Excellent history .

Revisado: 10-23-21

There is nothing new in this book but still very engrossing. Well written and researched. What really makes this book so engaging is the narration. It is excellent. One of the best I have listened to which is why I will no doubt, listen to it again. Loved Paul McGann ❤ narration.

Shattering

Revisado: 07-24-21

This book is one of the most difficult I have ever read or listened to. Absolutely brutal and brilliant. It is impossible to forget what you hear, all backed up by expert research. Bloodlands is a very accurate description. The grounds of eastern Europe are soaked in the blood of the innocent. And finally a book that openly admits and backs up with facts the complete betrayal of Poland by the United States and Great Britain. This book is painful to listen to. Just a note to those who decide to listen to this book, do so at your own risk. The narration is excellent.

Amazingly detailed

Revisado: 07-18-21

An in depth recounting of an incredible escape from Auschwitz. I have read many accounts of this escape but never all the details of it. Rather incredible how it was done even more incredible that these two men were not recaptured. They made it and,as they intended, warned the Jewish community of Hungary of their forth coming fate at the hands of the Nazis. This begs the question. Why, after being warned and given proof, were so many Hungarian Jews murdered in the gas chambers of Auschwitz? I guess that is a story for another book. This is an excellent book, very informative, easy to listen to and extremely well narrated. My only problem with the narration was minor and that was the volume of the narrator. I wish he had spoken a bit louder. Had to listen with headphones which I do not like to do but, as I said, that was very minor. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the Holocaust or World War Two.

Excellent

This story needed to be told to honor those young women, girls, those who survived and those who did not. Their strength was amazing and although scare almost all the time ,were incredibly courageous. Well written and researched, impeccable research, by the author. She wrote a book she can be very proud of and I believe the young women would be proud of it as well. Suzanne Toren's narration is excellent, one of the best I have heard.

Excellent story

Revisado: 05-23-21

This is an excellent story but suffers from bad narration. The narrator reads this like a children's book, mispronounced names throughout set my teeth on edge. It can be tolerated because of the very interesting story of Cook, despite him not being a very likable man. Yes, I finished it but wish I had used my credit more wisely.

Pretty good

Revisado: 03-29-21

This book could have been really good had the author had the courage to change the stereotypical ending. It was predictable. Excellent narration and the characters were quite good. Overall I would recommend this book but buyers beware of the storybook ending.

Amazing

Revisado: 02-04-21

Wonderful from start to finish. The narration is absolutely wonderful and the story brilliantly written. I highly recommend this audio book. I wish I had not finished it so quickly but I have no doubt that I will listen to it again. Definitely a book that bears a repeat listen. Very quickly this author has become one of my favorite. No spoilers here. I do not wish to ruin a moment of this novel for anyone else. Easily ranks as the best book I have listened to in a very long time.

This book had only one problem and that was the volume. I turned it up as loud as possible and still had trouble hearing it. That needs to be fixed.

A great but tragic story. A very engaging listen. The history is great. The ending is sad but uplifting also because the 70 men are finally recognized and finally laid to rest properly. Now their country honors them as it should have in 1941. The narration is very good, clear and concise and he doesn't struggle with the more difficult Japanese names. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in naval battles of the second world war or in general human interest stories.
