Malcolm Gladwell is a bit of a pompous know-it-all, relentlessly confident in all of his assertions... but dang he weaves an excellent story from reliable sources. Particularly good because it began as an audiobook first.

Written very much in Gladwell’s Revisionist History tone, this book is super readable, even if the content is at times disturbing.

This was an incredibly informative and fascinating audiobook! A rare look at an overlooked part of history that dictated how we wage wars. Full of Malcolm’s obsessive detail and fresh perspective on history, this is a must listen for all. I have a very limited knowledge of WWII but the way the book is written is suitable for anyone. Really puts the moral question of war at the forefront and challenges whether people choose to stick to their morals under all circumstances or get tempted by the devil. It’s a much shorter book that I listened to over two days and it’s similar to his podcast format which I found to be highly engaging. Highly recommend!
