"Audible hopes you've enjoyed this program." Definitely didn't enjoy it. It was difficult to listen too, horrifying and terrifying. Absolute must for your listening que... although by the end, there are only so many times you can hear about the burning of flesh, carbon atomization of human beings, the listing of endless priceless icons of civilization.... before the listener just becomes numb to it all. Probably could have edited it towards the end. The point was already made and then some.

The captivating language and story telling paint a vivid picture for the reader. The narrator's voice is perfect for this book!

And yet not a single manager or exec was held to account financially, let alone criminally. Depressing.

Great premise, terrible execution. The author just goes too far and stretches his arguments to connect the dots too thin. Couldn't finish it.

Not even close to the original book. The characters are paper thin, the rapid timeline is absurdly condensed, the motivations and rational of major decisions is ridiculous and unbelievable. I feel like this book was grown from an 8th grade English class writing prompt assignment. Not worth your time or money. Skip.

The narrator sounds like a Muppet. It really does ruin the experience and detract from learning.

The narrator makes this absolutely unlistenable. I'm sure it is a fascinating story with unique insights...but you can't make it more than 30 minutes without wanting to turn it off. So disappointing.

Narrator is garbage. Buy the physical book instead. At least it will be your own annoying inner voice, rather than a smarmy Brit who is better suited to narrate cheap paperback romance novels.

As an Iraq/Afghanistan vet, I can only hope that one day my generation will produce our own version of Gregg Jones, who will capture our brotherhood in an equally poignant and insightful book. Jones gives life to the names on the page and draws the reader into the chaos, fear and sense of family that those Marines experienced at Khe Sanh. This is an absolute must read book. It will expand your understanding of the war and put it into a deeply personal and human perspective.

It's hard to believe that anyone purposefully talks like this! John McLain's smarmy and oleaginous reading style leaves you just feeling gross. It's hard to really absorb the content, when every 20 seconds you cringe from some over-the-top style of reading the sentence. Just awful.
