croatians loyal to the Axis. At the first opportunity, Oleg and his brother and two others flew their bomber and landed behind Russian lines to hand it over to the Soviets and request their assistance to travel on to Egypt to join forces with the British. They were stunned when they were promptly arrested by the NKVD (Soviet state police) and thrown into Lubyanka prison in Moscow.

This story is really not at all about flying, it is an epic of survival against terrible odds. The most fascinating aspect of Oleg's experiences was his observations within the Soviet state and their paranoid reactions to his defection.

Riepilogo Editore:

Gaio Giulio Cesare è il personaggio più famoso della storia di Roma antica, nonché uno dei più noti condottieri di tutti i tempi. In suo onore vennero chiamati "Cesare" gli imperatori di Roma, gli imperatori tedeschi e gli zar russi. Eppure Cesare non fu mai imperatore o re. Nel corso degli ultimi, tempestosi anni della Roma repubblicana, fu cinque volte console, pontefice massimo per quasi vent'anni e dittatore.

Sconfisse i nemici veri e presunti di Roma combattendo in tre continenti e festeggiando trionfi di una magnificenza mai vista. Adottò una serie impressionante di innovazioni e accorgimenti di ogni tipo per superare le difficoltà. Rivaleggiò in oratoria e stile con Cicerone, in cultura con Marco Terenzio Varrone. Esercitò un potere quasi assoluto, ma fu adorato dal popolo, che apprezzò la clemenza, le riforme, le opere pubbliche e l'arricchimento causato dalle conquiste.
