A date that which will live in infamy

Revisado: 06-21-24

First off the 442nd Infantry soldiers were so brave and deserve all the accolades, respect and honor. But the surprise attack without a declaration of war was and is unforgivable in the eyes of many Americans at the time! And I do correlate that to the way Americans felt on September 11.
Could you imagine what the Japanese would’ve done to Americans if we attacked their country, look at the way the Japanese’s treated POWs’.

A very bad executive order by Roosevelt. That was Roosevelt’s decision. Although I believe most Americans agreed with that at the time. He made the bad executive order.
My main issue is the author, missed some facts that are very important to know. The one thing for sure is they were not concentration camps.
This was only done on West coast for security reasons. This is where a lot of war time manufacturing was done.
If the Japanese family, could afford it they could’ve just moved inland. Though many Japanese could not afford to do so, and they were forced into the camps, which is awful and wrong.
I feel calling them. Concentration camps is very disrespectful.
There were also many spies that were caught within the first few months after the infamous attack : about 1800 spies on the West Coast and Hawaii.
I really feel that the anger of the surprise attack without declaration war sealed their fate. I wish they would’ve also included these facts to show why Americans dislike the Japanese so much back then. I grew up in Hawaii and I know many Japanese and they are the kind and gentle people. However, during the imperial era of Japan they were not trusted. When the Japanese fought the Russians 50 years before that they attacked them without a declaration of war.
I think the author should’ve included other facts that but War makes humans do bad things. Would’ve given more stars if all the facts were given. It’s a very narrow viewpoint, judging people from today’s viewpoint.

Great story.

Revisado: 05-25-24

I enjoyed the story. From the SOE and OSS to the CIA. What a women and American indeed.
I’m sure most people know nothing about this story and to learn about the treachery of the Vichy French government.
Amazing how ill prepared America was in the spy game during that time.
The English narrators distracting American accent reminded me of oyster Bay accent of FDR.

Not very brotherly story.

Revisado: 01-08-24

It blew me away. Why kids would do this…it’s a different generation. when I was in college. I was in a fraternity if you got caught doing any drugs it was a suspension and then expulsion. I’m sure it was going on but I never saw it back in my days in the late 80s. sad to hear. Joining a fraternity for some is a great way of making lifelong friends. Sounds like these guys join for different reasons.

Five Stars for a three star general.

Revisado: 09-02-23

The book is wonderful. It may bring tears. Great quotes from the past. They even have quotes from the North Vietnamese general; that was amazing information.
They were very respectful to the North Vietnamese soldiers.
In America we call the WW2 area “the greatest generation”.
After you listen to this book, you may change your mind.
These great Americans that served in Vietnam to me are just as deserving of that mention.
Lieutenant general Harold Moore is a great human. As is his wife Julia Moore.
on May 11, 2023.
They renamed Fort Benning:
“FORT MOORE”.

They did a good job of being neutral

Revisado: 05-26-23

I was surprised to hear some of their conclusions.
They were MJ fans. Even I was fooled by his greatness. But he is not innocent. A not guilty verdict does not infer you are innocent. It just means you won the battle. The legacy for Michael is complicated but the truth is the truth. Ask OJ.

Excellence or is it excellent.

Revisado: 12-02-22

Everyone should listen to all off the conversations. Especially those who judge people by their looks or ideology, not their character.
They are so refreshing to hear and of course they are all supper smart thinkers. Love everything Hoover Institute offers.
Listen and learn something important.
Goodfellas you are wonderful!

Unacceptable narrator.

Revisado: 11-18-22

Not cool to ruin peoples names.
I don’t know what to say it’s unforgivable. Go back and edit the audible. It is disrespectful to the memory of the people and the audience that is listening.
Audible this is your issue.
Please fix.

Narrator ruins all the last names.

Revisado: 10-31-22

Why This Narrator cannot get last names right. Good thing he got Steve Young’s name correct.
Really amazing stories. I wish Steve did the narration. It is really bad to hear someone lay name get distorted. Other than that he was ok.
