Story5 out of 5 stars 65
Season 12 premiered October 20, 2024 – a nonfictional account of The Martian Revolution of 2247. Mike Duncan is taking everything he's learned from 12 seasons of historical revolutions - the repeating arcs, characters, ideas, events, and patterns which all revolutions seem to follow - and created a fictional history of the Martian Revolution of 2247. The series is written from the point of view of a historian working hundreds of years after the Martian Revolution and will be presented in the style and format of previous seasons of Revolutions. It will look, sound, and feel like a Mike Duncan...

This gentleman is Mike Duncan author of “The storm before the storm The beginning of the end of the Roman Republic” a New York Times Bestseller ,and soon to be “Lafayette” a soon to be Bestseller.
He does a fantastic job at telling stories he has a “History of Rome” Podcast. He has a long career in this field of media, and does his best to find accurate information or even correct himself when he has made a mistake. One of my favorite Narrators and hope for more content in the future.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 211
Spector reassesses US and Japanese strategy and offers some provocative interpretations. He shows that the dual advance across the Pacific by MacArthur and Nimitz was less a product of strategic calculation and more a pragmatic solution to bureaucratic, doctrinal, and public relations problems facing the Army and Navy. He also argues that Japan made its fatal error not in the Midway campaign but in abandoning its offensive strategy after that defeat and allowing itself to be drawn into a war of attrition.

OK as an overview, but too little detail

The Author seems conflicted

The performance of the reader is magnificent and the problem of the book does not stem from that. The problem is the book directly contradicts itself, and doesn’t seem to mind that. I will not bore you with the details. However know this going in.
