Publisher's summary

Set in a world where crime and government coexist, American Made is the mind-twisting true story of CIA pilot Barry Seal that the Hollywood movie starring Tom Cruise is afraid to tell.

Barry Seal flew cocaine and weapons worth billions of dollars into and out of America in the 1980s. After he became a government informant, Pablo Escobar's Medellin Cartel offered a million for him alive and half a million dead. But his real trouble began after he threatened to expose the dirty dealings of George HW Bush.

American Made rips the roof off Bush and Clinton's complicity in cocaine trafficking in Mena, Arkansas.

amazing!

What made the experience of listening to American Made the most enjoyable?

This book will change your worldview about politicians and the corruption at the heart of the war on drugs. I can tell by the Tom cruise trailer that the Hollywood movie is a total whitewash of Barry seal’s life. This book has the real story. It is even endorsed by Barry Seal’s son, Aaron Seal.

revealing

even though I am not a fan of timeline changes during a story I was captivated by the way the author put his point across. I am an Avid Reader when it comes to the seventies eighties and nineties Cali cartel triangle with Noriega in the United States and I never put a a finger on Barry Sanders and George W bush but it was amazingly entertaining and revealing

dissapointed

this has the potential to be a great story but this just didn't get as into it as i had hoped. there was way to much about george bushes life and not enough about barry seals life and exploits.

Interesting conspiracy theories

Barry was an interesting dude, no idea how true any of this is? If it is true, the Clinton's and Bush's are going to hell in a handbasket!

conspiracy fact - wake up people

This audiobook is an excellent analysis of the life of Barry Seal, and his work for the CIA which got him killed, which the movie is not going to show because it is a line the director cannot cross. As well as Barry's story, this book also contains the stories of his murder suspects, Pablo Escobar and George HW Bush, which are equally as fascinating.
Reading the audiobook reviews about tin-foil hats, it seems some of the listeners still believe in mainstream media, worship the Bush family and believe all the lies and propaganda. If this audiobook did not help you wake up, then you probably never will.

Watch American Made, then get this book!!!!!

Great narrator, smooth and easy hearing it. Really goes into alot more detail of Barry seal and CIA, Clinton's cocaine snorting. Bush's family and making money from supporting NAZI part in late 1920s to Giving Saddam the go ahead to invade Kuwait, to Even more detail and crazy mini stories like a Quentin Tarantino movie, they all tie into each other at the end of the book!!!!!!!!!!

WOW... What an exciting, informative page-turner!

Where does American Made rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Compared to other audiobooks, this stood out to me because it was not only interesting, but the narrator was engaging.

What did you like best about this story?

I was informed but I didn't feel like I was being forced to think a certain way. I felt the author did a great job at informing the reader and keeping them interested without trying to force an opinion down the reader's throat.

Have you listened to any of Randal Schaffer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not, but I think Shaun Attwood chose a perfect narrator, Randal Schaffer, to read his masterpiece!

If you could give American Made a new subtitle, what would it be?

I'm satisfied with the title.

Any additional comments?

As a fan of Shaun Attwood's books, I was pumped up to hear about his continued writing on Pablo Escobar being available via Audible. Shaun keeps it exciting and I steer other readers towards this elucidative narration.
