A very interesting work by the author.

An outstanding work that was a mandatory listen. As a young Captain, it presented historical information that gave me a better understanding of military leadership and the art of war.

A good short history on a forgotten subject

Good, 7 hrs, one-volume history of the Spanish-American War and US-Philippine conflict. The only issue I had with it is that it is too big, lol.

Interesting content to follow.

An interesting content that revealed several facts previously unknown. In the end, it showed the hopelessness of war and the more often than not surprising consequences.
