This was a good book, no surprise as Lear is a fantastic storyteller. Getting the perk behind the scenes is a real treat.

Story5 out of 5 stars 130
It is an era that redefined history. As the 1790s began, a fragile America teetered on the brink of oblivion, Russia towered as a vast imperial power, and France plunged into revolution. But in contrast to the way conventional histories tell it, none of these remarkable events occurred in isolation.

Fantastic juxtaposition of time and place!

I will say right off that it took a while for the book to get going. But once it did it hit its stride in a very eloquent fashion telling the story of the French Revolution and then framing it with events going on at the time in Russia and the fledgling United States. I have read a number of books about the French Revolution but never one that put it into so much contact in regards to American history. At times it was downright scary to see how close we were to possibly falling into the chaos everything from the storming of the Bastille to the actual Terror itself are scenes that could have been replayed here in this country at that time. For that alone I highly recommend this book.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,859
The long-awaited autobiography from Phil Collins, one of the best-selling music artists of all time. This is the roller-coaster journey from his beginnings as a child actor to his domination of the charts as both a solo artist and part of Genesis. His success is astounding, his music has global reach, and his story is legendary.

Phil is the man.
Reviewed: 11-15-16
This is a good autobiography and a well told story. It's easy to forget guys like Phil are real people and this book brings him down to earth. the only regret is I was hoping for more if the little stories that make up a life. What we get is grand it's just a shame he doesn't remember more.
