The audiobook using actual archival recordings was a very cool touch! For me, I just struggled a bit with keeping track of events. I was kinda horrified by the blasé attitude people involved in the historical events had toward death/violence. That’s probably a me thing though.

This was one of the best audiobook productions I've heard. The book itself, it was not bad, I think I was just not that intrigued.

Solid Malcolm Gladwell/Pushkin content. Glad I listened! Informative, and the right amount of emotional as well.

This isn't my usual genre, even within non-fiction I'm not usually drawn to these types of topics. It was informative, interesting, and the writing style was easy to read (even though the subject matter wasn't always what i would call easy reading). I would probably suggest it to people I know are interested in history or the airforce, but this wasn't so life changing and earth shattering amazing that I'm going to run around suggesting it to everybody I know.

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