Incredibly timely & important read.

Revisado: 12-05-24

Not only is the subject matter excellent and timely, the prose is more beautiful than the vast majority of historians. Professor Snyder is a philosopher as much as he is a historian. And an exceptional writer. EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD READ THIS ONE!

Privacy is dead

Revisado: 02-04-23

A must read to understand where no-click intrusions can infect a cell phone by only having the number. Tech gone wrong. It explains how MBS knew where Khashoggi was going to be so he could literally get away with murder. The epilogue tell is clearly… this is the future and we all must govern ourselves accordingly.

READ THIS AUTHOR!

Revisado: 10-13-22

Sarah Kendzior is the ultimate truth teller. She refers to herself as “a nonfiction horror writer” and that is a perfect description. Don’t read it to feel great about things - read it to learn the ugly, ugly truth. Why have you not heard of her? The mainstream media is owned by Goliath corporations so they don’t want us to know what she’s revealing either. This makes it even MORE important to read her. I also recommend her podcast, GaslitNation. She & her cohost Andrea Chulupa (I hope I spelled this right) do this very important work every week.

Too brilliant!

Revisado: 07-03-22

Tony Judt has a supremely gifted mind and this book is spectacular. Revisiting the issues from across the century is a smart way at. A brilliant walk down memory lane with contemporary analysis. Mr. Judt makes the work very east ygy play.
A great book. In fact, it’s most definitely the most reflective of Mr. Judt’s endnote:

Essential, no… MANDATORY reading if you love America

Revisado: 12-11-21

If you read or listen to ONE BOOK, listen to this one; and prepare to be terrified at the real conspiracy of a global criminal syndicate to get control of the most powerful military the world has ever known (and though no cannibalism or devil worship) even includes international child sex trafficking. It seems the GQP affinity for projection includes the global conspiracy controlling things behind the scenes, but very different than what Q has told its cult members.
Extremely well researched, well written, and clear picture that every American must get acquainted with before time runs out on the Republic the Founders handed us along with the warning… “IF you can keep it.”

Get this Book... no matter you political persuasion.

Revisado: 06-17-21

This is a book that every interested American should read. First, it’s beautifully written which makes it a pleasant read. A talent not all those who write a book after leaving government.

This is riveting journey the author takes you along with him on an incredibly honest assessment of his that personal journey after leaving eight (8) years in government, the palpable sense of disillusionment the author struggles with after serving with such optimism which fits in perfectly with a narrative that also includes a painfully honest assessment of the nation he served for nearly a decade.

Cannot recommend this book enough. It’s more about the world and America’s place in it than a book about Mr. Rhodes time in government. Such an enlightened work; one for which Ben Rhodes earned my admiration.

Fantastic

Revisado: 05-15-21

This is being a fly on the wall for an incredibly fascinating intellectual discussion between two brilliant minds. Notice I don’t limit these scholars to their label of historian, because they are clearly so much more. I consider myself fairly educated and well read, yet I never heard of many of the authors and works these men referee off the top of their heads as if I’m talking about the ‘82 Chicago Cubs lineup - except my knowledge is baseball while theirs spans topics of life and death importance, not a child’s memory of his first love in baseball.

I enjoyed these men in conversation as much as I did any single volume non-fiction book I’ve ever spent time with. If you love history, politics, and important issues... you will enjoy this book. I liken it to my years of enjoyment of Charlie Rose’s discussions with great minds. Sucks for his victims that Charlie was a sexual predator. That one hurt because I respected Charlie and never in a hundred years would have guessed his disgusting sickness. Regardless, his work was stellar and I enjoyed it for decades (you think you know someone, but you don’t). I digress.

Get this book! You can return it if you don’t like it, but if you like history I suspect you will love this one.

Frighteningly familiar

Revisado: 08-07-20

Listening to this title in August of 2020, I cannot be more stunned at just how similar the death of their republic and our own are. We are much further down the road to fascism than even I knew. I will be totally surprised if Trump does NOT try and pull off a power grab - the evidence of the most blatant attempts to suppress the vote are already public (see the United States Postal Service), and they are refusing to make public a redacted report of the IC public so citizens are armed with knowledge about what foreign powers are doing - and it must be done BEFORE the election. The open acceptance of the American Right of fascism is far easier to understand after reading this timely & important work.

A timely, must read on the subject matter. Not Trump bashing. Very enlightening.

Revisado: 07-07-18

Secretary Albright began this book before the election of Donald Trump so this is not s reactionary book bashing Trump. To the contrary, it is a sober, well-reasoned, and thorough history of Fascism from someone that lived it as a diplomat and as far back as her earliest memories. She has a perspective on the subject that enriches her perspective and the work itself. So many personal anecdotes along with the excellent scholarship we have come to expect from Madeline Albright.

Highly recommended for anyone that wants to enrich their understand of fascism and its current spread across Europe & now America.
