Story4.5 out of 5 stars 38
In 2010, Chelsea Manning, working as an intelligence analyst in the US Army in Iraq, disclosed 720,000 classified military documents that she had smuggled out via the memory card of her digital camera. In March 2011, the US Army sentenced Manning to 35 years in military prison, charging her with 22 counts relating to the unauthorized possession and distribution of classified military documents. The day after her conviction, Manning declared her gender identity as a woman and began to transition.

It was a great surprise to discover how profound and graceful Chelsea is. The book taught me so much about resilience and the power of mind. I admire her!

Story4 out of 5 stars 85
We begin with the footsteps of a family walking along a beach 950,000 years ago. From here, Montefiore takes us on an exhilarating epic journey through the families that have shaped our world: the Caesars, Medicis and Incas, Ottomans and Mughals, Bonapartes, Habsburgs and Zulus, Rothschilds, Rockefellers and Krupps, Churchills, Kennedys, Castros, Nehrus, Pahlavis and Kenyattas, Saudis, Kims and Assads.

Fascinating book ruined by poor narration
- By Mark on 29-10-22
Author must re-record it
Reviewed: 31-12-22
Let’s make every review count- the narration is horrific- Simon has a fantastic captivating voice, he should not have been lazy to record the whole book to this high standard himself. I would like a refund based on the poor narration. Unlistenable
