Great account of baseball‘s best base stealer.

Swing and a miss. Not much baseball and full of philosophy.

Great account of the planning and conduct of the Iraq Wae that dispels many perceptions.

Almost like reading Steinbeck.

Harrowing account of the infamous incident with historic implications.

Difficult subject but really well done.

Not much baseball at all in this book nor any substance to back the authors claims.

There were a few funny moments.

Gets repetitive.

Very balanced and entertaining biography.

I thought this book was supposed to be about baseball?

I think this his first serial killer character.

The culminating event was rushed.

Great insight into the late season dramatics.

The author is all over the place. I thought I was reading a book about Smedley Butler in the early 1900s but the author spent more time talking about identity politics in 2020.

You‘ll find yourself laughing at the greatness and the temper tantrums.

Trails off at the end.

Interesting point of view which was proven wrong after the 2003 Iraq invasion.

All over the place.

I would recommend reading his three volume work this is far too compressed which makes the timeline sound repetitive.

Brutally honest depiction of war in the Pacific.

Feels like you‘re reading about the current corruption and crime of LA, NYC, and DC. Unfortunately these cities have gone back their lawlessness of the 70s, 80s, and early 90s.

Good to see Rome entering the author‘s catalog.

A must for cycling fans.

Good memoir recalling the counterinsurgency the United States learned the hard way in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Shatters the misconceptions of the 1st Marine Provisional Brigade in the Korean War.

Great account of the gallant US Navy in a battle that is historically remembered as a USMC event.

Brilliant depictions of the growing distrust that emerged out of the Tet Offensive and that continues to plague the United States government today.

Quick snapshot of American progression in foreign and domestic policy.

The author has very good points to start off with but the hypothetical situations he presents later in the book took away from a lot of his research.

The story was anticlimactic.

Great in depth account of the first year of the Battle of Britain during WWII from the perspective of the Churchill administration and family.

Great depictions of the artist‘s relationships with Popes and his commissions along with in depth details of his personal letters to family and friends.

Very honest and focuses on the music and song writing.

Interesting to read about the scientists and doctors who pioneered new treatments and research.

Repetitive storytelling.

Must read for cycling fans.

I wonder how much the author was writing about his own experiences?

Enjoyed reading about the 1970s Yankees.

It is too bad these bands had such destructive habits they would have made amazing music for decades.

Standard Chernow excellence. This biography will shatter the misconceptions about our countries greatest general.

Sticks to cooking. If you love ramen and Japan this is for you.

You‘ll enjoy it if you‘re big into cooking.

Not that I disagree with the author but America has changed a lot since he wrote the book.

Easy to see why this novel is routinely referenced along with “1984” and “Brave New World”.

My first time reading Hemingway can‘t wait to read more.

The third in the Jake Brigance stories.

The author has done extensive research but his analysis is rampant with anti-American bias.

Don‘t expect many cooking adventures it is similar to reading an autobiography from an 80s rock star bragging about drug abuse and excess.

Willing to bet 90 percent of the legislative branch has never read these.
