A Fast Listen for a History Fanatic

This is an amazing collection of real-life stories that highlight the bravery and sacrifice of individuals during the war. Each story is captivating and gives a personal, human touch to the larger historical events. The narrative is engaging and it makes history feel more personal rather than just dates and events that you read about in history textbooks. Really inspiring.

Great stories of courage and bravery

This audiobook covers stories in a powerful and moving collection that I haven't heard before. Growing up as a kid I was really interested in military history too! My favorite was getting to hear about Virginia Hall. This is great for anyone who is interested in military related history and especially world war 2, and the narrator does a great job!
