Story
Its mysterious symbols and rituals had been used in secret for centuries before Freemasonry revealed itself in London in 1717. Once known, Freemasonry spread throughout the world and attracted kings, emperors, and statesmen to take its sacred oaths. But where had this powerful organization come from? What was it doing in those secret centuries before it rose from underground more than 270 years ago? And why was Freemasonry attacked with such intense hatred by the Roman Catholic church?

Uncommon Valor is a look into the formation and operation of an advanced Special Forces recon company during the Vietnam War. Code-named the Studies and Observations Group, SOG was the most covert US military unit in its time and contained only volunteers from such elite units as the Army's Green Berets, Navy SEALs, and Air Force Air Commandos. SOG warriors operated in small teams, going behind enemy lines in Laos and Cambodia and along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, tasked with performing special reconnaissance, sabotaging North Vietnamese Army ammunition, and far more.

Astounding Stories
Reviewed: 01-07-25
I found the pacing to be fantastic. Perhaps it's my bias as a soldier, but the format is really great; Who, did what, when, where, what happened? Boom, next utterly incredible story. It was a superb way to list the amazing actions of truly on of the most legendary American military units ever created.

Atrociously Flat Vocal Performance
Reviewed: 12-10-24
This is one of the worst vocal performances I've ever heard. It is flat, dry, and uninspired. The forced pronunciation of very specific words is jarring and the pacing is off. There is no flow to this performance at all. It's SO BAD I can't even pay attention to what he is actually talking about, the complete history is completely missed.

Story
The Great Game between Victorian Britain and Tsarist Russia was fought across desolate terrain from the Caucasus to China, over the lonely passes of the Parmirs and Karakorams, in the blazing Kerman and Helmund deserts, and through the caravan towns of the old Silk Road - both powers scrambling to control access to the riches of India and the East. When play first began, the frontiers of Russia and British India lay 2000 miles apart; by the end, this distance had shrunk to 20 miles at some points.

This book is a true gem, it's an art for, I believe, to be able to tell so much history in such an adventurous way. This reads like an adventure novel that spans multiple lives while giving incredible historical insight. I thoroughly look forward to reading this again.

5/5 Will be listening to this again. Its a brilliant recapture and thorough overview of the crusades. The ability to tell it neutrally is particularly enjoyable. The background on key historical characters additional to Saladin and Richard was likewise much appreciated. Performance and pace were superb.

Story
Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of Julius Caesar's life, Adrian Goldsworthy covers not only the great Roman emperor's accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters. Ultimately, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar's character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some 2,000 years later.

Story
The struggle between Rome and Carthage in the Punic Wars was arguably the greatest and most desperate conflict of antiquity. The forces involved and the casualties suffered by both sides were far greater than in any wars fought before the modern era, while the eventual outcome had far-reaching consequences for the history of the Western World, namely the ascendancy of Rome. An epic of war and battle, this is also the story of famous generals and leaders: Hannibal, Fabius Maximus, Scipio Africanus, and his grandson Scipio Aemilianus, who would finally bring down the walls of Carthage.
