Brings Truman to life. Wonderful narration by Fred Sanders. Very enjoyable addition to the fine McCollough biography.

I agree with reviewer who said the book was good. But I'm really annoyed that several chapters in the hardback book are omitted from the audiobook. It doesn't say anywhere that the audiobook is abridged. If this happens with another book, I will cancel my membership. If audible or the publisher wants to abridge, say so.

Really wonderful book. Thoughtful, deeply researched. I loved it. Prentice Onayemi is a fabulous reader. I like Janina Edwards but found alternating readers by chapter distracting. I would have preferred just Onayemi as a reader but that is just my personal preference. The book should be read by every American.

Loved the book. The history it tells. It brought President Garfield to life as well as Alexander Graham Bell, Joseph Lister. And the reader was excellent too. Anyone interested in history and science will enjoy this book.

I loved this book more than I can say. It's an amazing work of scholarship, clearly a labor of love. I lerarned so much about Frederick Douglass, truly another Founding Father of this country. The narration is wonderful. Prentice Oneyemi's voice is liquid velvet. Bravo to David Blight and Prentice Oneyemi for a masterful effort.
