+ Wellington at Waterloo

‘Waterloo’ show how not to describe battles!

Firstly, maps and diagrams are a simple must for showing where the soldiers were and to whom they were facing.

+ Elephant on a beach with man

Arkham County is one of the most outlandish audio books I have ever come across

Arkham County is such a mixed bag, that if someone turned it into a movie, it would be either an instant classic or a stunning flop.

+ Colosseum in Rome

“Emperors of Rome” (the great courses) Review

“Emperors of Rome” by Garrett G Fagan covers the history of Roman Emperors, with a brief overview of each Emperor’s rises and fall.

+ American soldiers in Vietnam running into a helicopter

Mark Bowden “Hue 1968” Review

“Hue 1968” describes the battle that took place in Hue during the Tet Offensive in 1968 through the eyes of participants who were there.

+ Headphones

Avoid these three terrible audio books!

Commonly bad audiobooks suffer from bad narration usually provided without enthusiasm, in a boring and dull manor.

+ Spy camera

“In the Gap” The first FBI agent convicted for being a Soviets spy.

The true story of Richard W. Miller is unique and one of a kind. Normally it would be hard to find a real life spy comedy, but look no further.

+ Sherlock Holmes
