Historia
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Historia
In 1528, a mission set out from Spain to colonize Florida. But the expedition went horribly wrong: Delayed by a hurricane, knocked off course by a colossal error of navigation, and ultimately doomed by a disastrous decision to separate the men from their ships, the mission quickly became a desperate journey of survival. Of the 300 men who had embarked on the journey, only four survived - three Spaniards and an African slave.

This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

Mountain man and fur trader Jedediah Smith casts a heroic shadow. He was the first Anglo-American to travel overland to California via the Southwest, and he roamed through more of the West than anyone else of his era. His adventures quickly became the stuff of legend. Using new information and sifting fact from folklore, Barton H. Barbour now offers a fresh look at this dynamic figure.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Historia
In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh’s army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians.

Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.

Historia
In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened.

good but stopped early
Would you try another book from George Pendle and/or Fred Williams?
great history on the continent. It is a lot to cover, but it covers it well. I was a little upset that it didn't go past the 1970s. I would like some contemporary history. It was good though.

BIASED AND OUTDATED, YET...
What did you like best about A History of Latin America? What did you like least?
Mr Pendle's approach to Latin American history is thoroughly Anglo. By this I mean that, in his view, Great Britain played an overwhelming role in the wars and independence of the Spanish colonies and in their further development throughout the XIX and XX centuries. (?) Moreover, and possibly owing to the fact that this seems to be a 1963 edition, the language used to describe specific human groups such as the Spaniards, the "Criollos" and the Natives is very frequently plagued by politically incorrect monickers such as "ignorant", "slow", "lazy" "slothful" and even "stupid"!! (One point for British arrogance; zero points for British intellectual sensitivity).
In spite of the aforesaid, one must recognize there is a genuine desire to be comprehensive and incorporate as much as possible of Latin American history in the space available.
If you’ve listened to books by George Pendle before, how does this one compare?
N/A
How could the performance have been better?
Mr Williams rendering of the book is outrageously tedious, in spite of the fact that the man possesses a very fine and silky voice. His inclination to a monotone and lethargic reading makes it quite difficult to follow him without falling asleep. I honestly must say that I am a regular listener of audiobooks and therefore pretty well trained in listening skills, but Mr Williams nevertheless is a very trying experience,
Was A History of Latin America worth the listening time?
See my previous comments.
Any additional comments?
Time for a newer version of Latin American history in your Audible options.

Out of date, in many respects
Note, above all, that the release date on the Audible recording is misleading - this book was published in 1963. It’s also important to note that the author was a British professor, and although he was clearly knowledgeable, his text suffers from many of the flaws of the English (and US) scholarship of that time about non-European history and cultures. His sources are primarily English-language, which is baffling given the vast scholarship over hundreds of years available in Spanish and Portuguese. He gives a surprising amount of space to the influence of the UK on Latin American history, given that she was at best a bit player on the scene for the most part. He indulges in sweeping generalizations about the characteristics (as he sees them) of whole peoples, although to his credit he does so with clear attempts compassion and appreciation - the condescension is apparent, but it’s not as blatant as some. But the biggest flaws in the work are inherent in the approach - trying to summarize, in one volume, the diverse histories of two continents in a single, not-very-large volume, including a gloss of the pre-European history of the Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas. Pendle did an admirable job at this task, all things considered, but the flaws in the project itself are hard to ignore.
The recording is well done and the narrator is solid, although it is sometimes obvious that he is not fluent in either Spanish or Portuguese. Certain words, names, terms, and places are mispronounced. (E.g., each time he mentioned Oaxaca, he pronounced it differently.) Ideally, it would be wonderful if a work on Latin America would include the actual sounds and words of that diverse land.
Overall, I found this somewhat useful as a starting point for further research and reading, especially given that there are relatively few audiobook alternatives available in English, either as original works or in translation. But I wish that gap would be addressed.

Very 70s perspective on history
This book has lots of hot takes on the 'character" of Latin American people. If that sounds too broad and makes you wince then you won't like this book much. It's redeeming aspect is that will familiarize you with the outline of history. Maybe one more redeeming aspect is that it'll give you a background on factors that 40 years ago were regarded as forces of history. I'm sure the next book I read on this subject will argue against the ideas of this book.
