Listening In is Real History

This is the real thing. Like pulling up a chair in the Oval Office. It's the Memoir that President Kennedy never got to write.

The history we learn in school is mush, the real stuff is so much better.
Lynne does a tremendous job laying out what happened those two years..
This points out what happens in a free society where we all have a voice
and let it be heard. We were not all in step to go to war like we were taught..
As time goes on we learn about the true facts of WWII, THOSE ANGRY DAYS,
sets the stage, good read...

If we want to know true history, than is this a source of truth. Henry Makow shows us who the movers and shakers are; he proves himself again as a real truthteller. Highly recommended!  Besides this, I like to recommend the following book too:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Cruel-Hoax-Feminism-and-the-New-World-Order/dp/096877251X/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Cruel Hoax: Feminism and the New World Order</a>

Growing up, we'd heard the stories about the great War of the Worlds broadcast and the chaos that followed. Got a kick out of finally hearing the genuine radio program itself. So far-fetched that the public thought Earth was actually being invaded. Have to keep in mind that there was a lot of political unrest at the time. Got a kick out of listening to it. Historical!

Recommended! A very in-depth journey into the life and times of Mashbir and the Emperor. Also recommend the Audible; awesome to listen to and read along with. The voices of the different characters make the story come alive. My teen years were spent reading Ian Fleming's novels. This book is a gem in the world of smoke and mirrors and behind the scenes of history.

One of my favorite past times is listening to other people's stories. The women Ms. Aggeles interviewed could have been someone you smiled at as you walked down the street, or said "excuse me" as you passed carts in the aisle of the grocery store, or sat at the next table at a local restaurant and you would have never guessed the exciting stories they had lived to tell! This pays homage to the old saying that you can never judge a book by its cover.  Ms. Aggeles made me feel I was sitting alongside her as she was interviewing these incredible women.  I loved that she included women from different war eras as well as including an African American woman's experiences. Thank you for a wonderfully written account of an important part of our history!

I've loved this book! Have actually been listening on CD, which is perhaps better...no stumbling over pronunciations. It is sometimes hard to hear the boundless injustices humans inflict on each other...especially on minorities, the poor, and women....but at the same time quite a reminder of how far we've come. And both a vast history lesson and a real page-turner!!

This CD series is extremely interesting.  I listened to it twice and loved it both times.  There are lectures on Americans that are not commonly featured in depth in history lessons, yet who had quite an influence on the history of our nation.

While some commenters have (correctly) complained about how the book is basically an HBS advertisement, I still think the book is worth checking out. The stories of the founders are engaging, and coupling the narrative chapters with their corresponding rules chapters made for interesting and engaging reading.

The audiobook's roundtable discussion at the end of it was absolutely worth the listen.

there was John Hay and John Nicolay. Having read the others, this series is like sitting down with the author, sharing a beverage, and listening to him reminisce. The immediacy is compelling. Yes, there are ten volumes in the series but this was the biggest thing at its writing in the 1880's that ever happened ti all of the United States. Who better to talk to than a man who was on intimate terms with the national leader and his son who, by the way died in 1926. Take the time, sit back in a comfortable chair and listen to the story of the war.

I know or knew most of the people and places alluded to in this book so it was a lot of fun listening to this book. As for the story line, if you are from the area, or know the area you would know that this could be about the time the book is set in, 20 years before that, today, or two years from now. Entertaining listen for anyone that grew up in a family routed in tradition, in a town routed in tradition, and a city with crooked officials.

I faithfully listened to "The Invention of Childhood" which was (and is currently being) broadcast on BBC Radio 4. This is such an interesting topic and the the narrator, Michael Morpurgo, really captivates the listener. I actually came to the Amazon website to see if there was a compilation in book or audio format where I could have it all in one shot.
So many people in our world today think that life as we know it now was always like this. This history of childhood tells us that many things we take for granted today (child support, orphanages, elimination of child labour, education for girls) are things that were nonexistent a century before.
If you are at all interested in history, you must listen to this series.

If you're interested in the real history of the United States, especially those surrounding one of the greatest Constitutional questions of all time, then this performance is for you!

If you listen close, there is a lot of information about what's going on in this movie. It's one you really have to pay attention to.

The story was just a story you couldn't stop listening to
