important read

an insightful essential look at evolutionary psychology. the author dies a great job of dispelling many erroneous notions of social darwinism and frames a new paradigm to analyze human consciousness.

don't judge a book by it's cover

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I wouldn't recommend this book to a friend because presumably they would expect to learn a lot about Mr. Patton, instead they'll learn about everything but him. This docudrama type profile on the general had about 40% to do with him an 60% to do with dozens of other interesting marginally related issues. There is no discipline in this narrative, very disappointing. In addition, Mr. O'Reilly's wild claims about the death of Patton are unsubstantiated - mentioning this theory the way he did is void of intellectual rigor and borders on scandalous anti-American propaganda.

Was Killing Patton worth the listening time?

It was interesting but I was looking to learn much more about Mr. Patton, not a big picture look at the time period with glances at Mr. Patton's life.

What made the experience of listening to Known and Unknown the most enjoyable?

I have listened/read about this time in our history from several different leaders on both sides of the aisle, this is one of the most biased and honest perspectives of any I've seen. Mr. Rumsfeld has no fear in clearly stating his opinion of any important figure in his time in politics and business.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

All the President's Man.

Any additional comments?

He's considerably more likable after understanding his perspective, until you hear from the source it is easy to think of this man as an evil caricature behind the scenes,

This is a hypnotizing look at gaining power.

Have you listened to any of Don Leslie’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not but this one was excellent, very appropriate for the subject matter

What insight do you think you’ll apply from The 48 Laws of Power?

Applying any insight from this book should be kept private

Any additional comments?

Don't let the nefarious nature of the subject matter dissuade your from learning, you are not too Holy to not learn this.
