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!

A very engaging account, but looking into the response and analysis finds that Gladwell had over-simplified or misrepresented many points. I love a good pop history, and this one is a great listen. But as a non-expert on the subject there are too many issues that need clarifying for me to be comfortable recommending this as a work of history.
